Alashkert (Armenian: Ալաշկերտ) is a village in the Armavir Province of Armenia.
In 2008, the village was renamed Alashkert, after the historic Western Armenian town of Alashkert, from which many of its inhabitants had escaped in 1918.
The village was populated by Iranian Azerbaijanis who were forcibly settled in Alashkert as part of raising Muslim dominance in the region.
Armenian migrants settled in the region in 1918 after having escaped from Western Armenia.
