Aygehat (Armenian: Այգեհատ) is a village in the Lori Province of Armenia, specifically in the Alaverdi region. It is 9 km south-west of the city of Alaverdi, and 43 km northeast Vanadzor. The village is located on the left bank of the Debed river on a high plateau, 1150m above sea level.
From 1963 to 1992, the town was called Danushavan, in honor of Danush Shahverdian, an Armenian politician and diplomat who was born in Aygehat.[1]
