Petrovka (Armenian: Պետրովկա) is a village in the Lori Province of Armenia. The village was populated by non-religious Russians deported from the Tsarist Russian empire. The Russians were replaced with Azerbaijanis before the exodus of Azerbaijanis from Armenia after the outbreak of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. In 1988-1989 Armenian refugees from Azerbaijan settled in the village.[1]
