Gay (Armenian: Գայ [ɡɑj]) until 1978, Khatunarkh, is a village in the Armavir Province of Armenia. It was founded in the 1670s, and named for the wife of Sefi Khan, Safavid governor of Chokhur-e Sa'd.[1][2] In 1978, it was renamed in honour of Russian Civil War hero Hayk Bzhshkian, whose nom-de-guerre was Gay.[1]
