Gugark (Classical Armenian: Gugarats Ashkhar, meaning “the Land of Gugark”) or Gogarene (Georgian:გოგარენე, Gogarene) was the thirteenth province of Greater Armenia, located in the northern part of the Armenian Highlands. It bordered Iberia (ancient Georgia) and held significant strategic importance as a protector of Armenia's northern frontiers. Gugark was known for its fertile valleys, forests, and important trade routes. The province played a major role in the political, economic, and cultural life of Armenia, and several of its districts served as strongholds of Armenian noble families. In the Ashkharatsuyts ("Geography"), Gugark is described as a large multi-district province that occupied an important place in the administrative structure of Greater Armenia.
