Historical Introduction

No records relating to Tapan have been preserved, but presumably, it was stripped of its Armenian population in the mid-18th century. The present-day Turkish settlement was established in the early 20th century, when some cattle-breeding tribes settled down in the site of the ancient Armenian village.
