Sipan (Template:Langx) is a village in the Alagyaz Municipality of the Aragatsotn Province of Armenia.

The village was previously known as Tamb (Script error: No such module "Lang".), Pamb (Script error: No such module "Lang".), Pambak (Script error: No such module "Lang". or Script error: No such module "Lang".), and Pamb Krdi (Script error: No such module "Lang".). It was renamed Sipan in 1978.[1]
History
During the period of the Russian Empire, the village was part of the Alexandropol Uezd of the Erivan Governorate, and became populated by Yazidi Kurds from the Kars region.[1]
In May 1918, the Ottomans crossed the river of Arpachay (Akhuryan) to wage a brief war against the Yerevan Republic. One column seized the city of Alexandropol and advanced north towards Mount Aragats, where 80 Yazidis got massacred in Pampa Kurda (Sipan).[2]
Demographics
The village is mostly populated by Yazidi Kurds.[1]
