Doghs (Armenian: Դողս) is a village in the Armavir Province of Armenia. In 894, Smbat I defeated Emir Apshin of Atrapatakan in a battle at Doghs. The town's church, dedicated to Surb Stepanos (Saint Stephen), was built in the 19th century.[2] There are also some 19th-century graves in the vicinity. The village has a school (247 students), first aid station, house of culture, and community center.[3]
