Gavar (Armenian: Գավառ), is a city and the provincial capital of the Armenian province of Gegharkunik. It was known as Nor Bayezet or Novyi Bayazet until 1959, then Kamo (named in honour of Bolshevik of the same name) until 1996. The town is situated in the mountains with an average altitude of 2000 meters above sea level, on a distance of 98 kilometers to the east of the capital Yerevan.
Gavar lies in the Armenian Highlands, just few miles away from the western shores of Lake Sevan. The city was founded in 1830 by migrants from the Ottoman Empire city of Bayazet (Armenian Daroink), and named "New Bayazit". It achieved city status in 1850.
Despite its relatively modern rebirth, the area has an ancient past. Fabled monuments dating back to the Bronze Age adorn the region, a testimony to the presence of Armenians in the region for thousands of years.
On the western part of the hill, located at the town center there are remnants of cyclopean fortress dating back to the early iron age. It is supposed that the fortress was the royal capital of the Urartian Velikukhi region. It was surrounded by more than 22 small fortresses. King Sarduri II, after having invaded Velikukhi and conquering the fortress, the fortress was renamed "Khaldi City" by his son Rusa II.

Be my, be my baby
Yesterday, I was watching the turning tide, of a memories of a changing shore line
Otherwise, was nevermore. Life was different, you closed the door
Still in all my heart is true, there's no forgetting you, what can I do?
Girl, don't you feel the things you've done to me
Took my broken heart and set it free, oh, girl.
Memories, change with every passing day, change with every word you stay
Lost in love without a trace, find myself, in a different place
Listen girl, I still believe, you'll find a way, come back to me
Girl, don't you feel the things you've done to me
Took my broken heart and set it free, oh, girl.
Now the flame is burning, but the fire is gone
This love that's haunting me, but I still push on
You touched controls, and they're moving me
And I can't break away, no.
Solo
Today, I sat and watched the setting sun, sit and think of only love,
A distance shore, a far away, restless heart so hard to tame
Listen girl, I still believe, you'll find you're way, come back to me
Girl, don't you feel the things you've done to me
Took my broken heart and set it free, oh, girl.
Girl, don't you close your eyes and walk away
Let me down and just fade away, oh, girl.
Don't you feel those things you do, don't you feel those things you do to me,
Oh, yeah, I said girl, girl, yeah
What you've done, don't you feel those feelings there
