Beniamin (Armenian: Բենիամին) is a village in the Akhuryan Municipality of the Shirak Province of Armenia. The town was renamed in 1945 in honor of Beniamin Galstian, a World War II general and native of the town.[2] According to Ghevont Alishan, the old name of the village is "Chlofkhan or Chalovkhan", and was founded in 1828-1830 in the territory of the historical city of Draskhanakert.[3] The Statistical Committee of Armenia reported its population was 745 in 2010,[4] up from 702 at the 2001 census.[5]
