Bagayarich

Bagayarich (also spelled Bagayarič, Bagarich or Bagarinch) was an ancient locality in the northwestern part of Armenia in the district of Daranali (or Daranałi[k]). The site is located near the village of Çadırkaya (formerly Pekeriç) in Turkey's Erzincan Province, c. 91.6 kilometers west of the modern city of Erzurum (ancient Karin). In ancient times, it housed the cult centre of the divinity Mihr (Mithra i.e. Mithras), the god of fire.
