Vaghatur (Armenian: Վաղատուր) is a village in the Tegh Municipality of the Syunik Province in Armenia.
It is located in the central-eastern part of the province, a short distance from the Vorotan River - a tributary of the Aras River, which, in turn, is a tributary of the Kurá - and the border with Azerbaijan.
The village was previously known as Bayandur, a tribal name which originates from Bayandur tribe of Oghuz Turks.
The Statistical Committee of Armenia reported its population was 476 in 2010,[3] up from 458 at the 2001 census.[4]
