Sparkert, a province in Western Armenia, in the Beatles province of the Beatles village, in the lower reaches of the Mox River. It corresponds to the Ishayr province of the historical Mok world. It was first mentioned in the form of Sparkert in the XIV century. According to tradition, the Apostle Barthugemeus brought here the image of the Holy Virgin, because of which the area was called the Holy Image and it changed sound to Sparker. According to another tradition, Jesus Christ arrived here and sent his image to a nearby region. Because of this, the area was called Image, and then Sparker.
