Aghvorik () is a village in the Amasia Municipality of the Shirak Province of Armenia.

== History == Some of the ancestors of the village population emigrated from Western Armenia in 1828–1830. The village was mostly populated by Azerbaijanis. In 1988-1989, during the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, local Azeris moved to Azerbaijan, and Armenian families resettled in the village.
