Astghadzor prayer times overview
The Astghadzor prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Local time in Astghadzor is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha are calculated based on this city's data specifically, not the country's average time.
Astghadzor coordinates: 40.1223°N and 45.3555°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. For southern latitudes, the seasonal changes in day and night length are more moderate.
Astghadzor prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. In southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
Today in Astghadzor 14 часов 4 минуты passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 06:02, while the evening prayer begins at 20:06. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
In Astghadzor the period from Maghrib (20:06) to Fajr (04:30) lasts 8 часов 24 минуты. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Astghadzor the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
If you plan your day around the Astghadzor prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 04:30 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:06 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 21:32 the start of the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Astghadzor, while the Asr time is determined according to the Hanafi madhhab. This allows the schedule to be used as a daily reference for the obligatory prayers.

Questions about prayer times in Astghadzor
Prayer times are determined by the sun's altitude above the horizon, which is unique for every geographic point. The calculation is affected by latitude, longitude and the established time zone. For this reason, even cities located in the same region have different values for Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha. The more a city is shifted to the north or south, the more the daylight length, and with it the prayer moments, differ.
The prayer schedule in Astghadzor is recalculated daily, because the position of the sun changes throughout the year. The daylight length gradually increases in spring and shortens in autumn, so the Fajr and Maghrib times shift literally every day. The fastest changes occur during the spring and autumn equinoxes. Therefore, we recommend checking with the current data daily.
Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (04:30) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:06) indicates the moment of iftar — the fast is broken precisely at sunset. Nevertheless, during the blessed month of Ramadan we advise checking the current values daily, since a difference of just a few minutes can be important while fasting.
This is not the most reliable approach. The more accurate the coordinates, the more accurate the prayer times, and in each city they are unique. Even a small shift in latitude or longitude changes the moment of sunrise and sunset, and therefore the prayer times as well. Therefore, for Astghadzor it is more correct to rely on an individual schedule drawn up for this city specifically; this is especially important during Ramadan, when the calculation is conducted literally in minutes.
