Avaj (Persian: آوج), also Romanized as Avej; also known as Aveh,[3] is a city in the Central District of Avaj County, Qazvin province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district.[4] Its people speak Azerbaijani.[citation needed]
At the 2006 census, its population was 3,695 in 1,042 households, when it was in the former Avaj District of Buin Zahra County.[5] The following census in 2011 counted 5,609 people in 1,616 households.[6] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 5,142 people in 1,621 households,[2] by which time the district had been separated from the county in the establishment of Avaj County.[4]
Avaj lies 130 miles (210 km) west of Tehran along Road 37, about 20 kilometres south by road from Abgarm. The city is in an agricultural area.[7] Avaj was near the epicenter of the 2002 Bou'in-Zahra earthquake and thus was severely affected by it, with roughly half the town being razed.[8]
