Sugöze is a village in the Ardahan District, Ardahan Province, Turkey.[1] Its population is 207 (2021).[2]
The former name of the villages of Sugöze and Ağzıpek is "Chinchrobi". The Georgian place name Chinchrobi (Georgian: ჭინჭრობი) refers to places where nettles grow.[3] In old records, the village of Sugöze is referred to first as "Lower Chinchrobi" or "Cincrob-i Süfla" (جنجروب سفلا), then as "Little Chinchrobi" or "Küçük Cincrob" (كوچك جنجروب).[4][5]
The walls of the Lower Chinchrobi Church (Georgian: ქვემო ჭინჭრობის ეკლესია), dating back to the period when Christians lived in the village of Sugöze, have survived to the present day.[6]
