Minjavan District (Persian: بخش منجوان) is in Khoda Afarin County, East Azerbaijan province, Iran. Its capital is the village of Asheqlu.
History
The only noteworthy allusion to the district in official records relates to an appeal by the inhabitants of the district to the interior minister of Iran, requesting protection from the "abuses by Mohammad Khanlu family."
After the 2006 National Census, Khoda Afarin District was separated from Kaleybar County in the establishment of Khoda Afarin County, which was divided into three districts and seven rural districts, with Khomarlu as its capital and only city.
