Koti in the Russian Empire from 1828–1840 formed a part of the Georgian Governorate, and later of the Georgia-Imeretia Governorate 1840–1845, then of the Tiflis Governorate until it finally became part of the Kazakh uezd of the Elizavetpol Governorate in 1868.

In 1918, the First Republic of Armenia declared its independence from the Russian SFSR and became the controller of Koti, then known as Kotikend or Kotigegh.{{Cite book |url=http://www.cadastre.am/storage/files/pages/pg_907871769_HH_bnak._bar..pdf |title=Հայաստանի Հանրապետության բնակավայրերի բառարան |publisher=Cadastre Committee of the Republic of Armenia |year=2008 |location=Yerevan |pages=187 |language=Armenian |trans-title=Republic of Armenia settlements dictionary |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180311232523/http://www.cadastre.am/storage/files/pages/pg_907871769_HH_bnak._bar..pdf |archive-date=11 March 2018 |url-status=dead}} During the Armenian–Azerbaijani war, Koti and Kalacha (present-day Berdavan) were occupied by the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic on 7 April 1920 as a result of the hostilities in Nagorno-Karabakh; later after a brief ceasefire on 9 April, Koti and Kurumsulu (Barekamavan) were burned.{{Cite book |last=Hovannisian |first=Richard G. |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/238471 |title=The Republic of Armenia |date=1971–1996 |publisher=University of California Press |isbn=0-520-01805-2 |volume=3 |location=Berkeley |pages=163 |oclc=238471}} After the Soviet invasion of Azerbaijan, the Russian SFSR and Armenia concluded an agreement on 10 August 1920 to delineate Soviet Azerbaijan's border—in which Koti was confirmed within the bounds of Armenia.

In 1930, the Armenian SSR experienced an administrative reorganisation that transformed its uezds into raions. Koti which was formerly part of the Dilijan Uyezd subsequently became a part of the Ijevan District.{{Citation |last=Tsutsiev |first=Arthur |title=Atlas of the Ethno-Political History of the Caucasus |date=2014 |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/884858065 |pages=84 |place=New Haven and London |isbn=978-0-300-15308-8 |oclc=884858065 |access-date=2021-12-25}}
