Айраванк · Հայրավանք

Hayravank is a monastery on the southwest shore of Lake Sevan, in Gegharkunik province. Just northeast of the village, a khachkar (carved cross-stone) stands on a pedestal in front of the monastery's western wall. It's known as the Akob Aghi khachkar.

Akob, a 16th-century Armenian sculptor who made khachkars and tombstones, carved it. The upper left corner is broken. It's listed on Armenia's state register of immovable historical and cultural monuments, under number 5.59/1.1.3.5.

Hayravank is in Gegharkunik province, near the town of Gavar, on Lake Sevan's southwest shore, about 58 km east-northeast of Yerevan in a straight line.
