Holy Mother of God Church

Holy Mother of God Church — Surb Astvatsatsin, meaning "Holy Mother of God" — is a newly built church standing in the Narekatsi neighborhood. The neighborhood falls within Yerevan's Avan district by name, though place records group the site under Kotayk region, close to the town of Abovyan.

No founding date or architect is recorded. What's known is simple: it's open daily, 9:00 to 18:00, and serves as a working parish church for the surrounding streets rather than a landmark with a longer past.

The church sits in Kotayk region, near the town of Abovyan, ~8 km northeast of Yerevan (straight-line).
