Editor's Note
Aparank Monastery, also known as Holy Cross Aparank, is an Armenian monastery near the town of Bahçesaray in Van province, within the historical Armenian province of Mokk. Founded in the 10th century to house a relic of the True Cross, it was restored and expanded in the 17th century and abandoned in the first half of the 20th century after the Armenian genocide. Before then it comprised the churches of Surb Hovhannes Karapet and Surb Astvatsatsin and the chapels of Surb Stepannos and Surb Arakelots, along with a gavit, a fountain and a hotel.
