The Surb Astvatsatsin church of Karin Tak sits on the eastern side of the historic Armenian village. According to inscriptions on the church facades, it was built in 1841 and renovated in 1903. The single nave basilica was renovated again in 2000. Additional information can be found at the link.<\/p>\n

A September 18, 2020 image shows the initial stage in the construction of a new mosque (A) amidst the standing houses of the village. A December 20, 2023 image shows work on the mosque continuing even as the homes of the entire village have been razed. Only a single structure remains standing amidst the ruins: Surb Astvatsatsin church. By April 4, 2024 the bulldozers had demolished the village, approaching the edge of the cemetery (B). The church remains standing amidst the debris.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
