A typical mud-brick flat-roofed village, but with lots of trees amongst the houses. Hard to tell if any of the houses date from before 1915 since, because of the materials, they would have been virtually rebuilt since then. Some of the villlage is now submerged beneath the rising waters of the lake. There are a number of khatchkars scattered throughout the village, built into the buildings. The foundations of the village's Armenain church survives - there is a vegetable garden in its nave, and a rubbish dump in its apse. Also, the ravens are still there, in their hundreds. Noisy buggers they are!
