Response to Yeh, pretty amazing!

 

You wrote "the Kayaburun church is unknown and unpublished". I think that is not correct. I found a quite long entry in Jean-Michel Thierry's article "La Region de Divrik" which was published in "Handes Amsorya (Zeitschrift für armenische Philologie)", Vienna 1995, pp. 325-359. The Kayaburun church is described on pp. 334-335. Thierry mentiones two churches in Kayaburun:

(1) "L'église paroissiale Saint-Thomas (S. T'uvma), située en haut du village. D'après l'inscription l'église a été construite (ou restaurée) en 1809 [...]."

(2) "Le couvent P'aylevank' (Vodrivank', Vawdrivank') est attesté comme scriptorium au XVe siècle, en 1469 [...]. Nous proposons de l'identifier à un èdifice se trouvant à l'extrémité orientale du village actuel, pres de cimetière. Il n'en reste plus que l'église à demi ruinée: petite mononef à abside demi-circulaire [...]."

On page 345 you can find a map with the Armenian churches and monasteries in the Divrigi area and pictures and plans of the Kayaburun churches are too to be found (figures 9-12).
