Amyuk, One Of The Impregnable Armenian Fortresses

Amyuk, Located in the historic province of Arberan, has existed since the times of the Kingdom of Van. Cuneiform records have been preserved.

It belonged to the Gnunis, then to the Artsrunis. When Senekerim Artsruni handed over Vaspurakan to the Byzantines and moved to Sebastia, Amyuk became the last domain of the Artsrunis.
