Kotavank (Armenian: Կոթավանք; also Surb Astvatsatsin meaning Holy Mother of God) is a church located on a hill overlooking the Argitchi River and village of Nerkin Getashen south of Lake Sevan in the Gegharkunik Province of Armenia. A large medieval cemetery surrounds the church with numerous khachkars. A modern cemetery adjacent has started to encroach upon the old one leaving many of the khachkars and ancient tombstones upturned in a pile moved from their original locations.
