Historical Introduction
1361 y․

The village Anapatik in the gorge of Haykara is mentioned alongside with its Holy Virgin Church in the colophon of the “Comments on the Mass”: “This was written by the hand of the commenter of the mass Zakare abegha, in the gorge of Haykara, in the village, which is called Anapatik, under the auspices of the Holy Virgin church, during the priorship of Father Stephanos, in the reign of Khan Huys, in bitter years of Christian victimization... Written in year 1361.” It is really hard to decide, which of the present-day villages was Anapatik. We only know for certain that this was one of the numerous settlements situated in the valley of the Hakari.
