Deputy Gov. Halil Berk said the Armenian churches at Çarpanak Island and the village of Yukarı Bakraçlı are next for renovation.

Regarding the fate of what remains of the Armenian cultural and religious heritage in the region, Governor Karaloglu explained how “a hundred years ago, there was a huge Christian Armenian population living in this region, and all their churches and monasteries are left abandoned here. Maybe the church of Akhtamar was the most famous among all of them, that’s why it was done first and it is the most talked about. But we also started to put plans of renovation for other churches too, such as the Monastery on Carpanak Island [Gdouts, in Armenian]. The plans will be submitted to the Higher Council of Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection, and only after their approval the project will be put into implementation.”

The Carpanak Church, on Carpanak Island, is another well preserved example of Armenian churches in the Van region. The church, 25 kilometers north of Van, was probably built in the 11th century. http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/default.aspx?pageid=438&n=the-fortress-of-van-2002-09-10

"There are four islands including Akdamar Island in Lake Van. Every island has a church. Only Akdamar Church was restored. Churches in Carpanak Island and Yukaribakracli village will also be restored with the project prepared by us," Berk said. http://www.aa.com.tr/en/news/37081--armenian-churches-in-van-to-be-restored-

North of Akdamar another even more isolated and forgotten 11th-century Armenian church stands on the island of Carpanak, popular with birdwatchers. https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=north+of+akdamar+another+even+more+isolated+and+forgotten+century+armenian+church+carpanak&tbm=bks

Carpanak Church which was built in the 6th century was restored in 1462. After an earthquake in 1703, the church was again restored between 1712 and 1720. http://asbarez.com/77755/armenian-churches-in-van-to-be-restored-says-official/
