  • The Saint Karapet Monastery was an Armenian monastic complex in the Taron Province of Greater Armenia, about 35 kilometers northwest of Mush, now in the Kurdish village of Chengeli in eastern Turkey. Founded in the fourth century by Saint Gregory the Illuminator, it was one of the oldest monasteries in Armenia. The monastery was a stronghold of the Mamikonians (the princely house of Taron) who were the holy warriors of Saint Yovhannes Karapet, their patron saint. Saint Karapet Monastery was also one of the three most important sites for Armenian Christian pilgrimage, and among the richest, most ancient institutions in Ottoman Armenia, until it was destroyed to its foundations by Turks after the Armenian Genocide.
  • Le monastère Saint-Karapet ou monastère Saint-Jean-le-Précurseur (en arménien Սուրբ Կարապետ Վանք, Sourp Karapet Vank), également couvent des Neuf Coins (en raison de neuf sources proches) et Glakavank, est un monastère arménien situé en dehors des frontières arméniennes, en Turquie près de l'actuelle ville de Muş. Fondé selon la tradition par saint Grégoire l'Illuminateur au IV siècle mais ne se développant qu'à partir des années 940, cet important centre religieux arménien composé de quatre églises a été détruit lors et après le génocide arménien.
