  • Reixtunik era el nom armeni de la regió al sud del Llac Van. Tenia per capital Manakert situada a la costa enfront de l'illa d'Althamar. Limitava al nord amb el llac i l'antiga Tusba (Van), la capital del regne d'Urartu, en una zona muntanyosa, i a l'oest amb el Yerevark i l'Aruenis Tzor (districtes del Tauruberan i del Mokq); al sud amb el Ishots Gavar (al Mokq) i el Mokq propi; i a l'est amb el Gukan i el Bazhuniq. El territori era governat per la família nakharark dels Reixtuní i va formar part del regne de Vaspurakan. Faust de Bizanci diu que a la regió hi havia unes mines importants de ferro i coure. Durant el regnat de Khosrov III d'Armènia (330-339), Vatshé Mamikonian i Baanes I Amatuní, per ordre del rei, van massacrar a la família dels Beznuní en aquella regió. Reixtunik era el territori més important de la família nakharark dels Reixtuní, però després de la mort de Teodor Reixtuní (ca. 656) el territori va passar a ser una possessió dels Mamikonian, i després dels Artsruní.

It was ruled by the Rshtuni (also referred to as Rashduni) noble house until the ninth century. The name of the region is likely connected with the name of Urartu/Urashtu, the Iron Age kingdom that was centered on the coastal regions around Lake Van. Rshtunik covered a mountainous region filled with river rapids, fertile lands, and rich mines. It was also home to a royal residence of the king of Armenia called Ostan Ṛshtuniatsʻ, located directly across from Aghtamar Island. In medieval times, Rshtunik contained numerous churches and monasteries, which functioned as centers of learning and art. One of the most famous of these was Narekavank (since demolished), where St. Gregory of Narek lived and studied. The region corresponded approximately to the latter-day district of Gevaş in the Van Vilayet of the Ottoman Empire. Before the Armenian genocide, this district contained more than twenty Armenian-populated villages with a total population of about ten thousand. (en)
