Gomk (Armenian: Գոմք) is a village in the Vayk Municipality of the Vayots Dzor Province of Armenia.
History
There is a 17th-century church, and a shrine/khachkar from 1263 in the village. The inscription upon it reads:[2]
"In 712 of the Armenian era, under the pious Prince Prosh, Mkhitar, Arevik, son of Khoidan, set up this cross and chapel. In the village there was not even a church. We have built this church with our own means with much trouble, for us and our parents. You who read, remember us in your prayers."
