Yerazgavorsi Surb Amenaprkitchi Vank (Holy Saviour of All) () is an Armenian monastery in the village of Çetindurak (previously called Başsüregel) in the Kars Province of present-day Turkey. This corresponds to the Shirakavan settlement of Historical Armenia, also known by its older name of Yerazgavors, developed into a small town in the mid-ninth century AD. It was located about 25 km Northeast of Ani, the capital of the medieval Bagratid (Bagratuni) Armenian Kingdom. Read more on Wikipedia
