Sotk (Template:Lang-hy, Zod until 1991) is a town in the Gegharkunik Province of Armenia. In 1969 an urban type supplementary was built in the course of industrialisation of the region, which encompassed a gold mine and light metallurgy fabric in the outskirts of the town. The town has a basilica dated to the 7th century, with 13th century gravestones in the walls. It was populated by Azerbaijanis until 1988, who as a result of ethnic clashes fled to Azerbaijan.
Now it is partly populated by Armenians, who formerly lived in Azerbaijan. Google-Earth shows strong partial devastation of the town.
