Lichk ( _hy. Լիճք, also Romanized as Lichk’ and Lichq; formerly, Gël and Gyol) is a town in the Gegharkunik province of Armenia. Lichk and Gyol mean "lake" in Armenian and Turkish, respectively. Although the town was founded in 1830, there are ruins of earlier habitation including remains of a medieval town, 13th century khachkars, and a cyclopean fort.
