Near the village, there was a rich reservoir and the dwellers of the village got water from that stream. To get the water, they had to open the plug and then carefully put it back on its place.<\/p>\n<p>One evening one of the village women went to reservoir to fetch some water, opened the plug and then forgot to put it back. Water began to flow and soon reached the village. When people of the village understood what had happened they fled from the village and put a curse on the one who left the plug open, so he\/she will turn into stone. And the woman who accidentally left the stream open immediately turned into stone. Meanwhile, the water continued to flow and soon covered the entire territory, forming Lake Sevan.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_24967\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_7732.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24967\" class=\"wp-image-24967 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_7732.jpg?resize=1200%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Lake Sevan\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_7732.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_7732.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_7732.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_7732.jpg?resize=1030%2C687&amp;ssl=1 1030w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_7732.jpg?resize=705%2C470&amp;ssl=1 705w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_7732.jpg?resize=450%2C300&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-24967\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lake Sevan<\/p><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-5ekjgot-8eb7d712f110351904c74bbf15015ef7\">\n#top .hr.av-5ekjgot-8eb7d712f110351904c74bbf15015ef7{\nmargin-top:30px;\nmargin-bottom:30px;\n}\n.hr.av-5ekjgot-8eb7d712f110351904c74bbf15015ef7 .hr-inner{\nwidth:50px;\nborder-color:#5e5e5e;\nmax-width:45%;\n}\n.hr.av-5ekjgot-8eb7d712f110351904c74bbf15015ef7 .av-seperator-icon{\ncolor:#5e5e5e;\n}\n.hr.av-5ekjgot-8eb7d712f110351904c74bbf15015ef7 .av-seperator-icon.avia-svg-icon svg:first-child{\nfill:#5e5e5e;\nstroke:#5e5e5e;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-5ekjgot-8eb7d712f110351904c74bbf15015ef7 hr-custom  avia-builder-el-1  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_hr  hr-center hr-icon-yes'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><span class='av-seperator-icon avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello' data-av_icon='\ue84e' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' ><\/span><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p>When people were obliged to immigrate from Van and settle on the shores of Lake Sevan, they convinced themselves that it could become another Van for them.
