Lake Hazar (Turkish: Hazar Gölü; Armenian: Ծովք լիճ, romanized: Covk‘ lič) is a rift lake in the Taurus Mountains, 22 km southeast of Elazığ, notable as the source of the Tigris. It was formerly known as Lake Geoljuk.

Hazar Lake, Elazig

During the Armenian genocide the lake was used as an execution site.[1][2]

Sunken city

Scientists found 4,000-year-old archaeological traces of a city below the lake. The city has been submerged in Lake Hazar, since 1830. Turkey wants to register its historic 'Sunken City' in eastern Anatolia as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.[3]

Ebubakar Irmak, Mayor of Sivrice, said he dove into the lake in 2017 and saw the remains of churches, walls of a castle, pots, pottery and glazed plates of the citadel with traces of the Seljuk, Byzantine and Ottoman era.[4][5] In 2019, amphora tombs were also found in the sunken city.[6]
