Excerpt: Syunik (Armenian: , also transliterated as Siunik, or Siwnik, pronounced "Sew-Nick) is the southernmost province (marz) of Armenia. It borders the Vayots Dzor marz to the north, Azerbaijan's Nakhchivan exclave to the west, Karabakh to the east, and Iran to the south. Its capital is Kapan. Other important cities and towns include Goris, Sisian, Meghri, Agarak, and Dastakert. The National Statistical Service of the Republic of Armenia (ARMSTAT) reported its population was 152,900 in 2010, up from 152,684 at the 2001 census. Historically, Syunik was one of the 15 provinces of the Kingdom of Armenia. At various times, the region of present-day Syunik has also been known by other names such as Syunia, Sisakan, and Zangezur. The area's many Armenian cultural sites (such as the Tatev monastery) testify to its rich history. Syunik is a green but mountainous area. The high-water major rivers are the Meghri, Voghdji, and Vorotan. Summertime temperatures can reach more than 40°C, although the average temperature is around 22°C. Its border with Nakhchivan to the west is defined by the Zangezur Mountains. Syunik is home to many of Armenia's largest mining operations (at Kajaran, Kapan, Agarak) as well as the largest tailing dams (at Artzvanik, Voghtchi, Darazami, Geghanoush). The prospect of a uranium mine being exploited by the Russian State Nuclear Energy Corporation (Rosatom) in the village of Lernadzor has environmentalists and locals concerned. Inscriptions found in the region around Lake Sevan attributed to the same king (King Artashes I) confirm that in the 2nd century B.C. the District of Syunik constituted part of the Ancient Armenia. The first dynasty to rule Syunik was the Siak, beginning in the 1st century. The first known ruler was Valinak Siak (c. 330). His successor was his brother Andok (c. 340). Syunik was occupied by the Persian Empire, c. 369. In 379, King Babik, son of Andok, was re-established as ruler by the Mamikonians. His sister, Pharantzem, was married
