Kingdom of Syunik (Armenian: Սյունիքի թագաորություն), also known as the Kingdom of Baghk[2] and sometimes as the Kingdom of Kapan,[2] was a medieval dependent Armenian kingdom[1][2] on the territory of Syunik, Artsakh (present-day Nagorno-Karabakh), and Gegharkunik. Ruled by the Siunia dynasty, the town of Kapan was the capital of the kingdom.[3] It existed from 987-1170. Kingdom of Syunik disappeared later than all other Armenian kingdoms in Greater Armenia (Kingdom of Vaspurakan, Kingdom of Vanand, Kingdom of Tashir-Dzoraget, Bagratid Armenia).
