Syunik Province, Province in southern Armenia.

The mountainous terrain of Syunik Province contains dense forests, rivers, and peaks reaching heights of 3,905 meters at Mount Kaputjugh.

The region, formerly known as Siunia and Zangezur, became part of the Russian Empire after the Russo-Persian War of 1826-1828.

The Armenian Apostolic Church maintains strong influence throughout Syunik Province, with the Diocese of Syunik managing religious affairs from its center in Goris.

The province spans 4,506 square kilometers with Kapan serving as the administrative center, connecting to Iran through strategic transportation routes.

Mining operations, particularly the Zangezur Copper and Molybdenum Complex, form the industrial foundation of the region's economic activities.
