Khustup, Mountain peak in Syunik Province, Armenia.
Mount Khustup rises to 3201 meters, featuring steep rocky slopes, alpine meadows, and dense forests on its northeastern sections.
The mountain's name originates from Hurrian language meaning 'prayer', indicating its long-standing role as a spiritual gathering place.
A memorial bust of Armenian military commander Garegin Njdeh stands 300 meters below the summit, marking the mountain's national importance.
