Lake Urmia (also known as Urmio, Kaputan) is the largest lake in the Armenian Highland. Due to its high alkalinity it does not support any fauna. It is currently located on the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

There are also other small lakes such as Tsovakn Hyusiso (Tseli, Chyldyr), Archak or Archishak, Nazik, Parvana, Gaylatu, etc. There are two other fresh water lakes, Stone Lake on Mt. Aragats, and Lake Nemrut on Nemrut Mountain. There are also several picturesque waterfalls, such as Shaki, Berkri and Tortum, to name a few.
