{{Refimprove|date=September 2014}}Adır Island ({{lang-tr|Adır Adası}}) or Lim Island ({{lang-hy|Լիմ կղզի}} Lim kghzi), is an island in Lake Van. During the Armenian genocide upwards of 12,000 Armenian women and children, crossed to the isle over a period of three days while a few dozen men covered their retreat from Hamidiye regiments. The Situation became soon critical because of a lack of food.[1]The Armenian Monastery on the island was called St. George or Sourp Kevork.[2] It was built in 1305 and expanded in 1621 and 1766. The Monastery is currently in ruins.[2] The island also contains a cemetery of Armenian khachkars.[2] GalleryReferences1. ^{{cite book|last=Kevorkian|first=Raymond|title=The Armenian Genocide: A Complete History|year=2011|publisher=I.B.
