Kocapınar (known as Hagi/Aği until officially renamed in 1959) is a modern town in the administrative district of Erciş in the Van Province in eastern Turkey. Here a stela with an inscription of Argišti II., son of Rusa (8th / 7th century BCE) was found which reports the creation of an artificial lake in front of Mount Quria.
