Which lake?
Lake Sevan. Fun fact, most of the area around Lake Sevan used to belong to Azerbaijan during the Soviet Union because the area had a majority population of Azerbaijanis. It was agreed that it would be transferred to Soviet Armenia because they lacked an appropriate water source. During the late 80s when Armenian nationalistic sentiment was all about "kick all Aziks out of Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh", pretty much all of the Azerbaijanis living there got thrown out or flat-out killed if they refused to leave their homes. If they were lucky, they'd just get brutalized and then driven out.

Which means that lake still hold strategic importance, and once AZ gains control of the eastern border of the lake it'll be opening a new nightmarish front.
