Your predictions are uncanny! ;)
Exploring the area via google earth, seems to indicate this is the site of an ancient super volcano. A lake covers a possible caldera with what looks to be smaller volcanic sites surrounding it.

Yes, one can identify a supervolcano by looking at Google Earth for 10 seconds.
Sigh.
There are a number of volcanoes in the region, but Lake Van itself is not a caldera. It was formed from a lava flow from one of the volcanoes blocking drainage in the region.

It's all in the S/Wave....which for this EQ the world's webicorders depict a much more reasonable one...lol
