Portaraits of Ararat

PORTAITS OF ARARAT

Ararat is old name Mount of Agri.
Agri is located in Eastern Turkey on the borders of Iran, Armenia and Nahcivan.

I went to Agri for the first time. The total journey by bus from Istanbul to Agri takes about 23 hours. You can also go by plane but I have not planned this journey.

History
The plateau of Ağrı was controlled by the Kingdom of Urartu until its transition to the Kingdom of Armenia. The area was coveted by many as a gateway between east and west. It was conquered numerous times by Assyrians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Georgians, Mongols, Persians, and finally by the Seljuq and Ottoman Turks.
The first Muslims in the area were the Abbasids in 872. The Turkish tribes began to pass through in huge numbers following the defeat of the Byzantine armies at Malazgirt in 1071, sometimes pursued by Mongols. The land was brought into the Ottoman Empire by Sultan Selim I following the Battle of Chaldiran. The region retained a large Armenian population until the Armenian Genocide of 1915.
