    Today Kars does not cease to warm Armenians

    12:56, 4 July, 2012

    YEREVAN, JULY 4, ARMENPRESS: Kars, the tenth capital of Armenia,
    despite being under the rule of the Turks for nearly a century,
    continues to call back its natives.

    The Armenian spirit is felt next to the Turkish buildings and streets
    once being Armenian.

    Armenpress reporter traveled to Western Armenia, visited historical
    Armenian cities and shared with impressions.

    " Kars' streets resembled Armenian second largest city Gyumry. In Kars
    we admired Kars fortress: built in mediaeval it still had not lost
    its impregnable appearance. The arsenal and the stables for horses
    were preserved. Yet the flag flying on the top of the fortress,
    depicting Ataturk picture next to it, cannon deployed at the heart of
    the square continually reminded about the fact that the powerful
    fortress was no longer ours.

    Leaving the city we passed over Vardan bridge, a few meters away
    situated the house of Armenian great poet Charents, in an extremely
    poor condition. There are yet no groundless facts that Charents house
    had already been turned to the ground.

    No matter how the reality differs from the dreams, the call of your
    ancestors make you turn a backward look at the past, at your
    historical homeland, at Western Armenia".
