Eastern Turkey
Mark Merlino - Home page
One of the main cities in the rugged lands
of Eastern Turkey is
Erzurum. In
Erzurum there are many old mosques
and this impressive citadel.
Ani is the ancient capital city of Armenia. Today the
ruins of Ani are near the Turkish city of Kars, on the
country's Eastern border. Many well buildings,
including this church are in superb condition.
Near Turkey's Eastern border is the tiny
city of
Kars, which is known for its large
citadel and old Armenian churches and
Turkish mosques.
In the Northeast, Turkey borders the Black
Sea. This wall is from the Byzantine period
walls of medieval
Trabzon.
