Ani Ruins Kars Turkey (HD ver) with Mount Ararat Trek by Amy Beam
Ani ruins are the remains of ancient Armenian churches located 42 km NE of Kars, Turkey on the border of Armenia. There is no public transportation from Kars. Since the border with Armenia is closed, you must arrive to Kars from the Posof, Georgia border (131 km), or Trabzon on the Black Sea, or fly into Kars airport. Ani ruins close at 4:30 PM, so you must arrive in Kars no later than 2 PM. Otherwise, spend the night in Kars and visit the Kars Museum or Kars fort on the hill, then visit Ani the next morning. To get to Mount Ararat from Kars (181 km; 3 hours), take a bus to Igdir then transfer and take a bus to Dogubayazit. Mount Ararat Trek can arrange your tour in eastern Turkey and mountain expedition to summit of Mount Ararat . We pick up groups from any airport or the Georgian border.

Kars City,Turkey:
Kars is a city in northeast Turkey and the capital of Kars Province.
With a population of 113599 (in 2016), it is the largest city on the Turkish side of the closed border with Armenia . For a brief period of time, it served as the capital of the medieval Bagratid Kingdom of Armenia. Its significance increased in the 19th century, when Kars was contested between the Ottoman and Russian empires, with the latter gaining control of the city as a result of the 1877-78 war. During World War I, the Ottomans took control of the city in 1918 and declared the Provisional National Government of the Southwestern Caucasus, but were forced to relinquish it to the First Republic of Armenia following the Armistice of Mudros. During the Turkish–Armenian War in late 1920, Turkish revolutionaries captured Kars for the last time. The controversial Treaty of Kars was signed in 1921 between the Government of the Grand National Assembly and the Soviet republics of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia, which established the current north-eastern boundaries of Turkey.
Kars is served by a main highway from Erzurum, and lesser roads run north to Ardahan and south to Igdir. The town has an airport (Kars Harakani Airport), with daily direct flights to Ankara and Istanbul. Kars is served by a station on the Turkish Railways (TCDD) that links it to Erzurum. This line was originally laid when Kars was within the Russian Empire and connected the city to nearby Alexandropol and Tiflis, with a wartime, narrow-gauge extension running to Erzurum. Turkey's border crossings with Armenia, including the rail link, the Kars-Gyumri-Tbilisi railway, have regrettably been closed since April 1993. Construction on a new line, the Kars–Tbilisi–Baku railway, intended to connect Turkey with Georgia and Azerbaijan, began in 2010 and is scheduled for completion by 2017. The line will connect Kars to Akhalkalaki in Georgia, from where trains will continue to Tbilisi, and Baku in Azerbaijan.Wikipedia

turizmine ivme kazandıracak olan Kanlı Tabya – Kafkas Cephesi Harp Tarihi Müzesi Teşhir Tanzimi ve Çevre Düzenlemesi çalışmalarında sona yaklaşıldı. 1877-1878 Osmanlı-Rus Savaşı sırasında çok çetin ve kanlı çarpışmalara sahne olduğu için Kanlı Tabya olarak anılan tabyanın adı, gelecek kuşaklara Kars halkının ne denli zor koşullarda ve özveriyle bu şehri koruduğunu hatırlatmak ve olumsuz hisler çağrıştıran isminden arındırmak adına “Kafkas Cephesi Harp Tarihi Müzesi” olarak değiştirilmiş ve gerek şehrimize gerekse ülkemize tarihimizin tanığı tabyaları tanıtma imkanı sağlanmıştır.

Episode 5 - Turkey - Kars & Trabzon / 365 days off - Travel around the world
LAST TURKISH STOPS: KARS-TRABZON
Before our departure for Kars, we enjoyed the Kahvalti one last time in Van:
Delicious breakfast of more than a dozen of dishes: goat and cow cheeses, grilled vegetables, soups, delicatessen and fried specialities (sigara boregi: cheese cigar, very addictive…) and of course a lot of sweets.
Daniel fell in love with some kind of heavy and humid chestnut cake which fills you up for the rest of the day, Magali found a nick name for the cake “the stomac plug” (yeks!). Bad idea! We didn’t see coming the numerous passes to reach our next stop and the “Schumacher” behaviour of the minivan driver. You can imagine how we felt arriving in Kars!
Kars is a peculiar little town of about 70’000 citizens, it kept influences of Russian occupation (1890 to 1920) with basalt stoned baltic style buildings. It is also a perfect base to visit Ani, the fantastic ancient ruins, located 45km away.
After a few days in Kars, we decided to stop in Trabzon on the Black Sea Coast. People seem to enjoy life and the nice weather, here in Trabzon. We were quite glad to come back to the Sea level after having spent the last 3 weeks in Iran and Eastern Anatolia where the average altitude was close to 1600m.
The day after, we visited Uzungöl, also called the Switzerland of Turkey by locals. We couldn’t miss it!
We didn’t read our travel guide before leaving for Uzungöl “…with its lakeside mosque and forested mountains that recall Switzerland, Uzungöl (Long Lake) remains idyllic, but be prepared for more than a few tacky hotels (there are currently 1500 rooms here) and a growing number of visitors from the Gulf States, where they never see rain or green grass…”
A short, but pleasant, hike under the rain was our punishment.

The Bagratids bought the castle of Ani and its nearby estates from the Kamsarakans, and in the year 971 the Bagratid king Ashot III transferred his capital from Kars to Ani. At this time Ani was probably little more than a fortress town built around the citadel hill. King Ashot constructed new city walls across the narrowest point of the site, below and a little to the north of the citadel (there may have been older earthen ramparts along the same route). The city grew so quickly that the much larger outer walls to the north were completed by the year 989. The ruins that still extend beyond these walls prove that even they did not enclose a large enough area to contain the whole population.
Ani became an important crossroads for merchant caravans and the city controlled trade routes between Byzantium, Persia, Syria and central Asia. Merchants and craftsmen flocked to Ani from Armenia's older cities, accompanied by a flow of population from the rural areas of Armenia. In 992 the Armenian Katholikosat moved its seat to Ani: at the start of the 11th century there were 12 bishops, 40 monks and 500 priests in the city. By the 11th century the population of Ani was well over 100 000, perhaps as high as 200 000, and its wealth and renown was such that it was known as the city of a thousand and one churches.
After King Gagik I died in 1020 his two sons quarrelled and fought over who should succeed him. The eldest son, Hovhannes-Sembat, gained control of Ani. His younger brother, Ashot, controlled other parts of the Bagratid kingdom. Hovhannes had supported the ruler of Georgia in that king's war against the expansionist Byzantine empire and he feared that the Byzantines would now attack the weakened Bagratid Kingdom. To try and avoid this he made the Byzantine emperor Basil the heir to his dominions.
