NO ARMENIAN FLAG ON ARARAT

Politics

From now on the authorization of the Turkish special service is needed in order to climb Mount Ararat. The Turkish authorities introduced the requirement after Armenian students from the USA raised the Armenian flag on top of the Mountain.

According to newspaper “Marmara”, the protocol about Ararat has been signed by the Turkish Ministry of Culture, Internal affairs and the Turkish secret services. According to the protocol, those who want to climb the mountain must send an application two months before; in case of foreigners, the secret service must approve of their application.

Those who want to climb the mountain, must refrain from scientific investigations. Their only aim must be tourism. Their equipment must also be checked.
