The Treaty of Kars in 1921 was fateful for the medieval capital of Armenia, Ani. Having appeared on the Armenian-Turkish, as well as the Soviet Union and NATO border, Ani and the surrounding areas essentially became militarized and closed zones. What happened during this time, what was Turkey’s policy towards Ani, what changes has it undergone over time, how is the history of Ani now presented in Turkey, who has written and spoken in Turkey about the preservation and importance of Ani, what renovation and fortification works are underway, what awaits Ani? To find answers to these questions, the CivilNet team visited Kars and Ani, talked to people interested in the history of Ani and concerned about its fate, as well as those involved in the fortification works. Below is the first part of the film. #CivilNet #СивилНет Subscribe to our channel: https://goo.gl/UnKG5U Follow us on Instagram: / civilnet.am Follow us on Twitter: / civilnettv Follow us on Telegram: https://t.me/s/civilnetv Find us on Facebook: / civilnet.tv Check our website: https://www.civilnet.am/ © Copyright of this report belongs to the Civilitas Foundation.
