TURKS, ARMENIANS CLIMB ARMENIA’S HIGHEST MOUNTAIN
YEREVAN, JUNE 8, ARMENPRESS: Armenia’s highest mountain Aragats, that was
encircled by thousands of Armenians on May 28 for a circle dance, will
witness today un unprecedented Turkish-Armenian endeavor when seven
Armenian, four Turkish and one Iranian alpinists will reach its summit.
The ascend of Turkish climbers was allowed by Turkish foreign ministry
and Turkey’s federation of alpinists, which however, have rejected many
requests of Armenian climbers seeking permission to ascend the Mount Ararat.
Mount Aragats is 4,090 meters above the sea level and is the fourth highest
mountain on the Armenian Plateau.
