Eastern Turkey 2003 - 1/2

Nagorno Karabagh

Turkey 1/2

I didn' t plan to stay longer in Turkey. I decided to spend some time in Eastern Turkey because I had to leave Iran earlier than I wanted. In this case, my trip to Turkey was little crazy - I even had not any guide about this region ... All information I needed I had to acquire during travelling. It was useful also to have some memories from Turkey from my childhood - 15 years ago I lived in Turkey for more than 2 years.
