Buenos dias, amigos de la frontera...!
A friend of mine recently visited the
Kaukasus area - quite an unstable
region
with a lot of occasional fighting going on
-
but most interesting, too ! His report made
me dream about visiting this area
soon...
- yes, I will definetely remember my
bullit
proof jacket - ...
I bought a map over the region that clearly
shows most of the enclaves/exclaves
mentioned
by Rolf in his "Encl. of the World -
list.
The Armenian excl. of
Artvashen is clearly
visible N of Lake Sevan a few miles N of
the
border Armenia-Azerb.
TheAzerbajdjani territory of
Nakhichevan
(Rolf's Naxcivan) is cut off from
Azerb. proper
by Armenia and the small excl. of
Karki/Kyarki
can be spotted just NW of the border with
Armenia.
Another Az. exclave Yuxari/Yukari
can be seen
W of the Az/Arm border near the letter "K" N
of
highway M24. The last Az. exclave
Azatamut
is very close to the Arm/Az. border on the
same
highway, but not encircled by the usual
green
boundary strip - must be because the map
is
scale 1:1.000.000 !
Anyone interested in a trip to this
area...?!?
Enjoy and
all the best
Peter
