Yes, i know one, you can see it at http://www.home.pages.at/maxifant/Frames/nachitschewan.jpg
it shows the exklave of nachitschewan and the enclave of karki.
compare this with http://www.home.pages.at/maxifant/Frames/armenia.gif
 
so if i counted right, there are three tripoints, although they are not shown.
