This is an aerial of the Fortress.  Jemal put me on his shoulders to take this picture.


Like to climb a rock, this is the place.


A sad picture.  The rubble you see is of the old city of Kharpert below the Fortress.
Each pile of rocks was a home.


The remains of the Armenian Church, Surp Garabed


Me, at least I used the right finger.
