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.
