Not the old one of the 19th century European courts over the fate of the Ottoman Empire, but my own regarding Armenia in contemporary Turkish conscience.
As I surveyed the winding river below the ruins of Ani, on the other side of which lay Armenia, it struck me that the information posted on the monuments made no mention of Armenia. This place was the capital of Armenia - politically and spiritually. Bagratids (an old Armenian dynasty of the 10th Century were mentioned, and Russia and Georgia, but no reference to today's nation of Armenia.
I will get the other side of the story, when I'm on the other side next week.
Sent from outer space.
