    This is just more proof that in Armenia democracy has very shallow and feeble roots. Any normal country would have got rid of all these Soviet Cold-war-era border restrictions and barriers. They have nothing to do with protecting Armenia's border but every to do with maintaining the Soviet-period ethos of controlling and restricting its own citizens. It also allows the Armenian-Russian crimimals / military officials that "guard" the border to earn fortunes by running smuggling routes across that border.

    On my visit to that part of the border opposite Ani I remember an American Armenian's video camera being grabbed by a Russian thug (or maybe an Armenian thug in Russian uniform) and the tape being ripped out and thrown up in the air as if it were confetti.

    I note that you have no photos of the mafiosi-run quarries. Is this because you were forbidden from taking pictues of them - or were you practice self-censoring and selective viewing?
    Fail post is Fail............... bell you make no sense just like u have no idea of what you are talking about.
