Darband

[Persepolis]

Hello Armenian friends. I remember an Armenian friend of mine telling me that Darband (in Tehran's north) and the Alborz Mountains near there and Tochal reminded him of the Qafqaz Mountains (Caucasus) in Armenia. Have any of you Tehrani Armenians felt that way? Does the landscape look very similar? Since I have never been to Armenia I cannot tell, but I have been to Armenia's neighbor Georgia, and I did see some similarities. On a funny note I was watching an episode of the original Star Trek series the other night , and the fictional planet was a place with tall, dry mountains which reminded me of Darband!
