What were those people doing at the Armenian border that was insensitive? I couldn't figure it out. Much of the audio was drowned out by noise.

@unclejuniorsoprano They were wearing shorts. Shorts are a big cultural no-no in this very traditional, Muslim area. Sorry about the audio and thanks for taking your time to watch and comment. Best regards, Travels With Sheila

@travelswithsheila Thanks for explaining. What might have happened to them? Could they have been arrested by the religious police? My wife worked in Dubai for about 3 yrs. She said that there are cameras everywhere & that everyone's fingerprints & retina prints are kept in a vast database system, so it's next to impossible to get away with anything. If you owe money & try to leave, they get you at the airport. She saw people arrested for drinking water in public during Ramadan. Pretty scary!

@unclejuniorsoprano I don't think Turkey has a religious police, per se, but it's just rude to offend people. Dubai doesn't sound like much fun!

[unclejuniorsoprano]

@travelswithsheila Dubai is probably the most tolerant of all Islamic states. Donald Trump has a big hotel there & Dubai has one of the worlds busiest airports. But when you live there, you see things that visitors don't generally notice. I would be afraid to be going around Iran filming with a camera. 3 Americans ventured across the Iranian border w/out a visa & ended up charged with spying & had to pay $1 million each for bail after about 3 years. You never know what you might be doing wrong.

i enjoyed this video. I was in Turkey and had a strong desire to go to far east. I was so impressed with the culture. I also enjoyed the commentary on this video. Good job!

@MrNighthawkcharlie Thanks for your very nice comments. Really, really enjoyed Turkey. Best regards, Travels With Sheila

[yklocnykl]

this is eastern anatolian region

ashtarak40 dont forget it.

@yklocnykl Again... "Eastern Anatolia" is an artificial geographical term invented by the Turkish Republic. "Anatolia" does not extend into the highlands of the eastern part of Turkey (formerly Western Armenia).

[pilisopa]

If I may note something, the areas which you traveled in this video are actually not part of the Anatolian Peninsula. Anatolia is a term misconstrued by Turkey to mean anything within its possession east of Istanbul. In reality, the areas to the furthest east are not part of the peninsula but are rather what is historically termed the "Armenian Highlands" or "Armenian Plateau".
