circles to the mountain of Ararat (formally named in Turkey as
Agry Dag) and hoisting of the Armenian flag on its top exasperated

counteraction the administration of the Turkish Prime Minister, the
Ministry of Culture of Tourism and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the
General Staff of the Armed Forces and the Federation of Mountaineers
have signed a protocol urging foreign mountaineers to receive a
special permission for climbing Ararat. According to the protocol,

to people having no connection with sports. The document also limits
conduction of foreign scientific investigations on the mountain. It
should be noted that these rules do not refer to Turkish citizens,
