Hürriyet Daily News of Turkey posted a photo series depicting snow-covered Ani.

The photo series, entitled “Ancient Armenian city of Ani under snow blanket,” also note as follows: 

“Ani was once the capital of a medieval Armenian kingdom that covered much of present-day Armenia and eastern Turkey. Ani is protected on its eastern side by a ravine formed by the Akhurian River and on its western side by the Bostanlar or Tzaghkotzadzor valley. The Akhurian is a branch of the Aras River and forms part of the current border between Turkey and Armenia.”
