Kars residents raise Turkish flag near border with Armenia 20-year dream

Residents of İncedere village in the Akyaka district of Türkiye’s Kars Province have realised a decades-long dream by raising the Turkish national flag atop Mount KaraKuzu, standing at 2,500 meters near the border with Armenia, Caliber.Az reports, citing İhlas Haber Ajansı (IHA).

A 15-metre flagpole with a pulley system, a 6-metre flag, and the necessary materials were transported to the summit, where the flagpole was installed for the first time. A lighting system was later added, ensuring the flag remains visible at night, including from Armenian territory.

“We have fulfilled our 20-year dream by placing the flag on KaraKuzu. It is an honor for us and an example for our children,” said Baldji, one of the villagers.
