The Bridge, 10th century Armenian Church of the Holy Apostlesand Minaret at Kars, Turkey. Originally an Armenian capital.

The Russians returned the city ot the Ottomans in return for a new border with Russia which lay far closer to Kars than had previously. Stromed again by the Russians during the Russo-Turkish War (1877-8). Up to 1881 more than 82, 000 Muslims migrated back to the Ottoman Empire of which 11, 000 left from Kars. Russia ceded Kars, Ardahan, and Batum to Ottoman Empire by treaty in 1918, however the city was under the effective control of Armenian and non-Bolshevik Russian forces. After a lot of fighting and argument, in 1919 Kars came under the full administration of the Armenian Republic. Finally captured by Turkish troops on October 30th 1920. The Russians kept on wanting to re-negotiate and bickering continued up to the 1990s. The famous Armenian archaeological site of Ani is close by. Date: circa 1907

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1907, depicts the historic cityscape of Kars, Turkey, featuring the iconic bridge, 10th century Armenian Church of the Holy Apostles, and a minaret. Kars was once the capital of the Armenian Kingdom, but its rich history has been shaped by the hands of various empires. In 1534, it became part of the Ottoman Empire, only to be surrendered in 1828 to the Russian General Count Ivan Paskevich. The city was then returned to the Ottomans in exchange for a new border with Russia, which was closer to Kars than before. During the Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878), more than 82,000 Muslims migrated back to the Ottoman Empire, with 11,000 leaving from Kars alone. The city was ceded back to the Ottoman Empire by treaty in 1918, but it was effectively controlled by Armenian and non-Bolshevik Russian forces. In 1919, Kars came under the full administration of the Armenian Republic. However, the city was eventually captured by Turkish troops on October 30th, 1920. Despite the tumultuous history, Kars remains an important cultural and historical site. The famous Armenian archaeological site of Ani, which is home to numerous ancient ruins and architectural marvels, is located nearby. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique blend of architectural styles and the enduring resilience of the people of Kars.
