  1. This town had a very interesting political situation (Ruled independent by 4 Armenian princes up until second half of 19th c), cool local costume, customs, crafts. The guns produced by the Armenians here (Zeytun Adjari) were some of the best in the entire region.

    I hope someday somebody can open up a small scale reconstruction of this town in Armenia as kind of a museum exhibit on the local culture.
