Armenian Karin/Erzerum

Detailed Description Edited by Richard G. Hovannisian Ричард Ованнисян

The fourth in the UCLA Conference Series of Armenian studies, titled Historic Armenian Cities and Provinces, this book contains essays dealing with the region of Karin/Erzerum

The fortress city of Karin, later called Erzerum, was at the strategic center of the region known as Upper Armenia and of the broarder area of Greater Armenia itself. The site of countless battles through the centuries, as people tried to gain control of this highland, this area is the key to dominating the entire Armenian Plateau.

From the four gates of the once-walled city, roads radiated in all directions, taking merchants, travelers, and soldiers to and from Iran, the Caucasus, the Black Sea ports, and the interior neighboring cities and provinces. This to Armenians was called the Bosom of the World.
