Ağrı is a pleasant town in a very dusty province.

İshak Paşa Sarayı near Doğubeyazıt is an amazing sight.

Doğubeyazıt had a Kurdish general strike in 1992. There was nowhere to buy food. Oddly, alcohol was freely available. Eventually, an enterprising person ushered me into an underground chamber where he fed me the most welcome kebab I have ever had.
