Kars has many buildings in a style that to my eyes is different to the one I see elsewhere in the country. I have seen similar buildings in Edirne at the other side of the country. They are often painted in wonderful colours and I hope they will not perish in the "lets go modern" craze.

I have been informed about half of the houses in this series are in Greek style. That leaves me with the question: what is the style of the other half? And: Might there not be an international style at the time the houses were built? So that both Russians and others might build similarly.
