Egypt, Armenia Flags Waved Atop Mount Ararat

Egypt – July 1 2023

A group of “Egyptian-Armenian youth” succeeded in reaching summit of Mount Ararat (5165 meters) and raising the flags of Armenia and Egypt.

Mount Ararat is particularly popular with the mountaineering crowd and explorers, as it was believed to be Noah’s Ark after the flood.

Mount Ararat is a complex, dormant volcanic mountain consisting of two ancient volcanic peaks, located in eastern Turkey (occupied Western Armenia) near the Armenian border.

For thousands of years, Armenians have used Mount Ararat as a symbol of their national and cultural identity.

Mount Ararat appears frequently in modern material culture; On T-shirts, posters and even wood carvings and necklaces, it adorns Armenian currency, stamps and coats of arms since 1918. It is also found on the official emblem of the Republic of Armenia.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
