I like how cultures can be similar without being connected directly to me this is no different than being in a pub in Ireland listening to songs being performed which are hundreds and hundreds of years old

Kars is an Armenian city, built by the Armenians as a capital. Has nothing to do with either Greeks or Turks for that matter.
