A majestic mountain. There’s absolutely no problem with it being a national symbol of Armenia, even if it is in Turkey, since it has a great view from there. In fact, the view from the Armenian side is said to be better than from the Turkish side.

11 years ago, [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Ararat/comments/33v1ve/request_your_favorite_literary_description_of/) on /r/Ararat led me to a realization that we don’t have a day to celebrate our beloved mountain. So I created one. It coincides with the birthday of Hovhannes Shiraz, who was a huge Ararat fan. So much so that he had his heart smuggled into Turkey after his death to be buried on the mountain.

I’ll never get tired of that view.
