Abundant rains this year have ensured adequate grazing along the road.
Ira ^ ian Julfa consists of nothing but the railway station and
sidings end a row of ramshackle little shops. The valley of the
Aras river here is wide, shallow and open, giving a good view of the
hussian side where the land, bare and uncultivated, slopes ur to the
