Strangers, who bravely pass round the thick log and try to reach the gates heralding the borderline, are looked at with suspicion in Margara village.

The Armenian flag can be seen in the border posts; on the other side of the closed gates is the famous bridge of Margara, which runs over the River Arax, ending at the gates this time staunchly announcing the border of Turkey. The Turkish red flag with a crescent is seen from a distance.
