However, what stuck in my mind the most were the last few steps to the top of Mount Ararat. Some members of the group were moving faster than the main group, allowing them to reach the top first. Someone was behind, and I found myself walking right in the middle, humming a song. There were some people from different groups on the top of Mount Ararat then. We were hugging those strangers as if they were our long-lost friends. I deeply regret not having a professional film camera at that moment; we could have created a wonderful short film from the footage of our ten-minute experience. Approaching the top, I could already distinguish the faces of my friends Arthur, Dalar and Mariam. They were smiling and looking at me and chatting with each other. Although I couldn&#8217;t hear their voices from such a distance, I might say they looked very cute. I was very happy and proud of myself when I finally joined my friends on the very top of Mount Ararat.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\"
