Ardahan, which was previously the town of the province of Kars, 101 kilometers northeast, is a new province (in 1992) of Turkey in the Eastern Anatolian Region. It stands on a high mountain plateau and 70% of the population lives on the countryside, so agriculture is the main economy in Ardahan. Carpet and Kilim weaving holds an important place amongst young girls here. There are many small rivers and lakes around the city; Cildir lake for instance is the second biggest in the whole region, at an altitude of 1,959 meters above the sea level.
