Byuravan, Ararat, Armenia
The Traveler continues on past endless vineyards, pondering on this encounter. He's passing the town of Byuravan, Armenia... but Mt Ararat, Turkey is just a few miles up ahead...

So, all across Azerbaijan, conversations started out with "Hi! Where are you from? ... oh, and do you know what horrible things the Armenians did to us?" Now, in Armenia conversations start with "Hi! Where are you from?... oh, and do you know what horrible things the Turks did to us?"

Apparently "let bygones be bygones" is not a popular expression in this part of the world...
