Refused asylum in Armenia, she balks at return to Turkey.
A cow that was beaten by its shepherd in Halimcan village
of Kars province jumped into the Arpaçay River that forms
the border between Turkey and Armenia on 29 June. The
cow was dragged by the current to the Armenian side of the
river, where it was rescued by Armenian soldiers.
Halimcan village is in Kars's Digor district.
Engin Karadağ of Halimcan village applied to the Digor
district chief to get the cow back. On 2 July, district chief
İsa Bolat met with Armenian border officials and after a
protocol was signed, Amenian soldiers brought the cow to
the Arpaçay River bank.
When the animal balked at returning to Turkey, a rope was
thrown across the river and the cow's owner and relatives
entered the water and pulled the cow to the Turkish side.
