Please note: The meeting was held in Yerevan, Armenia, but not in the namesake Ararat hotel: it belatedly became clear that we could not all fit comfortably in their lecture room. A miraculous last-minute change brought us to a different hotel, which was communicated directly to each participant, and from which we were still able to easily visit downtown Yerevan.

Yerevan can be reached with flights from Vienna, Ankara, Moscow, Rome, Jerusalem and many other cities. Land routes from Georgia and Iran are also available. Our confidence in a (second) miracle that would open the Turkish-Armenian border ahead of our meeting was not fulfilled, but we did get to the border, in Khor Virap.
