From Tehran to Tabriz, and from there to the Turkish border - PHOTO REPORTAGE

After spending five days on assignment in the Iranian capital, the staff of the U.S. “Associated Press” agency prepared a photo report based on the photos they took along the way after leaving the country.

Medianews.az reports that the journalists left Iran by land - by car. They set off from Tehran, passed through Tabriz and other cities, and after traveling for 12 hours, they reached the Turkish border.

The photo report reflects scenes visible through the car window throughout the trip: shepherds, sheep and lambs, passing trucks, a man making cotton candy in Tabriz, bakers baking bread in other settlements, people selling fruit, food, hot drinks, a woman cleaning the corridor of a quiet hotel near Golshahr—in short, various moments of ordinary daily life...
