My decision
I thought about the situation Mehmet told about and drove to Erzurum where I had to decide the route. I asked the local police and he said it's OK to drive to the border to Gümrük. He said, if it's needed there will be police escort and that there are already many policemen around. So was by the way also in Erzurum, the city was full of police. I asked also a couple of other people whether they thought it would be risky to take that route but they said that tourists have no problems going there.
Anyway, I realised that EU citizens do not need visa to enter Georgia or Armenia and I thought why not go and see those countries. So tomorrow I'll be going to Georgia and Armenia. I know Armenia is a corrupt country but hope that I manage somehow.
