Kars is a city in northeast Turkey. It is the seat of Kars Province and Kars District. As of 2022, its population was 91,450. Kars, in classical historiography (Strabo), was in the ancient region known as Chorzene, part of the province of Ayrarat in the Kingdom of Armenia, and later the capital of the Bagratid Kingdom of Armenia from 929 to 961. Currently, the mayor of Kars is Ötüken Senger. The city had an Armenian ethnic majority until it was recaptured by Turkish nationalist forces in late 1920.
Distance-wise, Kars is closest to Dubai (~2,051 km), London (~3,489 km), Singapore (~7,480 km); Sydney is the far end at roughly 13,785 km. That ordering matters more than the timezone label for travel planning.
