yes but you should stress that these are exceptions
you cannot just say yaşlı/genç for any object
it does NOT fit to many things
yaşlı bir elbise giymişsin!
evlerindeki genç halılar çok güzeldi!
by the way what is genç dağlar?
What I said was "There is no strict rule saying "genç/yaşlı" is used for persons only"
It was an answer to the question in the first post.
It seems you didn´t bother reading the opening post of the thread:
When describing things or people that are old, is yaşlı used only for people and eski only for things? What is the difference between yaşlı and eski?
Thanks in advance
It is clear that you didn´t even bother reading the following posts:
I think thats correct 
...
You are correct.
Yaşlı is used only with people (or things that are alive, like animals)
Eski is used only with objects (on non-living things)
As for ´genç dağlar´:
Old fold mountains are characterized by having stopped growing higher due to the cessation of upward thrust caused by the stopping of movement of the tectonic plates in the Earth´s crust below them. In ancient times they were extremely high but since have worn down almost completely by millions of years of weathering. In stark contrast Himalayas are continuously rising young fold mountains of today.

The growth process is still going on. On a geological timescale the Alps are a young mountain range, still developing: the Alps gain about one millimetre (0.04 ") in height every year. One can recognize a young mountain range by its high and roughly shaped tops.

You don´t have to thank me for this. It makes me happy to teach someone and it is cool when they learn something.
