    Extractions: History of Armenia Yerevan Written By Gevork Nazaryan This is a great web site to inform Armenians in the diaspora about their homeland!!! Everyone should be able to see Yerevan in person, but until that day, this web site is the closest to the real thing. - Adrineh Gregorian - erevan - Capital of Republic of Armenia, an old and at the same time always young city whose roots go back to pre-historic and ancient times. The official establishment of the great city of Yerevan took place under the reigning of the mighty king of Ararat - Argishti the First in the year 782 BC. Thus the establishment of the City-Fortress of Erebuni predates that of the "Eternal" City of Rome by more than two decades. erevan is situated in the beautiful and scenic Araratian Valley, on the banks of the Hrazdan River. Yerevan is located in the heart of Greater Armenia. Yerevan throughout history has been an important center of Armenian culture and civilization for nearly 3,000 years. We hope that you will catch a glimpse of Yerevan and have a better understanding of our illustrious city of Yerevan, the heart of the Armenian Nation. lthough you will learn a great deal about the glorious path of Yerevan and Armenia over the attenuated millenniums through the Yerevan pages of the Armenian Enlightenment Chronicle, you will not get the actual and virtual sense and feeling of all of the folklore and folkways of the utmost generous hospitality, warmth and the sincere kind heartfelt sentiment of the Yerevanians. We hope that our introduction to Yerevan will be a prelude and a motivation for you to personally see and explore the richness of the Armenian history, culture, tradition and heritage. Our goal is that this will hopefully serve as a motivation for you to visit and see the renowned places of the ancient city of Yerevan for yourself. We truly urge you to personally visit and see the creative genius, the pride, and the true accumulated cultural wealth and magnificence of the Armenian Nation so greatly embodied, reflected and represented by the grandeur of Yerevan.

    Extractions: by Raffi Kojian Raffi Kojian has been living in Armenia for over a year and a half. He says, "It is a really great place for any expat who is not scared off by winters similar to Boston, although areas of a lower elevation do not get so cold. The cost of living is incredibly low, and the world class philharmonic, dance groups, and other cultural events are virtually free. The people are super nice; the real estate laws are quite accommodating and prices quite remarkable. It is very crime free and a very interesting region for short and cheap trips to other parts of the region. You get the picture. I think it is an especially good option for people interested in urban retirement, for super cheap." Additional Resources Embassy Near You Overview Although Armenia probably does not cross the mind of the average American very often, those considering retirement or life abroad would do well to consider all it has to offer. With an incredibly low cost of living, a variety of climates, choice of city or country life, many sites to visit, virtually zero crime and one of the world's most hospitable people, it has much to offer anyone. As part of the Soviet Union, Armenia was one of the most prosperous and advanced parts of the entire communist world. Now with independence and a depressed economy, it offers a chance to live in a Western city for very little money.

    Extractions: Historically Karabagh was the northeastern province of Armenia. The spread of similar forms of economic activity, customs, traditions, religious beliefs, and the same kind of mentality of inhabitants of the entire Armenian plateau brought about the reality that Nagorno Karabagh (Artsakh) along with other regions of Armenia constitutes a single entity in the cultural, economic, and linguistic sense. Numerous archeological facts of the eneolite, bronze and iron ages prove that the culture of Nagorno Karabagh is in fact a branch of a single Armenian culture and a great deal of parallels could be drawn with the monuments of the Armenian Plateau of the same period. Below is the description of cultural monuments, which still exist on the territory of the Artsakh Principality. th century AD, which is the time when Christianity was adopted as Armenian state religion.) There are also monuments of prehistoric age, which are mainly prehistoric campsites, ruins of ancient Armenian settlements, a part of which belong to the Ararat Kingdom (Urartu) and Armenian Kingdom of Ervanids period, sepulchers, cult statuettes of early Armenian epoch, carved stones from Armenian Artashesids dynasty, capitols, various home utensils and coins. Thus, in ancient times (1 st millennium BC) the summer residence of Ararat King Rus I was found on the territory of what is today Istisu village. The largest and the most renowned settlement of pre-Christian period on the territory of Artsakh is the city of Tigranakert, which was founded by the Armenian King Tigran II in the 90-ies BC. Interestingly enough, this was the first out of four cities founded later by Tigran II in the different parts of the Armenian plateau and baring his name. The ruins of that settlement were found on the territory of the present Agdam region near the border of the Nagorno Karabagh Republic.

52. Armenian Club Provides Cultural Discovery For Student
    And so I continue to learn. Being part of an Armenian students club helps preserveArmenian culture for the future, as it might be in danger abroad.  
    http://the-tech.mit.edu/V114/N23/armenia.23l.html
    
    Extractions: About a year ago, I was waiting for the Massachusetts Avenue bus one day with a friend. In the process of updating each other on our respective lives, I told him that I decided to join the Armenian Students' Club at MIT. At this my friend gave me a confused look and asked me, "Why does there need to be an Armenian students' club? What do you have to talk about?" I guess that the answer to this question is not obvious to most people. Most of my friends in college know of Armenia as a small country, if they have heard of it at all, with a forgotten history. Many people do not even know that Armenia has its own language, or that it was the first country in the world to adopt Christianity as its state religion. And I myself cared little about joining an Armenian club when I first came to MIT, as my most distinct memory of Armenian Sunday school was of being derided for being the only person to attend a private school. I had heard all the horrors of escaping from the 1915 Massacre in Turkey, a genocide in which over one-and-a-half million Armenians were killed, from my grandparents. However, my youthful ignorance, coupled with a language barrier barred me from learning more from them. Furthermore, in certain situations, I had trouble reconciling myself as an American with my more traditional Armenian upbringing. In my experience, I had found Armenians to be provincial and extremely closely knit. Many Armenian parents that I knew at home, themselves raised in a protective environment, mandated that their children stay close to home for college and had strict control over their children's lives. This has been a problem for me, as I went far from home for college and enjoy the choices that American life provides. Hence, confirming my Armenian identity was about the last thing I wanted to do in college.

The current education network has been established during the short existence of the first Republic in Armenia in (1918 - 1920). It has further developed during the years of Soviet Power (1920-1990).

    Extractions: Both mountains make the massive Ararat, which is a vast area of thousands of square kilometers. The volcanic cone of the Big Ararat is crowned with snow and 30 glaciers. The snow border starts at the height of 4250m. Since olden times the vast territory of the Armenian Highland was inhabited by many nations, Armenians among them. Being one of the ancient nations in the world Armenians emerged long before modern European nations came into being, and the antique nations - Romans and Hellenes- were just forming. Modern Armenia is often called a land of rocks. But it is also a wonderland where the man squeezes water out of stones. Amber veins, purple peach trees, the golden wealth of orchards - this abundance of fruits, greens and vegetables constitute a anthem to the Sun, labor and people. In Armenia you will live in the past and present at the same time. Signatures of millennia past cover the landscape. Pagan sanctuaries still stand among the ancient Christian temples and the powerful creations of medieval architects. Walk outside your lodging, ride or walk through our towns, villages and countryside and you will always be in Armenia's 'museum under the open sky.' You will also be traveling in one of the most diversified ecosystems in the world. Five of the seven primary topographies exist in our small country of some 30,000 square kilometers. You will experience a remarkable range of flora and fauna. With snow capped mountains only a few hours drive from subtropical valleys, in the changes in altitude and local climates, you can experience seven springs in one visit.
