Freedom Square in Yerevan, Armenia
Freedom (or Theatrical) Square is part of The Opera. North side of the square is the Opera House, followed by a park full of open air cafés on the West, from South it borders the Northern Avenue, and on the East the square slowly transforms into park with Swan Lake. The Swan Lake park ends with the controversial statue of the composer Arno Babajanyan, which already was majorly reshaped twice during the first year of its placement. The Swan Lake park usually hosts various open air art exhibitions.

Raffi Hovannisian, Freedom Square, Yerevan- Armenia. 2013. By: Joseph Zakarian
Raffi Hovannisian, who officially finished second in last month's presidential ballot and is now disputing the reelection of President Serzh Sargsyan, has gone on a hunger strike, calling on the incumbent to resign before April 9 -- the official Inauguration Day.
Addressing supporters who gathered in Yerevan's Liberty Square for another rally on Sunday, the opposition leader vowed to secure a victory for the people even at the cost of his life.
If on April 9 he [Serzh Sargsyan] gives a pseudo-oath on the Constitution and the Holy Bible and the Supreme Patriarch blesses it and thus defiles the Bible, they will do it on my dead body, stressed Hovannisian, who already conducted a 15-day hunger strike two years ago.
This is not a hunger strike, but a boycott of lies and fraud, stated the 53-year-old U.S.-born politician before starting his fast in the square.
In any case you will be celebrating your victory and a new Armenia on April 9, said Hovannisian, addressing hundreds of his supporters in the venue.
Sargsyan, who was certified as winner of the February 18 presidential election with his official tally of about 59 percent (as opposed to Hovannisian's nearly 37 percent of the vote) received Hovannisian in his presidential office last month.
The opposition leader afterwards said, however, that all of his demands, including a repeat election, a runoff or snap elections of the National Assembly held under an all-party list system, had been rejected by the current head of state.
Hovannisian has since been holding rallies in the capital and provincial towns of Armenia, claiming that he has been robbed of an election victory and demanding that he be recognized as legitimate president.
He said the next big rally in Yerevan's Liberty Square will be held next Friday.
Before that, on Monday, the Constitutional Court is due to start considering Hovannisian's lawsuit demanding the annulment of the election results and recognition of his victory

13 Places in Yerevan, Armenia You Should Visit!
By [ Gregori Saghyan
1. Republic Square and National Gallery and Armenia History Museum
Here in Armenia, Republic Square is considered to be one of 10 most beautiful squares of the world. Well, unfortunately, I couldn't find the source but I totally agree with the statement. Republic Square is really thrilling. It was constructed from 1924 to 1929. Its architect is a genial Armenian architect - A. Tamanyan who also designed Yerevan in general. The square is surrounded by The National Gallery and The History Museum, The Ministry of Territorial Administration of Armenia, The Government House, The Central Post-Office of Armenia,
2. Matenadaran
One can think that Matenadaran - The Ancient Manuscripts Museum could be a boring place. However, it is just the first and false impression. I am only 22 years old and I can tell that Matenadaran was awesome. Every single book, every single page of the books covers a very interesting story. I will bring just one example. The heaviest book in Matenadaran was around 34 kg. During Armenian Genocide it was carried out from Turkey by two sisters. They cut the book into 2 pieces - 17 kg each and tied to their bodies. One of them died during their escape from Turkey and her piece was lost.
3. Opera House
Opera House is the other great building by the genial A. Tamanyan. Located in the heart of Yerevan, it is indeed a piece of art from outside and of course it is magnificent inside. It would be enough to say that it is one of few Opera Theatres in the world that were able to perform Aida of Giuseppe Verdi but one should also know that Opera House has held concerts of such artists as Charles Aznavour,
4. Tsitsernakaberd and Genocide Museum
Tsitsernakaberd is the place where Armenians gather to remember the victims of the Armenian Genocide. Every April 24 people from Yerevan, other regions of Armenia and even a lot of Diaspora representatives walk to the eternal fire and put flowers in memory of the millions of people died during the tragedy.
5. Arin Berd or Erebuni Fortress
This is where Yerevan and modern Armenia begin. Being founded in 8th century BC and surviving to our times it is one of the oldest fortresses in the world. And it makes Yerevan one of the oldest cities of the world. Arin Berd in translation from Armenian means Fortress of Blood though it's not so scary. Indeed, this fortress is of a great historical value. So if you are interested in archeology or history, this is the place that you cannot miss!
6. Cascade and Cafesjian Museum
Cascade is my personal favorite. I go there with my friends to drink a cup of coffee and with my girlfriend to walk there. Cascade is just a masterpiece in term of architecture. From the top of cascade you can see the most beautiful panorama of Yerevan and Ararat if you are lucky enough because mostly Ararat is covered with clouds and is invisible.
7. Ararat Brandy Factory
Ararat is a symbol of Armenia but so is Ararat Brandy Factory. Any Brandy lover should know that after France the best Brandy in the world is produced in Armenia, but some even prefer Armenian Brandy to French. Ararat Brandy Factory is an old school top quality brandy maker - indeed the best one in Armenia.
8. Northern Avenue
Constructed in 2007 Northern Avenue became another beloved place for Yerevan walkers. Northern Avenue was included in Tamanyan's Yerevan city plan but he wasn't able to construct it.
It connects the 2 Yerevan Famous Squares - The Republic Square and the Freedom Square (where Opera House is located).
9. Museum of Parajyanov
Until now there are a lot of cinemaddicts that still remember the great Armenian movie director Parajyanov as he is one of the world-renowned geniuses in that sphere... Some greatest directors such as Fellini, Tarkovsky, Vigo, Antonioni, Godard and many others knew and respected Parajyanov as mastermind of his genre.
10. Museum of Saryan
Well, everybody who explores the world of art, the world of drawings should know Martiros Saryan as he is indeed a great painter. He is famous all over the world because of his ability to show the power of the colors. His paintings are very colorful and very beautiful... It is too hard to transfer that beauty by words.
