A weekend in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia
Yerevan is the capital of Armenia, a country located in the Caucasus, bordering Georgia, Turkey, Azerbaijan and Iran. It is largest city of Armenia as well as one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities.
In addition to this video, also check out my blog post 10 reasons why I fell in love with Yerevan, Armenia:
In this video, you will see Yerevan's most important sights and tourist attractions, including the following:
Republic Square can be considered the main square of Yerevan. The Government House, the History Museum and the National Gallery, the Marriott Hotel and several other government buildings are located on this huge square. Originally designed by Alexander Tamanyan in 1924, Republic Square is the favorite hangout of the locals. With its unique pink neoclassical buildings and the reflecting pool, Republic Square can easily be considered Yerevan’s architectural highlight. What I found remarkable about this square was the unified architectural style – all buildings share the same pink-ish and yellow-ish neoclassical design.
The Cascade is a staircase that connects Yerevan’s center (Kentron) with the Monument neighborhood. It consists of multiple levels and a total of 572 steps. Apart from its architectural magnificence, the Cascade offers sweeping views of the city and, on clear days, mighty Mount Ararat in the background.
The Cafesjian Center for the Arts is an arts museum located within the Cascade complex. It offers a variety of exhibitions and dozens of modern and contemporary sculptures by well-known international sculptors. The sculptures are scattered around Cascade Park, the green area in the lower section of the Cascade complex.

Yerevan,Erivan:
Yerevan (sometimes spelled Erivan is the capital and largest city of Armenia as well as one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities. Situated along the Hrazdan River, Yerevan is the administrative, cultural, and industrial center of the country. It has been the capital since 1918, the thirteenth in the history of Armenia, and the seventh located in or around the Ararat plain.
The history of Yerevan dates back to the 8th century BC, with the founding of the fortress of Erebuni in 782 BC by king Argishti I at the western extreme of the Ararat plain. Erebuni was designed as a great administrative and religious centre, a fully royal capital. By the late ancient Armenian Kingdom, new capital cities were established and Yerevan declined in importance. Under Iranian and Russian rule, it was the center of the Erivan Khanate from 1736 to 1828 and the Erivan Governorate from 1850 to 1917, respectively. After World War I, Yerevan became the capital of the First Republic of Armenia as thousands of survivors of the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire arrived in the area. The city expanded rapidly during the 20th century as Armenia became part of the Soviet Union. In a few decades, Yerevan was transformed from a provincial town within the Russian Empire to Armenia's principal cultural, artistic, and industrial center, as well as becoming the seat of national government.
With the growth of the economy of the country, Yerevan has been undergoing major transformation as many parts of the city have been the recipient of new construction since the early 2000s, and retail outlets as much as restaurants, shops, and street cafés, which were rare during Soviet times, have multiplied. As of 2011, the population of Yerevan was 1,060,138, just over 35% of the Republic of Armenia's total population. According to the official estimate of 2016, the current population of the city is 1,073,700. Yerevan was named the 2012 World Book Capital by UNESCO. Yerevan is an associate member of Eurocities.
Of the notable landmarks of Yerevan, Erebuni Fortress is considered to be the birthplace of the city, the Katoghike Tsiranavor church is the oldest surviving church of Yerevan and Saint Gregory Cathedral is the largest Armenian cathedral in the world, Tsitsernakaberd is the official memorial to the victims of the Armenian Genocide, and several opera houses, theatres, museums, libraries, and other cultural institutions. Yerevan Opera Theatre is the main spectacle hall of the Armenian capital, the National Gallery of Armenia is the largest art museum in the Republic of Armenia and shares a building with the History Museum of Armenia, and the Matenadaran repository contains one of the largest depositories of ancient books and manuscripts in the world. The neoclassical Republic Square is the center of the city and the monumental Cascade steps lead from the city center to Victory Park, home of a Luna Park and the statue Mother Armenia overlooking Yerevan.Wikipedia

Armenia/Yerevan (Walking Tour-Blue Mosque) Part 8
Welcome to my travelchannel.On my channel you can find almost 1000 films of more than 70 countries.
See the playlist on my youtube channel.Enjoy!
Yerevan Blue Mosque:
The Blue Mosque is an 18th-century Shia mosque in Yerevan, Armenia. During the Soviet era, the mosque stopped its services and housed the History Museum of Yerevan. Following Armenia's independence, the mosque was renovated with the support from the Iranian government and again started acting as a mosque, mostly for Iranians residing in the country. It is currently the only active mosque in Armenia.The Yerevan region had been under the control of various Muslim rulers since the incursions of Timur in the 14th century. From the early 16th century, and decisively with the 1555 Peace of Amasya, until the course of the 19th century, it had intermittently been a province of Iran (ruled successively by the Safavids, Nadir Shah, Karim Khan Zand and the Iranian Qajar Dynasty), before it fell to neighboring Imperial Russia through the Russo-Persian War of 1826-1828 and the resulting Treaty of Turkmenchay of 1828.
The building was the main congregational mosque for the city. When Yerevan was captured by Russia in 1827 during the 1826-1828 Russo-Persian War it was, according to the cataster drawn up by the Russians, the largest of its eight functioning mosques. The building consisted of the main prayer hall, a library, and a madrasa with 28 cells, all organised around a courtyard, with the overall complex occupying 7,000 square metres of land. There is a single minaret at the main portal, in keeping with contemporaneous mosques, and there is no evidence that there were more
minarets. Due to the secularist policies of the Soviet government, religious services at the Blue Mosque were stopped and in 1931 it was used to house the Museum of the City of Yerevan In the latter half of the 1990s the mosque underwent a total restoration, funded by Iran, that was completed in 1999. United States Department of State employee and foreign service officer Brady Kiesling referred to the restoration as structurally necessary but aesthetically ambiguous. The restoration raised concerns among some officials in the Republic of Azerbaijan as the mosque was presented as an Iranian mosque, which in Azerbaijan is claimed as belonging to the heritage of the once large Azerbaijani community of Armenia. Islamic religious services have now resumed within the Blue Mosque, which is the only operating mosque in Armenia. The Museum of the City of Yerevan is now housed in a purpose-built building on another site.
The mosque's ownership was given to Iran in 1995 by the Yerevan city authorities. In December 2015 the Armenian government made a decision to extend Iranian ownership of the mosque for 99 years.

Trying ARMENIAN LAVASH for the FIRST TIME + Visiting the Matendaran | Yerevan, Armenia
After arriving in Yerevan, Armenia in the wee hours of the morning, I woke up bright and early to begin my 10-day adventure through the country with Armenia Travel. Come along with me as I try Armenian lavash for the first time and visit the Matendaran Museum in Yerevan!
FEATURED:
Armenia Travel:
I met up with my guide, Gayane from Armenia Travel, and rode through Yerevan. It’s one of the oldest cities in the world at 2,800 years old. The area has been continuously inhabited for 8,000 years!
The Matendaran is a huge museum that houses over 17,000 manuscripts. Inside, I met my museum guide, Nadia. Only 1% of the manuscripts are available to be viewed by the public. I learned that the Armenian alphabet was created in the year 405. The alphabet didn’t have numbers until the 16th century. They used letters as numbers.
There were several ancient, beautiful manuscripts, including some made of parchment. There was even a petrified manuscript, as well as the largest and smallest manuscripts in the country.
I also saw the first printed Armenian book from 1512 and the first printed Bible from 1666. They started coloring the manuscripts around the 8th centuries and the dyes were made from all kinds of materials!
I also saw an impressive ivory book from the 6th century. There are only 3 of them in the world. There was also a book with gold and silver binding, a manuscript of criminal law, a huge silver Bible, and more! You can also see restored manuscripts.
You can see how they made the dyes for the books in another hall. Most of the silver books were New Testaments.
Then, it was time to eat lunch at Restaurant Lavash, which focuses on traditional Armenian cuisine. Lavash is an Armenian flatbread. I loved the setting. Next to our table, I could watch the women in the kitchen make the bread and bake it in a tandoor.
I started with some delicious homemade pomegranate wine. I’d never had it before. It was the house wine and was so good! I was in love with it!
Then, I had some lavash, puri (Georgian bread), walnut paste, and Greek salad with walnuts, olives, and tomatoes. Then, there was also an Asian salad. The Greek salad had some delicious, string-cheese-style feta cheese and I loved the crunch from the walnuts.
The walnut paste was almost like a walnut hummus and came with cucumbers and tomatoes. You eat it with the puri. It was full of walnut flavor that comes out later and had a nice texture mixed with the oil. I loved the super thin lavash with the walnut paste. It was thin like a crepe and is actually a UNESCO dish!
The Asian salad had eggplant, carrots, tomatoes, herbs, bacon, mushrooms, and a nice glaze. The salad was so refreshing and crunchy! The combination gave it a nice Caspian vibe!
Next, I tried kufta, a beef and tomato dish that almost looks like eggs. It’s fresh, buttery ground beef with an egg-like taste. After that was Armenian a grainy porridge with nice mushrooms. Next was pumpkin stuffed with beef, beans, and vegetables. The beef was like a beef stew while the pumpkin was a little hard and dense. It was super unique!
I followed that with a delicious, semi-sweet red wine made from pomegranate. I could feel the alcohol in it!
For dessert, I had gata, which was part of the biggest gata in the world! There was also a huge, layered Armenian dessert called milfoy.
The gata is stuffed with dried fruit and has lots of layers of dough. The top is crunchy, while the inside is very creamy. It’s a delicious, layered cake that reminded me of Greek baked dishes.
I hope you enjoyed visiting the Matendaran and trying Armenian lavash for the first time with me in Yerevan! If you did, please give this video a thumbs up and leave a comment. Also, please subscribe to my YouTube channel so you don’t miss any of my upcoming travel/food adventures!

The Matenadaran museum (Մատենադարան) in Yerevan, Armenia
Subtitles in English - Στα Ελληνικά αφήγηση και υπότιτλοι
The Matenadaran - officially the Mesrop Mashtots Institute of Ancient Manuscripts - is a museum, repository of manuscripts, and a research institute. Currently, the Matenadaran contains a total of some 23,000 manuscripts and scrolls—including fragments. The manuscripts cover a wide array of subjects: religious and theological works, texts on history, mathematics, geography, astronomy, cosmology, philosophy, jurisprudence, medicine, alchemy, astrology, music, grammar, rhetoric, philology, pedagogy, collections of poetry, literary texts, and translations from Greek and Syriac. Thousands of Armenian manuscripts were destroyed during the genocide in the Ottoman Empire. The writings of classical and medieval historians Movses Khorenatsi, Yeghishe and Koryun are preserved here, as are the legal, philosophical and theological writings of other notable Armenian figures. The preserved writings of Grigor Narekatsi and Nerses Shnorhali at the Matenadaran form the cornerstone of medieval Armenian literature. (From Wikipedia)

Genocide-centenary Exhibition at Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute
(Armenian-language video. For the English version, visit
Following two and half years of renovations, the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute, in Yerevan’s Tsitsernakaberd Memorial Complex, reopened on April 24, 2015, with a large-scale exhibition dedicated to the centenary of the Armenian Genocide.
The renovated museum features 12 new galleries and never-before-seen artifacts. Photos of 1915’s death marches and the new eyewitness exhibition are juxtaposed with images of Armenian intellectuals who were massacred during the Genocide. In addition to photos of eyewitnesses who survived the carnage, the exhibition includes some of their personal belongings, such as a bullet that was extracted from the chest of a survivor called Haykanush, who was shot by a Turkish soldier.
The museum’s thousands of visitors include travelers from abroad. One American couple has donated to the museum a tiny glass bottle filled with grains of rice, bought from an antique shop. In the aftermath of the Genocide, such bottles, each containing a daily ration for 750 children, were sent by Americans as donations to Near East Relief for feeding Armenian orphans.
The new exhibition features state-of-the-art technologies and display systems. They include audio guides in seven languages, separate galleries for viewing eyewitness stories, and touch screens on which visitors can explore Genocide photos and articles published by the international press.
Today the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute is two and half times its original size, featuring a considerably expanded collection of eyewitness testimonies, documents, and artifacts.
