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
New Church Being Constructed in the Arabkir District of Yerevan.
A new church being built in Arabkir, a central district of Yerevan, is being welcomed with great enthusiasm by local residents. For decades, the district, with a 90,000 population did not have a place of worship. It will be the second largest church in the capitol city. Several organizations, a women's health center and a Youth Association, are already operating in the area, and their activities will be greatly improved with the building of the new church.
The new church in Arabkir is being built through the generous support of Armenian-American philanthropist Louise Manoogian-Simone. Click here to view a video of the construction process.

La chiesa di Santa Ripsima è una chiesa di Echmiadzin, in Armenia. Fu costruita attorno al 618 per volere del catholicos d'Armenia Gomidas sul sito in cui sorgeva il mausoleo contenente le reliquie di santa Ripsima, fatto costruire nel 395 da Isacco il Grande. Il nome della chiesa si deve a Ripsima, o Hripsime, una suora romana martirizzata con altre vergini (tra cui Gaiana) nel IV secolo per ordine del re armeno Tiridate III. Nel 2000 la chiesa è stata inclusa nella lista dei patrimoni dell'umanità UNESCO insieme alla cattedrale di Echmiadzin, al sito archeologico di Zvartnots ed alle chiese di Santa Gaiana e di Shoghakat.

A stroll through Ani Cathedral Մայր Աստվածածին
A very moving prayer service being delivered by Armenians in the Mother Cathedral in the medieval Armenian city of Ani, now found in the Republic of Turkey.
Ani is perhaps the most prominent Armenian city from medieval times. Though its history goes back to the period of antiquity, it reached its zenith only in the tenth century AD, when the Armenian king, Ashot III Bagratuni, proclaimed it his capital. He along with his successors fortified the city and embellished the city with churches, cathedrals, chapels, inns, almshouses and other civil structures. So many ecclesiastical buildings were constructed that Ani soon became known as the city of 1,001 churches. The most renowned church which has survived is that of the Mother Cathedral (Mayr Katoghike), whose foundation was laid by King Smbat II Bagratuni and was completed during the reign of his successor King Gagik I (989-1020) by the architect Trdat.
The city's radiance, however, was cut short when it was sacked by the Seljuk Turks in 1064. The cross was brought down and the cathedral was converted into a mosque. The city lost its luster in the following centuries after countless invasions and interminable warfare.
The city now stands desolate and remains in ruins, very little having survived.
