Denial is the last stage of Genocide. But silence is even more deadly, because it ensures that the genocide is complete.

ARMENIA - Yerevan (Jerevan - Erevan) [seconda parte]
°° By CLAUDIO MORTINI °° Seconda ed ultima parte del video sulla Capitale. Yerevan, spesso indicata anche come Jerevan o Erevan, è una metropoli di oltre 1.100.000 abitanti situata nella parte centro-occidentale dell'Armenia, di cui è capitale dal 1991. Dal punto di vista geografico, l'insediamento sorge nei pressi del confine turco, ai piedi del monte Ararat e lungo le rive del fiume Hrazdan a quasi 1.000 metri di altitudine. Il centro, che è una delle più antiche testimonianze architettoniche del mondo, è circondato su tre lati da altrettante modeste colline, che digradano dolcemente dalla cime dell'Ararat. Pur non essendo quasi mai citata tra le destinazioni turistiche internazionali, Yerevan è una città che ha molto da offrire e che merita di essere visitata.
Particolarmente suggestivo è il panorama museale di Yerevan. Il museo più importante è lo State Historical Museum, aperto presso Piazza della Repubblica, che neanche a dirlo celebra i fasti della storia locale. Pur non essendo un museo vero e proprio, il Matendadaran è una di quelle tappe che non si possono proprio saltare. Questo austero edificio ospita infatti uno dei tesori più importanti in assoluto della cultura armena, con oltre 12.000 manoscritti antichi datati a partire dal IX secolo custoditi a scopo di studio e conservazione. Molto emozionante è anche l'Erebuni Museum, nei pressi del quale si erge il Memorial Monument of Armenian Genocide, dedicato al milione e mezzo di cittadini armeni vittima della campagna genocida ottomana del 1915.
La Piazza della repubblica di Yerevan è un teatro dell'arte di arrangiarsi: uno ti pesa con la bilancia portata da casa, uno ti fa la fotografia, uno vende palloncini, uno gelati dai frigoriferi incassati sotto I portici del museo. I giovani passeggiano nella via Abovian, una sorta di fifth avenue locale, chi può ostenta il suv di papà, le ragazze prendono d'assalto I saldi del mega palazzo a tre piani di Terranova, moda italiana a prezzi stracciati. Il volto della città cambia velocemente , si abbattono i vecchi edfici con I tetti in eternit/amianto e si costruiscono enormi grattaceli I capitali degli armeni della diaspora rientrano, si è aggiunto un nuovo ristorante italiano Gusto non male per I nostalgici degli spaghetti nazionali. Nessun angolo di Yerevan è pericoloso, al limite puoi inciampare causa il buio dei marciapiedi rischiarati dalle insegne dei locali.
Da sempre l'Armenia è stata presa di mira dai popoli confinanti: persiani, greci, parti, romani, bizantini, mongoli, tartari, arabi, turcomanni, ottomani e russi. Evangelizzata da Gregorio l'Illuminatore nel 301 l'Armenia diventa la prima nazione cristiana al mondo, nasce così quell'indissolubile legame tra identità nazionale e fede cristiana che resiste ancora. Tra il 1915 e il 1917 il genocidio, mai ammesso dai Turchi che armarono la mano curda, culmina nello sterminio di circa un milione e mezzo di morti e quasi tre milioni di esuli. Nel 1918 i superstiti danno vita alla prima repubblica che l'Urss si annetterà due anni dopo. Nel 1988 inizia la guerra con l'Azerbaigian per la contesa del Karabak; nel dicembre dello stesso hanno, un terremoto del decimo grado della scala mercalli rade al suolo la cittadina di Spitak e altre limitrofe provocando circa 25 mila morti. Nel 1991 con atto unilaterale si proclama la repubblica indipendente d' Armenia, con la libertà arrivò la fame per la maggioranza della popolazione, solo ora dopo 15 anni si ritorna al livello di vita del tempo sovietico che in molti, le categorie più deboli, ancora rimpiangono e spezza il cuore vedere I mendicanti, soprattutto vecchi che stendono la mano anche in piena notte nelle vie della capitale.

A program by NDR Fernsehen German television channel (June 22, 2014 broadcast)
Enjoy a sneak preview of a capital city that has managed to preserve its ancient traditions, culture and architecture while integrating the latest innovations and technology.
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 Valley. 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 settled 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.
Yerevan is home to dozens of museums, art galleries, concert halls, city parks, churches and many other attractions. The most prominent of these are the National Gallery of Armenia, The State Opera House, The Cafesjian Museum of Art, Sergei Parajanov Museum, The Matenadaran Institute of Ancient Manuscripts, “Ararat” Brandy Factory and Armenian Genocide Memorial.

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!

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.

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)
