Wiki:
Yerevan (Armenian: Երևան or Երեւան, Armenian pronunciation: [jɛɾɛˈvɑn]) is the capital and largest city of Armenia and 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.
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.[3] After World War I, Yerevan became the capital of the Democratic Republic of Armenia as thousands of survivors of the Armenian Genocide settled in the area. The city expanded rapidly during the 20th century as Armenia became one of the fifteen republics in the Soviet Union. In fifty years, Yerevan was transformed from a town of a few thousand residents 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 such as restaurants, shops and street cafes, which were rare during Soviet times, have multiplied.
In 2009, the population of Yerevan was estimated to be 1,111,300 people with the agglomeration around the city regrouping 1,245,700 people (2007 official estimate),[4] more than a third of all the population of Armenia.
Yerevan is named as the 2012 World Book Capital by the UNESCO.
Republic Square (Armenian: Հանրապետության հրապարակ Hanrapetutyan Hraparak, formerly Lenin Square (Armenian: Լենինի հրապարակ)) is the large central town square in Yerevan, Armenia. The square is intersected by the following streets: Abovian, Nalbandian, Tigran Mets Avenue, Vazgen Sargsyan and Amiryan streets.
The oval shaped square has a stone pattern in the centre, meant to look like a traditional Armenian rug from above. The large dancing water fountains are located at the northern forehead of the square in front of the National Gallery.
The Republic Square is the place where ceremonies and meetings are held. The statue of Lenin used to be located in the southern forehead of the square, but when Armenia regained its independence, the statue was brought down and replaced with a large TV monitor.
The History Museum of Armenia (Armenian: Հայաստանի Պատմության Թանգարան) is the national museum of Armenia founded in 1919 as Ethnographic-Anthropological Museum-Library. It is located on the Republic Square in Yerevan.
The National Gallery of Armenia (Armenian: Հայաստանի Ազգային Պատկերասրահ) is the national art gallery of Armenia founded in 1921 as the artistic section of the State Museum. It is located on the Republic Square in Yerevan.
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.

Tsitsernakaberd, Armenian Genocide Memorial, Yerevan, Armenia, Eurasia
Tsitsernakaberd is a memorial dedicated to the victims of the Armenian Genocide; it is located on a hill overlooking Yerevan, Armenia. Every year on April 24, hundreds of thousands of Armenians gather here to remember the victims of the 1915 Armenian Genocide that took place in the Ottoman Empire carried out by the Turkish government. The memorial sits on one of three hills along the Hrazdan River that carry the name Tsitsernakaberd, and was the site of what was once an Iron Age fortress. Most of the above ground traces at this peak have since disappeared, but upon the smaller hill are still traces of a castle. Archaeological surveys took place in 2007, and excavations uncovered a wall that is hundreds of meters long and may still be seen in many places above ground. An altar cut from stone sits in the middle of a square at the edge of one of the hills, and large stones that weigh approximately two tons are still visible that cover graves from the second millennium BC. Apartments were later built along the hills during Roman times, and were built over with other structures during medieval years. Nearby are also the remains of a very large building with a cave. Construction of the memorial began in 1966 (during Soviet times) in response to the 1965 Yerevan demonstrations during which one million people demonstrated in Yerevan for 24 hours to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Genocide. The memorial is designed by architects Arthur Tarkhanyan, Sashur Kalashyan and artist Hovhannes Khachatryan. It was completed in November 1967. The 44 meter stele symbolizes the national rebirth of Armenians. 12 slabs are positioned in a circle, representing the 12 lost provinces in present day Turkey. In the center of the circle, at a depth of 1.5 meters, there is an eternal flame dedicated to the 1.5 million Armenians killed during the Armenian Genocide. Along the park at the memorial there is a 100 meter wall with names of towns and villages where massacres are known to have taken place. On the rear side of the commemoration wall, plates have been attached to honor persons who have committed themselves to relieving the distress of the victims during and after the genocide (among others: Johannes Lepsius, Franz Werfel, Armin T. Wegner, Henry Morgenthau Sr., Fridtjof Nansen, Pope Benedict XV, Jakob Künzler, Bodil Biørn). As an act of commemoration of the victims, an alley of trees has been planted. The Armenian Genocide Museum opened its doors in 1995, concurrently commemorating the eightieth anniversary of the Genocide. The Museum structure, planned by architects S. Kalashian, Lyudmila Mkrtchyan and sculptor F. Araqelyan, has a unique design. Since opening its doors, the Museum has received many thousands of visitors including schoolchildren, college students and huge numbers of tourists from outside Armenia. The museum provides guided tours in Armenian, Russian, English, French and German. The Republic of Armenia has made visiting the Armenian Genocide Museum part of the official State protocol and many official foreign delegations have already visited the Museum. These delegations have included Pope John Paul II, President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, President of France Jacques Chirac, and other well-known social and political figures. The museum contains historical documents and is open to the public for tours. The impressive two-story building is built directly into the side of a hill so as not to detract from the imposing presence of the Genocide Monument nearby. The roof of the Museum is flat and covered with concrete tiles. It overlooks the scenic Ararat Valley and majestic Mount Ararat. The first floor of the Museum is subterranean and houses the administrative, engineering and technical maintenance offices as well as Komitas Hall, which seats 170 people. Here also are situated the storage rooms for museum artifacts and scientific objects, as well as a library and a reading hall. The Museum exhibit is located on the second floor in a space just over 1,000 square meters in size. There are three main indoor exhibit halls and an outer gallery with its own hall. The Genocide Monument is designed to memorialize the innocent victims of the first Genocide of the 20th century. The Genocide Museum's mission is rooted in the fact that understanding the Armenian Genocide is an important step in preventing similar future tragedies, in keeping with the notion that those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it. The current director of the Museum is Dr. Hayk Demoyan.

아라라트산을 형상화하여 만든 대학살 위령탑. 1차 세계대전 중인 1915년 터키군에 의해 150만 명에 달하는 아르메니아인들이 집단학살 되었고 희생자들을 기리기 위해 만든 위령탑이다. “이곳에 오면 과거의 역사도 알고 조상들이 어떤 아픔을 겪었는지 알 수 있어요. 사람들이 나라를 어떻게 지켰는지 알 수 있죠. 이곳은 아주 특별한 곳이에요” 위령탑 옆에는 아르메니아의 아픈 역사를 고스란히 담고 있는 학살박물관이 있다. 학살되고 강제로 이주되어야 했던 아르메니아의 슬픈 역사를 잊지 않기 위해 많은 사람들이 이곳을 찾는다. “우리 민족이 (집단학살에서) 살아남아서 그 역사를 잊지 않고 유지하며 살아가는 것이 정말 자랑스러워요” “우리는 끝까지 투쟁할 거예요. 꼭 아라라트 산에 아르메니아 깃발을 꽂을 거예요” 신은 아르메니아에게 아픈 역사 대신 아름다운 자연을 주신 듯하다.

Armenia Tourist Attractions: 10 Best Places to Visit in Armenia -Best tourist attractions
Armenia is becoming an increasingly popular tourist attraction, with the small but charming nation boasting a rich history. Armenia, which was the first country to declare Christianity as its national religion, boasts some of Europe’s most stunning views, with the peak of Mount Ararat dominating the country’s skyline. The mountain is Armenia’s national symbol despite its peak lying just over the Turkish border and Ararat is considered holy by locals due to its mention in The Bible – it is where Noah’s Ark landed. Armenia is home to countless beautiful monasteries and they are often found in areas of truly outstanding natural beauty. Armenia’s capital, Yerevan,

PEPITTO
Every city has its unique voice and rhythm. You can run across it anywhere-in the streets, at home reading a book, on the roof watching the world, or when you search your destiny in someone's eyes. Very often, that voice is so natural and harmonious with city pace that most people don't even notice it. But when this voice stops, the silence is heard, for just a second...it seems like the voice exists, and doesn’t, at the same time.
Gevorg is one of the voices of Yerevan. It is almost impossible to see him without his guitar, and even more impossible to imagine it. If one has walked in the city center at least once, he has definitely seen this guitar-man… Music is Gevorg’s way of thinking, his passion, his lifestyle, just him. It’s the way he tries to find the answers to questions, to speak to people, to express his protest and joy, his pain and happiness. This is how he lives and maybe makes others live too.
Gevorg is one of the silent voices of Yerevan, for whom the life is as long as the guitar cords…

Fashion Road Project Launched at the Cafesjian Center for the Arts
On May 4 Fashion Road: Dialogue Across Borders project was launched at the Cafesjian Center for the Arts with the opening speeches of PR and Marketing Director of the Cafesjian Center for the Arts Anna Simonyan and British Council Armenia Director Arevik Saribekyan, after which a press-conference was held at the Star Landing, in participation of H. E. Crina Prunariu, Ambassador of Romania; H.E. Hans-Jochen Schnidt, Ambassador of Germany; H.E. Charles Lonsdale, Ambassador of Great Britain; Mrs. Varduhi Khechoyan, Representative of the EU in Foreign Affairs Ministry of Armenia; Mrs. Arevik Saribekyan, British Council Armenia Director; Mrs. Anna Simonyan, CCA PR and Marketing Director.
Fashion Road: Dialogue Across Borders is a 2-year collaborative project, through which ten fashion designers from Armenia, UK, Germany, Romania, Denmark and Czech Republic will explore how the aspects of national identity are incorporated into contemporary designs. The designers will study traditional costumes in the countries, explore the role of those costumes in contemporary society, how people associate memories with clothing and how they preserve these memories.
Designers will view clothing in a cultural context and use modern technologies and approaches to present their interpretation of the countries' culture and identity. They will prepare a collection aiming to raise understanding and appreciation of European cultural values and identity among the Armenian public as well as the Armenian cultural history and heritage among Europeans.
The project is initiated by the British Council Office in Armenia and supported by the Culture Fund of the European Union.
During the two-day seminar at CCA the designers and field professionals from Armenia, Romania, Germany and UK, Denmark and Czech Republic gave presentations, as well as short documentaries were screened. After the seminars, residency programs in Armenia for the European designers and in Europe for the Armenian designers will be launched. The designers will be paired to work together to prepare their collections, which will contextualize the cultural heritage, values and traditions of the participating countries they explore during their residencies. The collection will be exhibited at the Cafesjian Center for the Arts in January 2012 and then tour in five European participant countries.
