❤️ ARMENIA ❤️
THE CAPITAL CITY IS YEREVAN
❤️Armenia is a country with a rich history. It once included Mount Ararat, where, according to the Bible, Noah's ark fell after the Great Flood. Armenia is the first country to officially accept Christianity as a state religion (301).
Yerevan (Երեւան) is the capital of the Republic of Armenia and one of the three hubs of the South Caucasus. It's home to over a million people - the largest Armenian community in the world.
❤️In Soviet years, Yerevan underwent massive reconstruction, following architect Alexander Tamanyan's new plans to make a perfect city. His vision was a neo-Classical town with wide avenues to resembe Paris, Vienna and Saint Petersburg.
❤️Central Yerevan is a true jewel of early Soviet architecture. It is also home to some large scale Modern and Post-Modern marvels which are mostly the result of Soviet-Armenian architectural megalomania. In Soviet days Yerevan had already become known as the Pink City as much due to the colour of the stone used for building as for the flamboyant spirit of its young population.
Armenian food is incredibly delicious:
❤️Armenian cuisine reveals the geography and history of the country, as well as animals and crops grown on its territory. The cuisine is rich and is a flavourful one in vegetables, meat, and fish; however, eggplant, lamb, and lavash (flatbread) make up its primary components. In addition, cracked wheat, or bulgur, is often used instead of rice and maize in Armenian cuisine.
