I came across a major article about Armenia in the Sunday Telegraph, under the Travel section today. Although there was a factual mistake on the very first page, [”…having adopted Christianity in AD 310, a decade before Rome…” - this should be 301, Not 310] the article is definitely worth a read, it is written […]
RFE/RL reports phenomenal figures in Armenia’s tourism industry.
…The increased influx of tourists, most of them foreign nationals of Armenian descent, was particularly visible last year. Virtually all hotels in central Yerevan and flights to and from the Armenian were fully booked from August through October, the traditional peak period for travel to Armenia…
…Petrosian estimated […]
I was very happy to see that Air Arabia is now serving Yerevan! In my opinion, this is a very important link for business. The fact is air links equate business expansion and opportunity. If you look at most any major economic development initiative in Europe or America, there is an emphasis […]
If you want to see the real beauty of Armenia, come here in October – that’s my advice to all my friends. That’s my advice to you. The nature around is beautiful (that is to say – if you have the heart to try hard and find some nature) and you might want to give […]
Having docked in the Shahumyan square, Yerevan for 5 days, Cilicia will sail to the harbor near the Opera house, most probably the wharf of the Freedom square in Yerevan, where it will spend 5 days – to the joy of the children and some romantic airheads, wide open for anybody to get on-board, take photos, talk to the sailors and wonder: where will it go from here?
Please forgive me for not posting regularly, I am now at the epicentre of the reason this blog exists, the place we talk about, gossip about, report about, and complain about : Armenia.
I will try not to bore you with the usual “change is slow but its happening” kinda stuff but just a […]
Sunday was a great day, I was at the official sendoff ceremony of the Armenian replica Cilicia vessel. This is a model of an 800 year old ship that is being sailed around the world by a very talented group of Armenians. The ceremony was great, with easily 1000 people present. There were excellent performances […]
Lufthansa have an offer on flights available until Tuesday that makes visiting Armenia from Europe more affordable than ever.
I was really surprised to see this from Lufthansa who are usually a bit more expensive… but I managed to find a flight from UK to Yerevan ( they fly from elsewhere too ) for just […]
Another awful day for Armenian aviation as news arrived that 2 Armenian aeroplanes have beentotally destroyed in a fire that broke out in Brussels airport this morning.
The planes ( one Armavia, and another smaller company ) were undergoing maintennance checks. Both have been seriously damaged.
I worry that this could be spelling yet another […]
The hunt for the victims continues in Sochi. Today already the newspapers and other media have begun their rumour mills ( which can be expected ) some say the crew weren’t prepared, some saying that the number of influential people on board made the crash suspect. Perhaps the most sensational piece of news is the […]
