I was in Yerevan 2017 from the ending of April till the first week of May and I had a great time, When some found out (walked right up to Me) I'm Native American Indian or "Red Native" I was treated like a Rock Star (Due to the long hair which is unheard of LoLz !), I was given a few gifts which i wanted to pay for but they (Store owners) would take payment... Talk about Nice people... As for walking around I didn't nor did I feel lost at anytime, The night life was very cool and lively, I did see some kids that walked around asking for hand out but late on I found out that it was a Scam just as You might find old ladies crying and they would give You a sob story... Beyond all that I found Myself wanting to go back even as soon and I landed back in LAX... I can't wait to go back there once again... Great video post by the way...

Thank you for this video. I am Armenian from Los Angeles but I have lived in Armenia for a couple years in the past. Now that I am engaged to a non Armenian, I want to move back there but doesn’t matter how many times I described the life & scenery there he hadn’t fully understood until this video. You summed it perfectly

I'm a UK/US dual national living and working in Nassau, Bahamas. I visited Armenia twice in 2015 whilst living and working in the UAE. I plan on retiring at the end of 2021 and spending at least six months in Yerevan. Do you know the best process for applying for an Armenian residency visa?

[@michaeld2716]

Thank you. This is one of the best and thorough videos. Thanks again.

lol i LOVE soad. always was intrigued. will def visit. thanks for this vid appreciated.

[@levonvardanyan3478]

Armenia is one of the safest countries in the world, last year for example there was 34 homicides in the country which has a population of 3 million people!! Lol there are some cities in the US which have 1/3rd or half the population but have several hundred homicides every year. Also the hospitality is unbelievable, I left a casino and there were no taxis outside so I started walking down the road thinking ill get a taxi on the way because taxis are everywhere in Armenia and their cheap. After less than 5 minutes of walking some young guy stopped and asked me where im going, I said Yerevan he said hop in, we ended ip at his friends record shop, they burned me music cds, we went out had a great time and became friends, we still talk once in a while. Things like that are rare in US, everyone is in their own little bubble, out in public people dont socialize or make eye contact, people dont trust each other, I never realized how cold and dry people in the USA are until i visited Armenia. I was born in Armenia but raised in the USA I visited in June 2010 and had a great time, there wasnt one thing I ate that I didnt like, and you can drink the water from the faucet there’s no nasty taste it taste like bottled water.

[@rubensahak9178]

I can relate "cold dry US people" Yes having lived 40yrs in US I am ready to retire in Armenia and die in motherland.

I have always wanted to move to Armenia. But wife and kids won’t go! I do hope that once the kids are married and out of the house, I can finally move to Armenia. The wife??? Not sure if she will follow!! But then again, you have to follow your dreams. I wanted to celebrate my 50th birthday in Armenia in 2019 and I did. Now I just want to retire there and live and die in my country.

The map is wrong. No western Armenia, Armenia has no sea. They have the right for nagorno I agree.

[@algray6311]

It is the right historical map. We have no access to the sea because of the Armenian Genocide that forcefully exterminated and removed the population from Armenian Homeland - WESTERN ARMENIA. So you talk as much as you want to. De facto there is very little Armenians living there now, but de jure it is an Armenian Land. It is called an Armenian Highland for a reason. Go learn history

Apart from the constant shelling from Turkey and Azerbeidzjan I am shure you can still enjoy a stuffed pumpkin 😳

Yeahh,

[@levonvardanyan3478]

There is no shelling or bombing in Armenia, Armenia has a mitual defense pact with Russia and Turkey and Azerbaijan wouldnt dare bomb Armenia, the shelling your talking about is in Artsakh aka Karabagh an Armenian region which for now atleast is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan but is historically, demographically, and morally(if such a thing exists) Armenian.

Over the night from February 25 to 26, 1992 Armenian armed forces implemented the capture of the Khojaly city with support of hard equipment and the personnel of the infantry guards regiment #366 of former Soviet Union. The massed firing with using artillery weapon, hard military equipment, which was began in the evening of February 25, preceded assault of the city. As a result of this the fire began in the city and by five o'clock in the morning the whole city was in fire. The population (about 2500 people) remained in the city were forced to leave their houses in the hope to find the way to Aghdam - the district center and the nearest place mainly populated by Azerbaijanis. But these plans have failed. Armenian armed forces with the military support of the infantry guards regiment destroyed Khojaly city and with particular brutality implemented carnage over the peaceful population. As a result: 613 people were killed, among them; 63 children, 106 women, 70 the elderly. 8 families were killed completely. 25 children lost both parents. 130 children lost one of the parents. 487 people were wounded, including; 76 children 1275 people were hostages 150 people were missing The damage done to both state and private property estimated 5 billion rubles (according to the prices for 01.04.92) These figures show the results of the most bloody tragedy of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, which began on February, 1988 with illegal demands of ethnic Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast of Azerbaijan SSR to join Armenia SSR that was provoked with direct support of ruling circles of the Armenian SSR, consent and inactivity of central authorities of Soviet Union. Khojaly - the main target Khojaly assault by Armenian armed forces was predetermined by strategic location of the city. The city with population of 7000 people is situated 10 kilometers to South-East from Khankendi. Khojaly is situated on the way Aghdam-Shusha, Askeran-Khankendi and has an airport, the only in Nagorno-Karabakh. Khojaly is the historical place and memorials of ancient history have still remained here. The memorials of Khojaly -Kedabek culture of XIV-VII centuries B.C. are near Khojaly village. The funeral memorials - the stone boxes, barrows and necropolis of the late Bronze Age and early Iron Age, as well as architectural memorials - round crypt (1356-1357) and mausoleum (XIV century) were found here. The various stone, bronze, bone adornment, the ceramics household goods were found during the archeological excavations. The name of the Assyrian king Adadnerari (807-788 cc. B.C.) was written on one of the beads found in Khojaly. The population ranched and done with the wine-growing, beekeeping and grain farming. There were the textile factories, 2 secondary schools and 2 partial secondary schools in the city. In connection with the events of last years 54 Turks-Meskhets families - refugees from Fergana (Uzbekistan), as well as Azerbaijanis expatriated from Armenia have taken refuge in this city. Because of that the construction of branches of big industrial enterprises of Azerbaijan, residential buildings and other sites were developed. Later the Armenian side admitted that one of the first goals of Armenian armed forces was the liquidation of Khojaly base to open the corridor connected Askeran village and Stepanakert across the city and unblocking of the only airport, which was under control of the Azerbaijanis. Pay attention to the phrase "the liquidation of Khojaly base". These words, which are also heard today, disclose motives of mass extirpation of children and women, motives of bloody massacre implemented by Armenians. Chronicle of tragedy Khojaly was under blockade since October, 1991. On October, 30 the ground traffic was cut off and helicopter was the only way of transportation. The last civilian helicopter arrived in Khojaly on January, 28 and after civilian helicopter was brought down over Shusha city, as a result of which 40 people died, the helicopter traffic also stopped its functioning. Beginning from January 2 there was no electricity in the city. The city lived due to the courage of population and heroism of his defenders. Defense of the city was organized by local guard forces, militia and fighters of National Army armed mainly by submachine guns. From the second part of February Khojaly was encircled by Armenian armed forces and subjected to daily artillery and hard military equipment firing, attack attempts of the Armenian side. Preparation for Khojaly attack began in the evening of February, 25 when the military equipment of regiment No 366 began to take positions around the city. The assault of the city began with the 2 hours firing by tanks, armored cars and guns with the missile "Alazan". Khojaly was blocked from three sides and the people tried to escape in Askeran direction. But very soon they understood that it was the ominous trap. Near Nakhchivanik village the Armenian armed forces opened the fire on the unarmed people. Just here, in Askeran-Nakhchivanik shallow gully many of the children and women, the elderly, frostbitten and weaken in the snow of forests and mountain passes became the victims of the brutality of Armenian armed forces. These events took place when Foreign Minister of Islamic Republic of Iran Ali Akbar Vilayati visited the region with mediatory mission. On February, 25 he met with leadership of Azerbaijan in Baku and on February, 27 he planned to go to the Karabakh, and then to Armenia. In connection with that according to agreement of both parts three days cease fire was declared from February, 27 till March, 1, but it was also ignored by the Armenian side. It was also happened on February, 12 when the mission of Council of Security and Cooperation in Europe arrived in Karabakh with the aim to acquaint and analyse the situation in the conflict zone and possibilities of its settlement, and then it planned to go to Yerevan and Baku. Exactly on February, 12 Armenian extremists carried out capture of Malibeyli and Gushchular villages of Shusha district, as a result of which the villages were completely destroyed and burnt. Only in Malibeyli about 50 people were killed, wounded and taken as hostages. Those days Azerbaijani forces couldn't burst through to help the population of Khojaly, and there was also no ability to take away the dead bodies. At the same time special groups of Armenians in white camouflage cloaks using helicopters searched the people in the forests, groups of people who came out the forest were shot or taken as hostages and subjected to tortures. On February 28 the group of local journalists could reach the place of massacre of Azerbaijanis by two helicopters. Awful sight shocked all - the field was covered by dead bodies. Despite the convoy of the second helicopter they could take only 4 dead bodies because of firing of the helicopters by Armenian militants. On March, 1 when the group of the foreign and local journalists could come to this place, the sight that they saw was more terrible. The dead bodies were mutilated. Many of them had the bullet wounds to head and this showed that the wounded people were finished. After medical checkup of dead bodies it was determined that they were scalped, their ears and other organs were cut off, the eyes were put out, their extremities were chopped off, they have numerous of gun wounds, many of them pressed by hard equipment. Those days foreign newspapers wrote: "Crual L'Eveneman" magazine (Paris), March 25, 1992: "The Armenians attacked Khojaly district. The whole world became the witness of the disfigured dead bodies. Azeris speak about thousand killed people". "Sunday Times" newspaper (London), March 1, 1992: "Armenian soldiers annihilated the hundred families". "Financial Times" newspaper (London), March 9, 1992: "…Armenains shot down the column of refugees, fled to Aghdam. The Azerbaijani side counted up about 1200 dead bodies… … The cameraman from Lebanon confirmed that the rich dashnak community of his country send the weapon and people to Karabakh". "Times" newspaper (London), March 4, 1992: … "Many people were mutilated, and it was remained only the head of one little girl" "Izvestiya" newspaper (Moscow), March 4, 1992: "…Camcoder showed the kids with the cut off ears. One old woman was cut off the half of her face. The men were scalped…" "Financial Times", March 14, 1992: "General Polyakov said 103 Armenian servicemen from regiment No 366 stayed in Nagorno-Karabakh". "Le Monde" newspaper (Paris), March 14, 1992: "… The foreign journalists in Aghdam saw the women and three scalped children with the pulled off nails among the killed people. This is not "Azerbaijani propaganda", but reality" "Izvestiya" newspaper, March 13, 1992: "Major Leonid Kravets: "I saw about hundred dead bodies on the hill. One little boy was without head. Everywhere were the dead bodies of women, children, elders killed with the particular brutality". "Valer actuel" magazine (Paris), March 14, 1992: "…On this "autonomous region" Armenian armed forces together with the people who are natives of Near East have the most modern military equipment, including the helicopters. ASALA has military bases and ammunition depots in Syria and Lebanon. Armenians annihilated Azerbaijanis of Karabakh, implemented bloody massacre in more than 100 Moslem villages". Journalist of British TV company "Funt man news" R. Patrick who visited the place of tragedy: "Crime in Khojaly can not be justified in public opinion"
