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.

Ալեքսանդր Մյասնիկյան
Ալեքսանդր Մյասնիկյանի ջանքերով Լոռին ու Զանգեզուրը մնացին Խորհրդային Հայաստանի կազմում: Նա այդպես էլ չստորագրեց Ղարաբաղը Ադրբեջանի կազմում թողնելու ստալինյան որոշումը: Ամենանշանավոր հայ ռազմական ու պետական գործիչը գալով սովից ու տիֆից արնաքամ լինող հայրենիք՝ կարողացավ զարգացման հիմքի վրա դնել երկրի տնտեսությունը, հաշտեցնել քաղաքացիական կռիվներով թշնամացած կողմերին, մեծ թվով նշանավոր հայ գիտնականների ու արվեստագետների հրավիրեց Հայաստան՝ միասին վերակառուցելու երկիրը: Կյանքն ավարտեց ողբերգական մահով, որի մեջ կասկածվում են Ստալինը և Բերիան:
Alexander Myasnikyan
By the efforts of Alexander Myasnikyan, Lori and Zangezur remained within the Soviet Armenia. He never signed the decision of Stalin on leaving Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan. The most prominent Armenian military and state figure came to the homeland exhausted from hunger and typhus, and was able to put the country's economy into development, reconcile those who became hostile because of civil war, invited many prominent Armenian scientists and artists to Armenia to rebuild the country with joint efforts. His life ended with tragic death, in which Stalin and Beria were suspected.
