It's a very nice website. But when will it be available in Հայերէն? ;)

What is that citadel on the top of that mountain. Was it built by Armenians?

Kars citadel is just Kars castle by another name.
Everyone has added to it - Georgians, Mongols, Turks of various dynasties, Persians, Russians - but the basic outline of the walls is mostly Armenian.

At first I was considering it. The map would only take a few minutes. Then I saw how expansive the website is. Western Armenian is also too damn difficult. Some of the letters sound the same. That's an advantage to Eastern Armenian, what is pronounced "p" in W. Armenian is pronounced "b" in Eastern Armenian. But there's also another letter in W. Armenian pronounced "p" that is also pronounced "p" in Eastern. Isn't our language awesome? ;)

That's right, the word our should be put in quotations.
