What was the name of that dam again? I remember two months ago, a non armenian friend of mine was amazed at this architecture, this guy isn't easily amazed but this really freaked him out.
He asked where did armenia get the money to build that stuff since it isn't a rich country....I was proud

Did you bother to explain him that Armenia went from a village to a industrialized state with the aid of the Soviet Union? Or did you trick him into thinking Armenians did it themselves. Communism did a lot for Armenia...now like some had hope, Communism is gone, and Armenia is the rock hell that it would have been. Reality.

Great Post Che Ka

*big applause*

Yup... thats what Armenia looks like today!!
Trust me, everyone should see it in person.

[Che_Ka]

Thanks!

Trust me, I am dying to go back. I was last there in 2000, and things have changed so much...

[Genuine_Stud]

Yea.... when you're there in person.. you truely feel the difference.

I went once in 1999 and once this year.

I felt the difference immediately. Everything was sooo much cleaner and organized.

Oh, Che_Ka those were great pictures. I loved them. I've been looking at these pictures all day. They are just beautiful. I too am dying to go back. In due time, I guess.

<sigh> The republic square was built in Communist days as well. Yerevan was a village before that.

Armenia is going in a bad direction, I want it to be Industrial rather than tourist
