Trip to Armenia (including pictures)

Re: Trip to Armenia (including pictures)

Well it depends on the year....generally late june into July is best tsiran time. And people, please don't visit Turkey. Try to be a little bit patriotic for God's sake.

Yeah it varies slightly. I was there the first three weeks of June this year and there wasn't much even when we were leaving. But when you book your flight you generally don't know at the time whether when exactly they will be ripe. If your trip extends into July anyway, then it's not an issue anyway, but if one has their heart set on eating yummy stone fruit that's not imported, it's better to go in July.

I'm not trying to start trouble. I'm not psychotic . I think I'm somewhat quiet and contemplative and a little to friendly. Am constantly needing to remind myself that other peoples motives are neither forthright or appearant. This Internet thing is totally new to me. My join date on this site is my Internet start(approx 6 mo).
I've seen Armenians over the internet(video) who have gone to ?turky? And the went to find their roots. They conducted themselves with decency and they reminded me of the people that raised me.
If I went their I would either end up in a one of the simi hominoid prisons or make a successful escape after I took out the first mouthy high stepping lier. I know discretion is the better part of valor, so I avoid places where saying the truth is against the law. I can't stand being around phony lying vain --- I can't stand being around simi hominoids.

Re: Trip to Armenia (including pictures)

Apricots aren't ripe yet in June. Peaches were being imported from Iran still while I was there and only those tiny local apricots were just becoming available. Try to go later than June if that's important to you.

Also I missed the question about Turkey initially. I don't think it two weeks would be enough time to go to Artsakh, Georgia, and turkey. I think 2 weeks is barely enough to visit things in RA and you'll already have to pick and choose.

Yeah I just re-read what I wrote and should have been more clear. I meant to ask if 2 weeks was enough for just Armenia, but I guess I got your answer on that either way.


Artashes, I understand where you are coming from, but I feel like I would be able to remain composed. You have to remember that even if many Turkish civillians agree with us on the genocide, they cannot say anything without being punished by the Turkish government.

Also the areas of Ani and Ararat are mostly deserted anyways, so it's not like I'd be running into many denialist Turks. Most of the people who do live around those areas are Kurds anyways, not Turks, and while some Kurds participated in the genocide, many Kurds today have apologized, and seek to be friends with us in order to help their plight against the Turks. So i think I will be fine

Re: Trip to Armenia (including pictures)

Kurds are just as bad as Turks, just more illiterate. Kurds will of course want to be "friends" with us because they are being oppressed by Turks. Of course, when we were being oppressed by Turks, they enthusiastically helped the Turks. So I don't see why we should give a rat's a** about the Kurds and view them in a positive light. Let Turks and Kurds just kill each other.

Seek to be friends with us in order to help their plight against the turks. Yes I agree with you on that as their reson for seeking our friendship. To bad it's not because they sincerely like us. They seem to have no problem living on our stolen land but rather seem quite happy to do so and were rather eager to do so while watching our family be murdered and the remaining family members marched off to their death and exile.
That's some basis for friendship . If I'm not mistaken a number of them are living in houses right now that we're built by honest, industrious Armenians who were decent people. Also their claim to ancestry in our ancient lands does not meet the requirement of --- TRUTH ---.

You should be okay immediately. I got back a month ago, and while I was there I had friends on single entry visas who went to georgia or greece for a few days, and they just got another visa when reentering the country.
