But there are sins . Winged armenia is a vertical journey. One said upwards that the poet, dearly beloved by me, is a philosopher, tanyas mountain. Lets take these beautiful, but so far incomprehensible lines as an epigraph to our story about armenia a. All of a sudden we get this vertical journey. No matter how trite it may be, we will begin the story about armenia with its capital banality. Its not always with a minus sign sometimes justified necessity. There is a widespread opinion, and i often he referred to him that they say that it is impossible to judge the whole country by the capitals. Yes, this is partly true, yes, the capital always lives richer, and there are always more newcomers in it, but another statement is more correct in order to understand or feel the country. We must first examine the capital in detail, it is she who absorbs everything characteristically and importantly, and perhaps it is in the capital that the essence of the country is reflected in a mirror. There are cities that go without people and as soon as they are filled with noise and push. They, alas, lose their charm, turning into an annoying little man so venice has always been an example for me. It is good only in fogs and silence. And in other cities, silence and without people does not suit at all. Well, imagine deserted paris, for example, or quiet barcelona, and so yerevan is also getting noise and jolts, that is, life is going very well for him. And also yerevan is very irony and selfirony. This is a wonderful human quality, and if they are applied to the city, then they certainly make it expressive. What is it expressed in . Well, at least in monuments and urban cultures. Here is baterovskaya a thicksided cat. She, like all the characters of the colombian sculptors fernando butter, contemptuously denies the usefulness of the diet. I filmed the work of a batyr with a complete figure of tivism in different parts of the world, and they are always recognizable. This is in ecuador and this is barcelona and this is singapore but most of all i looked. Here is the thing in madrid, i have two original paintings by his hand. Of course, yes, he is a great optimist. He is now 91 years old. Well , god bless him for a long life. And the monumentally chopped cascade of the architect alexander tamanin, who brings everyone to those who come to yerevan, he is not at all offended by such a frivolous neighborhood, but only benefits from it, and although yerevan is one of the most ancient cities. By the way, it is almost 2,000 years older than moscow, there is no concept here, the old city, when istanbul was the cultural and Spiritual Center for western armenians or eastern armenians, tbilisi began to acquire yerevan under soviet rule, starting from the midtwenties, Alexander Tamanyan became the architect of the master plan. Why was he installed . Here this monument, and what has been a model of architectural style all these years . Well, of course, the solemn stalinist ampere from the fact that there are a lot of wide avenues and pompous houses, fortunately for her yerevan, they built it from the local tuff of cheerful pink orange and security shades. From the fact that it seems that the building is built from childrens cubes. As a result, even the stalinist monumentality here turned out not to be gloomy, oppressive, but some kind of not very serious house made of orange stone, as Osip Mandelstam once said an incredible number of Art Galleries of the authors workshops of museums and museums in yerevan and this gives the face of the city spirituality and intelligence, we agree. And now a little bit of ararat. Well, how could you live without him in armenia in vain. Im talking about the mountain of the same name ararat what did you think . Oh, however, once the information, petrov wrote such a phrase, the ark is not visible, but at the foot of the mountain lay a very drunk noah. Well, the joke, although funny, does not reflect the authenticity of the picture. But the fact that the armenians have always believed that the same biblical ark is on top sacred mount ararat and burst into tears this is true, true, he is a snowcapped. Yes, i will tell you more, some armenians believe that their ancient yerevan was also founded by a comrade himself. Yes, personally after i figured out the flood. No, of course, among the leading scientists of the world there are those who stubbornly insist that noahs ark was located somewhere in the region of the ararat mountains of iraqi kurdistan, but we all understand that this is just stupid arrogance. Or, if you like, the mistake is our hypothesis that noah was registered right on the mountain. Ararat seems convincing to us, and therefore true. Well, lets continue our vertical journey, and in this case it is an ugly metaphor, but the fact is that on the top of the triangular cape surrounded by steep cliffs there is garni, a very ancient fortress city, mentioned in the ural cuneiform records. Today it is one of the most visited places in the army. We run to see the temple of garni, the only ancient pagan sanctuary in the entire postsoviet space. Nothing older than the nearest, and not the nearest district. You do not find some meticulous spectator will ask, but the one that always and everywhere strives to climb in with some tricky question. And why this temple of yours, like two drops of water, looks like an ancient greek one, well, its just some kind of armenian parthenon, what kind of plagiarism is this, but the fact is that all distant people are not afraid of this word before christian times, and we are talking about the First Century of our era represent helen culture was a model for almost half of the world. So the then armenian king elios worked at number one and decided. Oh the temple will be no worse than the greek people, of course, remember that this territory was part of the roman empire. Yes, yes, young people, do not be surprised. It would seem that there are two. And where is armenia, and yet in these parts, they went undermining, so our king trdad lit up in front of the roman commanders with such a skillful warrior that he was crowned and named by the neuron himself a true friend of the romans, and at the same time our friend of the romans received from the empire not only about dobryants for construction temple, but also Financial Support and a team of greek guest workers, a powerful podium made of basalt blocks, 24 huge columns, portico artful fine. Threads. The pagan temple turned out well. God, the sun, mitra was pleased or pleased, because the gender of the deity has not yet been determined. Yes, it happens. It was in this very portico next to the sacred fire that the statues with the victory of christianity stood then, the sacred fire went out, and the statue of the miter was broken. Well, why are you surprised, each era had its own shvonders, and the church itself was fortunately not touched by the newly converted christians by royal persons. They made it their summer residence. They loved coming here behind the coolness of the temple, they called the house coolness. And what do you mean, this one intervenes again . All the same corrosive spectator that the temple of the furnace and stood. This is such a handsome man from that very First Century. No, of course, but why would i lie to you in 1679, a devastating earthquake practically wiped out his tear of the earth, but in the seventies of the last century, the archionags carefully, excavating the ruins of the temple, restored it so that todays garni temple is almost eighty five percent assembled. Here from all ancient stones, but the replica looks like new. Challenge the last days at the box office. Of course, you can then watch it on the computer monitor in your phone.

And at the symphony you have already been asked, hold on, if not every second, then certainly every third local resident. No, there are no more lovers of the Classical Music conservatory in armenia than in any other country, and symphonies are called that here. Here is a natural wonder amazing landscape. Indeed, they are a symphony of stones or basalt organs or an entire orchestra of organs, scientists scientists give this phenomenon more mundane names columnar separateness and not poetic explain how these individual pillars turned out, they say such giant columns of natural basalt in the form of regular hexagonal prisms formed volcanic lava that came to the surface and rivers cut through this layer and expose this very columnar separateness in it. Well, what do we need from this knowledge, so i want to write about the symphony of stones. Of course, you already know without me that there are 13 mountain ranges on the territory of armenia, on which there are more than 900 peaks, their average height is about 1800 m, that is, armenia can be called mountainous country, and mountain ranges , as a rule, end in gorges. Ridges and gorges, this is the classic picture, armenia and every armenian dreams of having a house on the edge of the gorge, and i understand them the coolness of the mountains. There is no murmur, peace is the universe. But if it were my will, i would still choose the top, well, or the top, which i remembered, the reports of the line forgotten on sashas once beloved black to live on the top of the naked write simple sonnets and take bread, wine and meatballs from people from home. Oh no, its possible that people from there will be problems in armenia. But then they can be completely replaced with a classic caucasian barbecue. Why . But then, instead of bread from people, it is better to take armenian lavash from the valley, by the way, only women cook lavash, because they are the keepers of the hearth in armenia. It means that only in womens hands will you get a real right pita bread. Its recipe is just flour, salt and water, but cooking, what kind of skill you need to have in order to famously cope with this huge patch of dough, but strength. What . Here . Try it like this all day , young lady, that seals this huge pillow with pita bread to the wall of the stove and looks impressive, and this stove is called tamir or tandoor. This is the same ancient invention as the lavash itself. The first such stove was found on the territory of armenia in the areneria cave and it dates back to the sixth century bc, by the way, you can do without a fork so cleverly, when you control pieces of lavash. The work of the ladies flushed and embarrassed by our camera is similar to repelled wellcoordinated dance, not a single extra movement. Nobody interferes with each other. Everything calculated in seconds. And it is important that more than one pita bread was not damaged or even burned during the shooting. Armenian bread lavash included in the unesco intangible heritage list very tasty heritage well, how do you know when to stop . I propose to pause a little opinion. Its a huge impression and i hope that we will soon continue our journey.
