Though during the time Armenia was robbed and conquered till this tiny piece of land is left from once huge Armenia, but still this tiny piece of land had tons of interesting things to see.

Khor Virap

In Khor Virap, Mt. Ararat in the background

It's interesting why Virtualtourist doesn't have Khor Virap in its Armenia list. Khor Virap is one of the most popular places. Lots of religious history and legends are tied with this place. The view of Mt. Ararat is the best from this place.

HI! Armen. Thanks for dropping by my Sydney page. There used to be a community of Armenians in Singapore. Sadly, only the Armenian Church is left today. Cheers!
