The ARMENIAN GENOCIDE...when the end becomes the beginning

September 15th 2017
The ARMENIAN GENOCIDE...when the end becomes the beginning. In 1991 the Republic of Armenia emerged from the fragmentation of the Soviet Union...ending a thousand years of subjugation of the Armenian people...lucky...but for their spirit of endurance...to be a people at all.

I was in Armenia in the mid 90-ies
I visited Armenia in the mid 90-ies. It was a strange experience. It was winter and I didn't have any guidebook (there wasn't any then). I missed a lot of interesting places for sure but I did see the genocide museum. I'll go back to Armenia one day and make a revisit because it is a lovely country and I would like to see it in summer too when I am sure that it is much better to go there. /Ake
