One of the most common questions I have thrown

At me by visitors to Armenia is this: Where do the locals eat? Well, the answer is a little complicated.

We frequent many of the same restaurants visitors do-the hotspots and some that we have mentioned in TourInfo.

Now Fall arrives in early morning and with the updated energy and strength, we are ready to enter the new working season!

September begins on the same day of the week as December every year, because there are 91 days separating September and December, which is a multiple of seven (the number of days in the week). No other month ends on the same day of the week as September in any year. Unique? –Yes. Anyway no need to hurry, there is still long way till December: the most romantic, beautiful, colored season is still in turn to be enjoyed. The morning of the first September in Armenia is crisp and golden as an apple...

September is the most independent month for the Armenians. On the 2nd date the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh celebrates its Independence Day gained in 1991 and 19 days later the Republic of Armenia celebrates the same event. These are the events of national importance and pride.

Yerevan city is too nice in September. It is not too hot and it is not too cold, never be afraid of fall rains here: they are short and kind after which the city really smells with fresh and you feel blessed.

It is by the way the real time to be fully involved in cultural, art and entertaining events which are in their fullest swing in this month.

Aram Khachatryan music hall will host you to take part in Yerevan Music Week and to enjoy all genres of music: from rock to jazz, from classic to folk. You can be a part of many different art festivals and expos, the visitor of newly reopened theaters and cinemas, museums and art galleries, cafes and clubs.

You are lucky if you have visited Armenia especially in this month! There is a harmony in fall and a luster in the Armenian sky which through the summer is not heard or seen. Please, take time just to sit and watch the leaves turn..... and never forget to parallely read TourInfo.

Beyond that, we have packed this issue with loads of other things to do, see and eat while you’re here. Be sure check out our handy guides in Zvartnots International airport’s visitor information center.

Enjoy your stay!

September 21st A Holiday of National Pride Armenia celebrates Independence Day as a Public Holiday This usually warm autumn day has remarkable and exciting symbolism in the history of Armenia and the Armenians.

On September 21, Armenia held its referendum on independence. Almost 95 percent of the qualified voters took part, and more than 99 percent of these voters said “Yes” to the having an independent, free and selfgoverning state. For on that day the decision of the Armenian people was bold and unequivocal. For the first time in generations, Armenians were at the brink of a new beginning, and together they took a courageous leap into statehood and went out from the Soviet Union.

As a rule every year at around midday on September 21 columns of servicemen as well as tanks, military vehicles, towed artillery systems and other pieces of modern hardware parade the country’s leadership standing on a podium in Yerevan’s main Republic Square.

In the evening in different squares and concert halls of the cities of the Republic thousands of merrymakers, entertainers with famous singers and dancers celebrate Armenian Independence Day. The concerts always begin with Armenian national anthem.

TourInfo being always the part of the celebrations wishes you and the citizens of our homeland Happy Armenian Independence Day.

Alina at Wonderland ²ÉÇÝ³Ý Ðñ³ßùÝ»ñÇ ²ß˳ñÑáõÙ Alina is one of those rare people who make lemonade when life deals lemons and never lose their positivity.

She found the sense of her life due to the big love and lost the miraculous ideas about life because of the faithlessness of the same big love.

Years ago acting against her family and following the big love she started a family.

The family of the guy was against them as well, however, it was not an obstacle for them to bring little Lilitik to life on the contrary to all the difficulties.

Short time later the husband goes to work at Russia and gets married there. Today Alina moved from Wonderland to Reality where even her parents and sister do not support her and for the family of the ex husband she and her daughter are inadmissible.

Today Alina who appeared in too bad social conditions doesn’t forget of course to bring up her child believing in miracles.

Each of us with his help can try to convince Alina that she should always believe in miracles and if there is no relative who cares about her today, a stranger can be more caring.

Independence Month September Nagono-Karabakh Republic On September 2nd we also celebrate the independence of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. The flag of the independent Republic is 100 x 170cm, white with a circle in the middle made of thirteen blue triangles, symbolizing eternity and the thirteen historical capitals of Armenia. The circle surrounds the monument "We Are Our Mountains" (Menk enk mer lernere) sculpted by Sargis Baghdasarian, symbolizing longevity. The circle's colours - red, dark blue and orange - are those of the Nagorno-Karabakh national flag (also the colours of the national flag of Armenia).

The symbol of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic is the statue of "Tatik u Papik". "Tatik u Papik" (î³ïÇÏ áõ ä³åÇÏ) is in Eastern Armenian and "Mamig yev Babig" (سÙÇÏ »õ ä³åÇÏ) in Western Armenian, and it's translated as "Grandma and Grandpa". The local tradition says that the statue, built under the Communist rule, was built facing Armenia as a hidden symbol of the aspiration to reunification of Nagorno-Karabagh with Armenia.

Sergey Parajanov The Museum of a Really Interesting Armenian Sergey Paradjanov was the author of several film-masterpieces which brought him world praise: "Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors" (1964), "The Colour of Pomegranates" or "Sayat-Nova" (1969), "The Legend of Suram Fortress" (1985) and "Ashik-Kerib" (1988). Parajanov’s contribution to the art of cinema is first and foremost his original poetic film-language, highly valued by his contemporaries The museum of S. Parajanov was founded by resolution of the government in 1988, after the first exhibition of his Artworks at the State Museum of Armenian Folk Art. The basis of the museum collection constitutes 627 works of Parajanov, of which 454 were received as gifts from Parajanov himself.

Parajanov’s works - assemblages, flat and three-dimensional collages, drawings, dolls and film sketches are his distinctive reaction to life and events around him, his aesthetic perception of the world.

His drawings and collages created in prison are exhibited in separate hall.

The Artist’s work has no direct analogies in the world art and amazes with its fantasy, wit and artistry.

The use of various materials and objects imparts to it a special charm and brilliance.
