Stones
SYMPHONY OF F
Garni Canyon lies across the length of the Azat (Garni) River and its confluent Goght. The canyon is attractive for the wonderful natural rocks, formed of regular hexagonal cylinders. These rocks start from the beginning up to the highest point of the canyon. The composition is called “Symphony of Stones” or “Basalt Organ”. In 2013 World Tourism Organization summed up the results of the competition for the best tourist poster ''Vettor Giusti'' which is held once in two years. According to the rules, a poster was represented from each country, and usually organizations, representing UNWTO, organize photo-competition to choose the bester photo for partaking in the international contest ''Vettor Giusti''. As a result of online voting world chose Armenia to become the winner, and the poster represented by Armenia was considered to be the best in territory of Europe. The fact, that Armenia became the first in the territory of Europe had been posted on the official web page of UNWTO for two years, until the next session of UNWTO. The poster was displayed at the entrance hall of the UNWTO building in Madrid and was viewed on the UNWTO website until 2015. You can visit the site on your way to Garni and Geghard and take your memorable p photo.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL
Women's Day W
''…The Lord God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. The man said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, because she was taken out off Man.'' Genesis 2.22 International Women's Day commemorates the movement for women's rights. While the first observance of a Women's Day was held on February 28, 1909 in New York, March 8 was suggested by the 1910 International Women's Conference to become an "International Women's Day." After women gained suffrage in Soviet Rusia in1917, March 8 became a national holiday there. The day was then predominantly celebrated by the so ciialistmovement and communist countries until it was adop pted in 1975 by the United Nations and became an Intern national holiday.In Armenia it is traditional to honor the w women (wife, mother, aunt, sister, girlfriend, female colleagues) with gifts such as chocolate and flowers. But this is not the end of the stor y. Approximately a month later on April 7, we celebrate Motherhood and Beauty day thus having a whole month devoted to lovely female creatures. Stores and restaurants offer discounts and big promotions. There are a huge number of special events all around the countr y. The air is filled with love and respect towards the women without whom the world would be colorless and deser ted. Actually, we don't need a special day or month to love our mothers, sisters or girlfriends. We should embrace them with love and compassion all year round. They should feel our attention and care ever y single moment, as they make the life more beautiful and bright…
''This is a man's world But it would be nothing, nothingWithout a woman or a girl…''

The Travelling Season HAS JUST
BEGUN‌
Follow the tips to have a safe and sound trip in and around Armenia!
A
re you just a curious traveler or a representative of the Armenian tremendous Diaspora? Armenians are well prepared to welcome every single visitor and embrace with warm and hospitable treatment. Armenia is rather tourist-friendly country which provides various webs to surf and highlight the places of interests in and around the country. Moreover, tourist agencies inside and outside the capital city Yerevan are always ready to offer you guided tours and trips as well as to take care of your accommodation in hotels or apartments.If you are an individual traveler trying to discover the country which is off the beaten track, this information will be helpful for you. Knowledge of Armenian or Russian is certainly helpful, while there are also enough English-language speakers who can help you around. The great number of restaurants and hotels will solve your accommodation and food issues. To decrease the level of cultural shock, prepare your mind for new experiences and try to keep an open mind. Actually, while talking about travelling, each of us thinks about the safety at first. Yerevan is known as of the safest cities in the world. Apart from the occasional older person asking for a handout, you are not likely to be approached by shady characters. Though there may be such crime incidents as auto theft or break-ins, nevertheless, tourists are rarely targeted. In Yerevan even women can confidently walk alone in the main areas at night without being afraid of getting attacked. However, try to avoid walking through the deserted areas at night and while travelling by taxi alone sit in a backside if you are a female. If in any case you become a victim of a crime, file a report in one of the police divisions and for sure they will help you. via QR code

Makenyats monastery
Month ?
Mount Azhdahak This tour to the highest point of Geghama mountains and the third highest mount in Armenia - Mount Azhdahak (3597m) considered as one of the most popular among mountain and hiking tours in Armenia. Most of the year Azhdahak Mount is covered with snow, but the slopes are smooth and quite passable. The top of the mount offers scenic views of the surrounding mountains and the lake, formed in the crater of the mountain.
The 9th–13th century Armenian monastery located 5 kilometers south of Lake Sevan in the village of Makenis in Gegharkunik marz (region). The monastery was founded in 851 with the construction of the central S. Astvatsatsin Church by Prince Grigor Supan II, the son of Princess Mariam. 20 TOURINFO MAGAZINE
Amberd The 7th-century fortress located 2,300 meters (7,500 ft) above sea level, on the slopes of Mount Aragats at the confluence of the Arkashen and Amberd rivers in Aragatsotn marz (region). The name is translated as a "fortress in the clouds".
Saghmosavank The 13th-century Armenian monastic complex located in the village of Saghmosavan in the Aragatsotn marz (region). Like Hovhannavank monastery which is five kilometers south, Saghmosavank is situated atop the precipitous gorge carved by the Kasagh river.
Blue Mosque
At the crossroads of cultures A
Armenia has been under the rule of many Muslim rulers who have dominated this land for hundreds of years. Persians were one of them and presently, the Blue Mosque is the only surviving Shia mosque in Yerevan. The exact origins of the mosque can't be traced, but the construction started in 1764 and was completed within the same decade. The construction is believed to be commissioned by Hussein Ali Khan, the local governor. The mosque was to serve as the main Friday mosque. The portal and the minaret were decorated with fine tile work. The central court had a fountain with cells around it. It was also surrounded by elm trees. The construction years featured a period of Persian dominion over Yerevan and Eastern Armenia. Back then Yerevan was a provincial town with a population of 20,000 inhabitants. As a result of the Russo-Persian 1827-1828 wars, both Yerevan and Eastern Armenia appeared under the direct rule of the Russian Empire. After the treaty of Turkmenchay was signed Arax River was recognized as the boundary between Russian zone of direct influence and Iran. Notably, it’s true even today since Arax makes up the actual borders between Southern Armenia and Iran. As to the establishment of the Russian rule in 1827, the Blue Mosque became the largest of its eight functioning mosques. During the Soviet era, the mosque stopped its services and housed the History Museum of Yerevan. Following Armenia's independence, the mosque was renovated with the support from the Iranian government and again started acting as a mosque, mostly for Iranians residing in the country. It is currently the only active mosque in Armenia. In the latter half of the 1990s the mosque underwent a total restoration, funded by Iran that was completed in 1999. United States Department of State employee and foreign service officer Brady Kiesling referred to the restoration as "structurally necessary but aesthetically ambiguous.'' The restoration raised concerns among some officials in the Republic of Azerbaijan as the mosque was presented as an Iranian mosque, which in Azerbaijan is claimed as belonging to the heritage of the once large ge Azerbaijani community of Armenia. Islamic religious services have no ow resumed within the Blue Mosque, which is the only operating mosque in Armenia. The Museum of the City of Yerevan is now housed in a purpose-built building on another site. The mosque's ownership was given to Iran in 1995 by Yerevan city authorities. Nowadays the Mosque is attracting not only Muslim tourists but also locals and foreigners as a good example of national tolerance. 22 TOURINFO MAGAZINE

OPEN-AIR ART MARKETS
In Yerevan
The Vernissage
Looking for a great number of souvenirs from Armenia? The Vernissage open-air market is a place where you can purchase everything from oil paintings to showerheads. Originally the market was a place where local artists could show their work to public. The word Vernissage is borrowed from French and means a private display held before the opening of an art exhibition. When crowd gathered to view the paintings, local merchants found an opportunity to sell their own wares thus making the outdoor space a ''super market'' selling a wide variety of items. Although the market operates throughout the week, the main action is at the weekends. The market starts by the Republic Square metro station and runs all the way to Khanjyan Street showcasing venders of everyday items (plumbing supplies, remote controls, both new and used tools), artwork, embroidered rugs, jewelry, carpets, backgammons, chess, musical instruments, etc. The locals go to Vernissage to pick up some household items or look through the huge collection of books. What refers to tourists, they purchase souvenirs and gifts. Actually, it is typical to bargain at the Vernissage. Many of the sellers speak both English and Russian.
Saryan Park Sar yan Park is located in front of the Opera House. It is named after Martiros Sar yan who was one of the greatest artists of the 20th centur y- a prominent master of color. Sar yan’s paintings, created with bright saturated colors, reveal new artistic sensibility, giving the chance to understand, that art is not just imitation of reality. The park boasts a number of paintings drawn by modern artists exhibited and sold on the spot. Statue of Sar yan is located in the center of the park; the author is Levon Tokmajyan, the architect is Artur Tarkhanyan. It was erected in 1986. 28 TOURINFO MAGAZINE
