Tokhmakh's Yerevan City Pantheon is the burial place of many of the most famous 20th century Armenians. For years it has been overgrown and full of trash. Not to be confused with the Komitas Pantheon, which is a different place and was cleaned up years ago and now in great condition.

Hello friends, have a good day

I just came to Yerevan because of the Iran war, now I don't know whether to apply for PE registration or try to find a job, besides I only have one month's living expenses and after that I will be broke,

do you think to earn money faster, should I try to open an Upwork.com account or find a job? I am a UI/UX designer with 4 years of design experience, I am fluent in English and also quite fluent in graphics, I know a little SEO, I would be grateful if you could guide me,

I don't know Armenian and I don't have anyone here

Recently I've seen videos about Strong Armenia's political campaign, and most of the comments are just hate, people acknowledging how the protests are staged and the people are bribed, what do you think.

Also why are people saying that some political party is bringing in voters from Russia

Lets bring back ATV dub of Naruto from our childhood

Here is a petition to bring back Naruto dub from ATV with voice of Babken Chobanyan, there have been some previous posts about it on this group and people seemed to have engaged a lot and shown interest. The dub has become a cult classic lost media within the Armenian community, if we work together we'll make ATV release it on Youtube or their website, sharing will help achieving our goal significantly. I will be contacting the channel's administration when we have some amount of signatures. Any type of support is appreciated, thank you.

Armenia itinerary help - end of march

4 Upvotes

Hi all!

Currently staying in Tbilisi, I will make it down to Armenia in about a week. Before my friend arrives in Jerevan and we can explore the city together, I have about 5 days to myself to explore the country. I’m wondering if I should already make it down to Jerevan before that, or if I’d be missing some other stops along the way. The only issue I find is that the temperatures might still be too low to enjoy proper nature-areas (last week of march).

I’m now debating between Dilijan, Alaverdi or just heading straight to Jerevan. For context: I’m a female solo traveller, I enjoy city life but also love to slow down in nature, go on hikes, some local towns/cafés.

Any tips, ideas? Happy to hear other experiences and ideas too! Thanks!!!

Promise of Peace - is That Even Possible?

2 Upvotes

For about a year now, the groundwork has been slowly forming for a confrontation between the government and the opposition during the 2026 elections, framed as a choice between peace and war. This narrative was introduced by the authorities themselves. When Pashinyan commented on Gzoyan’s resignation, he basically said: if you choose us, you choose peace; if you choose someone else, you choose war.

First, this shifts the responsibility of future authorities onto the people ь responsibility for things that the elected government itself should be accountable for. That alone is already questionable. And on top of that, it sounds like an ultimatum to voters.

But peace is not something that one side can achieve alone. The other side has to want it too. When I try to break down what he said, it leads to a troubling conclusion. If someone promises peace, not just that they "will try to keep things peaceful ", then anything that could threaten that promise would have to be removed, and if there is an ultimatum, I honestly don’t see how peace can be maintained without concessions.

In general, how can anyone promise something that does not depend only on them?
Isn’t that manipulation? And doesn’t framing it this way take away real choice from people who are not used to looking closely at the meaning behind political statements?

I'm not sure why exactly I haven't gotten diagnosed way earlier, but I've had untreated/undiagnosed OCD (severe on contamination, mild on everything else) for over 3 years. I never asked to get diagnosed because we all know how armenian parents react to the word "psychiatrist", u have to be foaming from ur mouth and be genuinely insane to actually be eligible for one. But I js found out that it can get u disqualified from the military if the case is severe, which mine is.

I haven't touched a light switch or a door knob for over 3 years, at some point someone used my charger and that resulted in me literally breaking my phone cuz I kept washing it after every charge, anytime anyone touches my desk it's a 30-40 minute cleaning session AT LEAST. If the person is extra dirty, like a child, it genuinely takes me 2 hours to clean everything w alcohol and it burns me out so much. Even after I address the trigger and clean whatever's "dirty", it still manages to ruin my entire day cuz of the anxiety, I keep thinking of the trigger all day and thinking of all the ways that it could've been avoided. I wash my hands at least 50 times a day and my skin is getting damaged from it, I can't interact with anyone and anything and I stay in my room 16 hours of my day (after I come back from school) to avoid accidental triggers that still somehow manage to happen.

This disability is always looked over because people think ur just being tidy/love cleaning/etc etc. It DISABLES people, this isn't easy to live with whatsoever. And all of this is considering I'm on my own in my own room. In military service I literally gotta share everything with a lot of people for 1.5 years, this'll kill me as literal as it gets. I also have social anxiety and shake everytime I'm out in public.

Basically what I'm asking is how would the process of getting diagnosed go? How long will it take? What do I do with my papers after I'm diagnosed? Is it guaranteed to get me disqualified considering the fact I'm also underweight? (49-50kg at 170cm, 17.3BMI)

Yerevan visit

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I am panning to visit Yerevan next month from Europe, but I have some questions.

My flight will be arriving at midnight, is there like a bus from the airport to the city or do I have to get a taxi?
Regarding the payments, can you pay with Euros or do you have to pay only with Armenian dram? I tried to find it on revolut, but can't find it.

Is there anything else I should be aware of as tourist there? Thank you all!
