\"Armena<\/a>Yerevan, Ervan, Eruan, Irvan\u2026 each of us will utter the word in his own way: with love, a\u00a0bit disappointed or acquisitive thirst of the city. 2791 years have passed since the foundation of\u00a0our beautiful city. After so many difficulties the city has been experiencing a renaissance and\u00a0is prospering year after year. Being located on both banks of the river Hrazdan, Yerevan used\u00a0to be a town-fortress in the 9th century B.C. during the Armenian kingdom Van. Cuneiform\u00a0record left by Argishti the 1st tell the following: “In the greatness of the god Khald, Argishti,\u00a0Menua’s son, built the fortress and called it Erebuni for the power of the country of Biaini\u00a0and to enemies’ horror.” The cuneiform also records the date of Yerevan birth – 782 B.C. So,\u00a0Yerevan is older than Rome and has about the same age as Babylon, Nineveh and Persepolis.
\nOf course, we love our capital, but we\u2019ll express a deep feeling of delight after we’ve\u00a0known its roots and the history of foundation. Accordingly, we’re going to dwell on it in the\u00a0coming issues of our travel blog.<\/p>\n
