Hi Everyone,

I had the pleasure of visiting Armenia with my wife, parents and in-laws and spent the whole of last week there. We are Indian citizens living in the UAE. We are also Muslim.

During our trip, we stayed 5 nights in Yerevan and 2 nights in Dilijan. We have traveled to Turkey, Azerbaijan and Georgia earlier this year and by all accounts, we had the best time in Armenia. Your country is absolutely beautiful and the Armenians, even more. Seriously, of all the places we visited, the people of Armenia were the nicest to us. Usually people are racist to us, but everyone seemed to be happy to learn that we are Indians and wanted to strike up conversations with us.

Dilijan is the most beautiful place I’ve ever traveled to and I’m already missing it so much. I noticed that a lot of the population are elder folks and I think they are absolutely adorable and such sweethearts. Even the street animals are so friendly, my phone has more photos of them than my wife (yeah, she resents me for that).

The only negative experiences we’ve had are with a couple of Yandex Drivers that were rude to us, but it’s fine.

We also got to learn a lot about the genocide it really breaks my heart that it happened. One day I hope that the Armenian genocide gets recognized the same way people recognize the holocaust. I pray for peace between the nations and ultimately the people.

There’s a lot that I could say about Armenia, but I’ll stop with this. Thank you, for welcoming us into your country and for treating us so well. We love your country and your people.

Never change.
