Travel Erstwhile USSR

Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic

When you think of Armenia, one does slightly drift into history and its Bolshevik past. Politically it has had troubled relationships with Turkey and Azerbaijan but does maintain a friendly rapport with its neighbors, Georgia, Russia and Iran. Formerly a constituent of USSR, it came into its own in 1991. Due to its active political past, one things sure, that stepping into Armenia will help you value cultural diversity because the nationals here boast of multiple races. Certainly the people here have picked up cues from the past and manage a very cordial present. With its ottoman past, you’ll still see vivid traces of art and past cultures thriving in modern day society.
