Where Europe ends: Romanian journalist's insight on Armenia's touristic attraction

YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 5, ARMENPRESS. The Romanian Premium portal has revealed the hidden secrets and treasures, as well as touristic attraction and main directions of Armenia in the vast article titled “A Reportage from Armenia, where Europe Ends”. As reports “Armenpress”, the Romanian journalist stated that although Armenia seems to be close to Romania on the map, it takes almost half of a day to get there.

According to the author, as in case of Romania, the vast majority of tourists visit Armenia seeking business purposes and only few of them are really interested in the history and religion and he wants to discover the country’s beauty from this very perspective.

Among other things, the journalist underscored: “This country, which is on the edge of Europe, hides a number of enigmas. For instance, Armenia was the first country to adopt Christianity as a state religion. The Armenians are very proud of this fact. Furthermore, they find that this can be a good impetus for the development of religious tourism.”

“Upon the arrival to the airport, one can see a number of posters and postcards with the depiction of mount Ararat on them. Moreover, the mount follows you from the 5000 meters height, when you walk on the streets of Yerevan. The Armenians say that Noah's Ark is there, and notwithstanding the mount is on the other side of the Turkish border, it has the same significance for the Armenians, as Olympus for the Greeks,” the author concludes.
