Yerevan among 16 oldest cities of Europe: The Telegraph
14:47, 11 April 2015
YEREVAN, 11 APRIL, ARMENPRESS: The British The Telegraph made up the list of 16 oldest cities of Europe, where the capital of the Republic of Armenia, Yerevan, is included. Armenpress reports that the author of the article states that while many of the world's oldest cities, settled around the Fertile Crescent in the Middle East, are off-limits to travelers at present, Europe's most ancient settlements are very much open to visitors.
Speaking about Yerevan, the author says that the city was built in 782 BC. “Some 30 years before Rome was founded, the city that is now Armenia's capital was serving as an important stop along the caravan routes from Asia to Europe. It was invaded by Assyrians, Romans, Byzantines, Persians, Arabs, Seljuks, Mongols and Turks. Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the capital of the Republic of Armenia has seen the growth of cultural institutions (it is home to a bewildering number of museums). Tourism is also developing slowly – handful operators currently offer guided trips to the country”, writes The Telegraph.
