Overall

The absuridity of Yahoo travel polling is just this: I or anyone else, whether they went to Yerevan or not, can write anything they want and tilt the rating in any way. Armenia and Azerbaijan are in a conflict over land historically held by both and now held by Armenia--how many negatives in this rating are simply disgruntled Azeris, and how many actually experienced the country? Would we ever know? Yahoo--your system is ludicrous and unreliable. Yerevan is-- like any world city--both great and sad. It has the best and worst of humanity, and a cosmpolitan atmosphere some love and some hate. Nost importantly it is over 2800 years old, making it the oldest continously inhabited city in the Near East after the levant. Yerevan's best is its cafes and people, genuinely warm, friendly (despite the obviosu propaganda in an earlier review) they like Americans, as many live in America as in Armenia, and they are on the hustle to a better life. Armenia's best is in and out of the country, go to web sites like tourarmenia.info or cilicia.com to get a real picture of Yerevan.
