THE PINK CITY ARMENIA

Armenia is often being called a museum under the open air, and Yerevan is often regarded as a pink city. The reason of it is that most of the buildings of Yerevan are made of the Armenian special stone, called tuf. Tuf is volcano stone, it has light colors such as pink, light pink, or creamy. So here is Armenia with its capital Yerevan. Yerevan is older than most of the modern countries, it is known to be older then Rome and it  has a unique culture, long and difficult history and  delicious cuisine. As mentioned above Armenia has a really old history and to able to open the door of it and take look at it, one firstly has to open the doors of Yerevan. Here is a list of a number of beautiful, mysterious old and new doors.  

Let’s start with old ones. This is a really old building of Yerevan, built especially in old Armenian traditional style. As you can see, the door is white, it has some nice vibes on it, so we can guess that this house belonged to a noble person.

This one looks more dates and in fact it is much older than the previous one.

  
This one is a really extraordinary door and reminds a little bit of Greece. The white walls, the narrow resembles Greece and Greek style. This door is on Saryan Street.

 This one is a building of Yerevan which stands out in its style in the whole of Yerevan. As you see it is mostly pink and gives a nice scene to this street, which is Nalbandyan. Here you are welcome to our little pink city, Yerevan.
As mentioned above Armenian nation represents one of the oldest civilizations in the world, sharing along history, old culture and having gone through many and many things throughout its history. At this point there is even an expression “Armenian eyes” which means eyes that have seen a lot. Unfortunately, not many people know about Armenia today, but Armenia was not as small in territory as it is now. Once it was a big kingdom alongside with Roman Empire. 
As Armenian geographically lies between Europe and Asia, all the powerful conquers have tried   to invade and to conquer Armenia, Muslims tried to make Armenians change their religion. Of course, some of them took the major part of Armenian lands, but they could not break Armenians. Today we still have Armenia, much smaller then It must have been but however, Armenia still exists.
Today it the 101 anniversary of the Armenian Genocide committed by the Turkish government. They have committed a horrendous slaughter against Armenians by killing 1.500000 Armenians in cold blood. Turkey does not even recognize the Armenian Genocide.  It is a crime, for which Turkey must be responsible for and the whole world must recognize Armenian genocide, because first of all the denial of Armenian genocide caused the other genocides, such as The Jews genocide.  Let’s refer to Hitler’s words “Does anyone remember the Armenian Genocide now? We can kill Jews, no one will care”.
