Parev!

That is how we say “hello”

here in Armenia. Shnorhagallem

for coming by! Armenian is spoken by

approximately six million people around the world.

Nearly half of those live in my country, which has a

population of 2,966,802. Look closely at the map of my

country and you will see Yerevan. This is our capital city,

and is one of the oldest cities in the world. We were the first

nation to adopt Christianity, way back in the 4th century! Our

major religions are Armenian Apostolic, Christian, and Yezidi.

Khanaghutyun to you.

Tsedesutyun, friend!!!
