My time in Georgia is up, to renew it I decided to go to another Soviet country. In this video we will go to Yerevan, Armenia. As always, I will drink coffee, pat cats and dogs, hate Russia and use humour to cope. So let's explore the streets of Erevan and see what we will find!

Armenia is a landlocked country in the Armenian Highlands of West Asia. It is a part of the Caucasus region and is bordered by Turkey to the west, Georgia to the north and Azerbaijan to the east, and Iran and the Azerbaijani exclave of Nakhchivan to the south. Yerevan is the capital, largest city and financial center. Modern Armenia comprises only a small portion of ancient Armenia, one of the world’s oldest centres of civilization. At its height, Armenia extended from the south-central Black Sea coast to the Caspian Sea and from the Mediterranean Sea to Lake Urmia in present-day Iran. Ancient Armenia was subjected to constant foreign incursions, finally losing its autonomy in the 14th century CE. The centuries-long rule of Ottoman and Persian conquerors imperiled the very existence of the Armenian people. Eastern Armenia was annexed by Russia during the 19th century, while western Armenia remained under Ottoman rule, and in 1894-96 and 1915 the Ottoman government perpetrated systematic massacres and forced deportations of Armenians. The portion of Armenia lying within the former Russian Empire declared independence on May 28, 1918, but in 1920 it was invaded by forces from Turkey and Soviet Russia. The Soviet Republic of Armenia was established on November 29, 1920; in 1922 Armenia became part of the Transcaucasian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic; and in 1936 this republic was dissolved and Armenia became a constituent (union) republic of the Soviet Union. Armenia declared sovereignty on August 23, 1990, and independence on September 23, 1991.

Thank you for this little tour of Armenia. I'm an American and kind of pathetically these were really the first images from Armenia I'm aware of seeing. I enjoyed that and your commentary. Also was curious about the numbers of seemingly homeless cats and dogs rather peacefully wandering the streets. Best of luck to you in all your endeavors.
@solconcordia4315
@solconcordia4315 10 месяцев назад
I'm not so sure that these are "homeless" cats and dogs because they may just be community-owned Socialist cats and dogs with multiple castles and palaces to retire to in which they spend parts of their time getting a backrub here, a bone there, etc. My son's cat was apparently such a community cat. (owning multiple humans)

@solconcordia4315
@solconcordia4315 10 месяцев назад
Maybe she's thinking of Russia where swings seem to be quite common. Swings were time-shared in the district I grew up in: 100 cycles of swinging for each kid waiting in line. I was stymied because it was more like a wriggle to me: nothing to push against ! 😂 Here's why I appreciate having a Big Brother: push, push, more, more, higher !

I suspect that these so-called "stray" dogs are actually living closer to the lifestyle of their ancestors. They probably serve as community sentinels in mountainous areas such as the Caucasus. My first baby picture taken with a companion was with a completely black 🐕nobody and everybody owned. We were living in a garrison shantytown by Phoenix Creek under a mountain range.

Why are these Armenian street-living dogs so chill and friendly? Street dogs in other countries have a reputation of being aggressive and dangerous... Is it the Armenian people who are friendly to the dogs and treat them well? There is maybe a Life lesson in that... 🙂
@solconcordia4315
@solconcordia4315 10 месяцев назад
I believe that it's mostly due to societal culture influencing their dogs. These are probably community dogs owned by nobody as well as everybody. The capitalist dogs are far more territorial and bark at strangers (who are nearly everybody not in their small friend-circle).
