The question not out of mere curiosity but because of the following.
An Austrian journalist and writer Barbara Denscher who visited Armenia many times (for the first time she visited because of her husband being the head of the cultural department of the Vienna City Hall, to participate in the opening ceremony of the Vienna Music Festival held in Armenia) and sharing impressions on Armenia she said:
"My interest was caused by the fact that Armenians are very similar to us. When I flew to Yerevan for the first time I thought that everything would be completely different here. But in Armenia a big surprise awaited me. I saw that Armenians, Armenian culture are very similar to us, to our culture. In Vienna, every time I say that an Armenian is closer to us than a Portuguese. With this expression, I do not want to offend the Portuguese, just our cultures are too far from each other, different. But Armenian culture, music, literature is very close to us".
