What's Armenia like?

It's definitely a country I'd like to visit some day. What's it like getting there though? Do you have to fly from Moscow and is it a safe place, there isn't too much trouble with Azeris or Kurds is there?

You can read this interesting blog of an Englishman who traveled to Armenia. Below are some pictures of Armenia from that blog.

By the way Armenia is a very safe country. But do not stay in Armenia too long and do not make friends with Armenians cos you will miss it and not forget forever. As an Australian woman (non-Armenian) who had lived for a while in Armenia with her family and wrote in her blog:

Early in the week I found out a dear friend had made a short documentary about repatriating to Armenia. My husband translated for me as we watched. It left me an emotional wreck. What she was saying about the feeling of living in Armenia was exactly how I feel. Tears flowed, emotions that had been pushed down rose up and erupted.

This had followed a trip to the shops the previous weekend, where I had that familiar overwhelming feeling that I don’t want to be here, that I want to be living where I feel at peace and where I feel home is – Armenia. It’s a feeling that has never left me, and only becomes stronger since our return to Australia at the end of 2005.
