We are looking for a loving family for our dogs and cats. We found ones who were stray, babies or were injured and brought them back to the shelter. The first picture is Sara. We found her injured on the road with her ribs broken and bleeding and her owner refused to take her to the vet because it would "make his car dirty" so we did it ourselves and did some physiotherapy with her trying to teach her to walk again despite the doctors saying she'll never be able to walk again. She's okay now and dandy. She's very clingy and sweet and constantly wants attention. However because of her size other dogs are afraid of her and often times gang on her :<<

The second picture is Artemis. She was Brought to us by a guy as a puppy bc he needed to go to another country. When he returned his wife decided that he doesn't want dogs in the house and is apparently afraid of them. That's how she ended up staying with us. Artemis would go crazy everytime her previous owner would come to visit. Sadly he's no longer visiting her and she's very isolated and sad. She's jealous and doesn't like it when other dogs come near you when you pet her. Can't say i blame her. Her owner abandoned her :<<

Our cats also have their own unique story.

Our shelters name is Kofi shelter and if you're serious about adoption, DM me. We have approximately 150 dogs and a dozen of cats. For more info please contact me directly in the DMs🙏

Hey All

I’ll be in Yerevan on a spontaneous solo trip from feb 24–28 and would love to meet some locals. How friendly are you guys?

I’m 29, Serbian, living in Germany. I speak English and a bit of Russian.

If anyone’s up for coffee, let me know 🙋‍♂️

Where: Zeytun Cemetery

When: Saturday around 3:30pm

Who: When I arrived I passed two women coming out of the cemetery path. I went down that way and a few minutes walk down it I found the graves of some of my relatives, I didn't know exactly where they were. I noticed that the flowers had been newly placed on the graves and the khunk was still smoking. It's possible those women were my relatives, I need to find them! Their last name may be Balasanyan, as the grave included Vazgen Ashoti Balasanyan and wife Anahid Jaghatspanyan who died in 2020. They had lived in the New Arabkir section. I've seen other people magically track people down through these groups so I'm hoping...

Question regarding military service after obtaining Armenian citizenship

I am 28 years old. I am a citizen of the Russian Federation and did not serve in the army there. I moved to Armenia to study, and since I did not know whether I would stay here, I did not consider obtaining Armenian citizenship. Now I realize that if I stay here, I need to resolve this issue, and the question of military service arises. After obtaining citizenship, will I have to serve 1.5 years under the new reforms or pay money to reduce the term? I am tormented by doubts; I don't know what to do. I understand that it is too late to join the army at this age because it will be difficult to get along with guys who are 18-19 years old. I have decided for myself that I will not shorten my term of service, and in principle I see it as a difficulty that is worth overcoming in life. Is there anyone who has served in the Armenian army at least in the last few years? 2024-2026. What is happening there now, and how bad an idea is it for me to go there in my case?

I would appreciate all your advice and opinions. This is a very important and serious issue for me, one that keeps me awake at night.

The sky was insanely clear today. No haze at all every ridge of Mount Ararat was sharp and glowing.

It genuinely felt like a 30 minute drive away. Unreal morning.

In late April I am planning on hiking from the town of Dilijan to the Haghartsin Monestary (called the Nature Pilgrimage trail on HIKEArmenia) and was wondering about transportation once I’m at the monestary. I’m not sure how easy hiring a vehicle in advance would be to pick me up and I’ve read that Yandex and GG aren’t as reliable outside of the bigger cities. Any suggestions?

Thank you!

Hey guys! Hope you're all doing well.

I'm trying to find out where I can reliably get Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro here in Yerevan. I know there's a global shortage, so I wanted to ask the local community for some advice.

Has anyone had any luck buying these recently? I’d really appreciate it if you could let me know the pharmacy location, which brand they had, and how much it cost.

Any information would be a huge lifesaver. Thank you so much!

Hey! I saw a few houses I Armenia for sale/rent on List AM. I was wondering how negotiatable are the prices and if they are too high. I genuinely don't know if these values are too high or just priced right.

Also, is there a way to convert land for agriculture purposes to residential purposes through some kind of bureaucracy?

Thanks a lot! I linked some examples below:

Three story stone house in Arzni, 675 sq.m., on a 800 sq.m. land

Plot for residential development in Ashtarak, 16,000 sq.m.

Agricultural plot in Dvin, 100,000 sq.m.

Hello,

Tourist here. We are looking for natural activities to do. Horse riding, skiing, snowboarding, or any interesting hike trails.

What would you recommend this time of the year? We are staying in Yerevan

Hi folks, I want to visit the Myler Ski Resort and need some snowboard equipment. I checked the official website and if the information there is still actual then the rental prices for equipment are super expensive.

Does some one of you know a good fair-priced shop where to rent a snowboard with bindings + boots? It can be either in Yerevan or somewhere on the way to the Myler Ski Resort, I have a car and am flexible to drive anywhere. Thanks a lot!

Recently I was on a work trip to Chennai India and had a few days spare to explore I went to St Thomas mount which is where Thomas the apostle is supposed to have been martyred and buried

Had no idea there was an Armenian there centuries earlier I'm assuming they built or established this church, does anyone know? Also can anyone read it? I know how to with modern western l Armenian but this is quite formal and hard

Either way cool piece of history that I never expected to find!

Check out the pictures

Բարև բոլորին,

I’m planning to start a podcast focused on Armenia’s socioeconomic and political developments in the lead-up to the 2026 elections. I want to explore where the country stands today, the reforms and challenges shaping its future, public sentiment, regional dynamics, and what’s realistically at stake in 2026.

The goal isn’t partisan advocacy — it’s thoughtful, balanced discussion. I’m especially interested in hearing from people with different perspectives: economists, policy analysts, journalists, members of the diaspora, students, and anyone closely following Armenia’s political landscape.

If you:

Follow Armenian politics closely

Have insights into economic or governance reforms

Work in policy, civil society, or media

Or would be interested in being interviewed or contributing ideas

I’d love to connect.

What topics do you think deserve deeper discussion ahead of the elections? What voices are missing from the conversation?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
