  • In this video, I take a walk through a long tunnel in Yerevan that dates back to Soviet times. On my way to the Genocide Memorial, a friendly taxi driver offered me homemade vodka.
    While at the Blue Mosque, I had the pleasure of meeting a wonderful person named Lena. And to top it off, I tried some incredibly expensive pomegranate juice!

    Bro, this is not a scam; it is expensive juice, Check the menu in in front of that place (seen in the video) small orange juice - 1000 dram, small Pomegranate 4000 dram, big one 5000 drams, it is just expensive juice.

      Their other juices didn't look that bad for the price. If you want some good food check out (Tun Lahmajo) ; if you want to have a little drink (Calumet Ethnic Lounge) or since you are from Belgium (Dargett Craft Beer) ; a little coffee or food in a vintage place check out (Mirzoyan Library).

    You are addressing it as "scam" as if it is so common around Yerevan, while I understand it is clickbait for your video, and it is something outrageous for you which you had encountered, it only leaves a false impression on people who have no idea about the safety or trustworthiness of such a small country. If you said "beware of this scam in Paris, France," nobody would really care about the scam and the reputation of the country. But in Armenia's case, it (the thumbnail) might have played a role, as people might not have even clicked on your video, but memorized something unpleasant... Although, I also noticed you have another video titled as "everyone must visit Yerevan, Armenia." Regardless, it felt like as if nothing else mattered for you in your video, but the "scam." And also an advice from me as an experienced traveler, always check prices before you make a purchase.

    Whatever you see in so called Armenia are build after they were settled in Irevan khanate, Western Azerbaijan by Russia. All Azerbaijanis were forced to leave and their historical heritages were destroyed and these buildings were build on them. Only Blue Mosque remains and they represent it as a Iranian mosque... The old churches are Albanian heritage and no connection to current Armenia
