I have never been to Armenia, but I was shocked about duduk and how many emotions a person can transmit only using a simple instrument. Duduk is the most amazing instrument ever invented.
The original and actual name of this authentic Armenian wood wind instrument (փողային գործիք in Armenian) is Ziran-a-pogh (Ծիրանափող) which loosely translates to musical Apricot Pipe. Ziran (Apricot) is the national fruit of Armenia. Also called the Armenian plum. When you add an "a" to it Ziran-a it means made of apricot tree wood. And pogh means the sound produced by wind instruments. So in short, Ziran-a-pogh translates to musical instrument made of apricot tree wood or Apricot Pipe. They are also made from walnut tree wood but those made from apricot tree wood are the best and have the warmest sound. Duduk is a pseudo-name used for this instrument in the region. For me, when I hear this instrument, it is like a sound that calls us home and no matter where we are born and raised it reminds us of our roots.
I am afraid Armenia doesn't give a good first impression to its visitors. The first most shocking thing that I encountered was at the airport currency exchange. While the prevailing exchange rate at the time of my visit was 410-415 ADMs for a Euro I was offered a meagre 310 ADMs. Another most shocking thing about Armenia are the taxi cheats at the airport and in the city. When the normal charge for a taxi from the airport to the city centre is anything between 1500-1700 ADMs I was asked 25000 (yes twenty five thousand) which I of course refused to pay. What do these taxi cheats think ? Do they think that money comes out of foreign visitors’ backside whenever they go for a shit ? Armenian authorities must do something about these taxi cheats otherwise Armenia would get a bad reputation and no one would wish to visit Armenia
@@subhaaursamI experienced this too I am a student here he told me 28,000 to take me to school from the airport, Also Armenian girls aren’t Friendly to foreigners especially blacks
@@revolverocelot2253not true, you must of just come across some females who didn't find you to be their type. I'm Armenian, my daughter's baby daddy's black and my beautiful little Armenian Nubian princess is precious for me.
@@gevo74 stop the lies , I have stayed more than a year in armenia , and all the blacks here say the same thing , so stop ✋ , Armenian woman will not even look at you if you are black , they won’t even sit beside you in the bus , This is what we blacks face here ( and if you doubt me , prove me wrong and introduce me to an Armenian friend of yours to be my friend , I bet you 100,000 drams you can’t
Hiii so nice to meet you and welcome to the community 🥰🥰 I was just recently doing research on Ethiopia 🇪🇹 and would love to visit one day ! What a beautiful country and culture
Was in lovely Armenia last month. Food is awesome, people very laid back friendly. Best was the mind blowing Parajanov Museum in Yerevan, truly a work of art.
I just randomly searched for videos about Armenia after a crossword clue said it used to be part of the USSR. I realized I only know about Armenia because of Serj Tankian. I particularly loved learning these facts from brilliant women. Thank you so much for sharing this. I don't know if you're still there but, if you are, I would love to know what practices or traditions visitors loved so much about Armenia that they will take them home or to their next country.
Really interesting vídeo. Came across your channel a few months ago and I LOVE IT. Having Armenian ancestry from my father and remembering the stories that my dad used to tell me about my great grandfather/grandmother, makes me want to visit Armenia someday. Love from Argentina ❤🇦🇷
That is why your father did another GENOCIDE by marrying Non Armenian, instead of creating 100% Armenian family, God know how many % of Armenian the kids will become 2-4 % or less May be.
@@alyyer5947 You must be a a Muslim attacking the poor kid like that. Only Turks say such things. Back off. He is more Armenian than you’ll ever know. Pendejo.
@@alyyer5947 What a stupid thing to say. Are you even Armenian. My people do not say things like ghat. People marry for love, not for ethnicity. Don't be a nazi. A person can be Armenian and feel Armenian even if (s)he is not Armenian on both sides. There are a LOT of Armenians like that. 🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲
So I visited Armenia during my east Europe trip last October and November. I did 16 countries in 9weeks. Georgia and Armenia was my pleasant surprise. Yerevan I stayed for 4days, and the most shocking for me was how first world they country felt also the drivers drive wild and crazy very similar to big cities like NYC 😅 lolz
My respect to Sirun from the USA, as one who lives outside Armenia (curently in south of Russia), I'm really glad to see such patriotic feelings toward Armenia from her.
@The Armenian Traveler the true meaning of the male name Vardan is only understandable to Indians . The name is gift of God and not a Rose :) I guess our ancestors forgot to tell us the true name of one of the most revered armenian names .
Thanks for this very interesting video! After living already for some years in Armenia, you almost don't notice those extraordinary things and habits anymore 😅
I was a Guest in Armenia during the time of the "1st Karabakh War" (1988 -- 1994). In that war, Azerbaijan was defeated, and its genocide project thwarted; unfortunately, Azerbaijan is now at it again, and is hard at work destroying Armenian Heritage Sites throughout Artsakh (a.k.a. Karabakh).
I enjoy watching your vieos, they are very well filmed and I love how honest you are when you talk about things. I'm going there this summer and I'm really looking forward to visiting Armenia🇦🇲
Loveee these interviews they are so engaging and entertaining to hear different peoples perspective. Thanks for all your Armenia content you are one of the only Armenian Content creators out there love your videos
Interesting reportage & thank you for taking your time by sharing this with us! À propos, what’s the title of the accompanying music plse? That’s so beautifully captivating 🌹
I visited Armenia last January, and I actually enjoyed it more than Turkey because it is very underrated. I also feel bad that it had lots of tragic histories in the past. I am also amazed that they have so many >1,000-yr old churches, and that although being in West Asia, they are more European in culture and politics
All my love to Armenia and the Armenian people from a North American Jew (being born, growing up, and still living in Montreal, parents born and raised in the US). The Jews and Armenians have much in common, including a history of diaspora and of genocide and persecution, as well as being gifted/educated.
I think what shocked me the most is quite boring. But I just had no idea how beautiful the place was, and until recently Armenia wasn't on my list of places to visit, and shockingly I knew hardly anything about it! Xx
A few words about Russian influence so that no questions arise from those who watch the video on this amazing channel: In fact, this is partly a business, mostly hospitality. You need to understand that over the past 2 years a lot of Russians have come to Armenia (we all know why), many without knowledge of English or Armenian. Armenians also came who did not know their native language, but are learning now. In the first days, in the places where I was, in the city center, the menu was in Armenian and English, as were the signs. Gradually they began to adapt, for which I say many thanks to the Armenian land and the Armenians. And the generations of Russians who live now will remember this warm welcome all their lives; this, if you like, is our task - to pass on this history to future generations. Secondly, you need to understand that we lived in the same country for almost the entire 20th century. Considering communist ideas and their integration into society, everyone knew Russian, the older generation speaks an excellent literary language, almost everyone. Many Armenians moved to the Russian Federation during the Soviet times, and then in the 90s. Therefore, close ties between the peoples of each country continued to develop all this time. My best school friend, with whom I sat at a desk for 8 years, is an Armenian, who ended up passing the Russian language exam best in the class in the final year of school. The young guys also know and speak Russian perfectly. I am happy that I can communicate with Armenians. Thirdly, after all, the Russian language is a popular, beautiful language, which, as it happens, is spoken predominantly by the majority in the post-Soviet space. In Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and many other countries they speak Russian, which, in my opinion, does not belong to one country, like any other language. I’m learning Armenian, and at any opportunity in the world, if I get into the Armenian community, I’ll tell you the same thing that I wrote in the text above. Sincerely. thank u for your video) intresting)
It’s really beautiful country with lovely people kind and so cheap .. I prefer to spend in Armenia 3000 euro for 1 month better than to spend 3000 euro in Paris or Amsterdam in 1 week
Hey there gorgeous I really liked your video. i am such a vibrant person based in Armenia so if you are still in Yerevan let me know or in case you need a host. Look forward to hearing from you
Indian words are similar because in the old times mughals of India and the ottomans used to trade a lot and at that time ottoman land (now turkey) were connected, India was largest producer of sugar at that time and ottomans were very fond of sweets so even today shakar is used for all the subcontinent, turkey and Armenia
Doing great!!... This was awesome video... My most shocking thing was, the Armenian food we are use to in USA is very different. I remember when I went to go meet my wife for first time and some of things she didn't know. Armenian is highly influenced by Russia. Even after many years. Armenians use a lot of Russian words that shocked me. Then the food. The food in Armenian is very similar to "soul food"... My goal is to bring real BBQ to Armenia in the near future... Another shocker was how so many don't even know our Lord's prayer. Here is United States as Armenians we are proud. I found a lot of people in Armenia struggle going to Church other than Easter and Christmas...
Striking in Armenia is not illegal. It's wrong information. Moreover, Armenia is one of few post Soviet countries where strikes and protests are very common thing.
If you drive to the mountain villages on the border with Azerbaijan, you will be fascinated by your deep faith in Jesus and the hope for peace with the neighboring country
I'm reading at other sources that it is in fact not illegal to strike in Armenia, except in case of national emergency etc., btw the current British prime minister is trying to make striking illegal in the UK in this very moment
youre right! don't listen to the comentator below. These are our unfriendly neighbours fron Azerbaijan, who attribute someone else's history to us.I think the Indian woman was also misinformed. In any case, you can clarify every information on independent websites.
@@MarmaraKazm-ld7im 300 years ago, Persians bringer some gypsy woman from Mongolia as a slave, todays Azerbaijanis are children of this slave. This is true history.
what the first girl said was also what shocked me when I visited armenia, 90% of the products they sell is written in russian why??? We are Armenians not Russians, we are no longer in soviet rule why not write the ingredients in armenian
I haven't seen anything like that in Armenia. They import some goods from Russia but even then they put stickers with Armenian text on them. In fact, in many cases they put the Armenian sticker on top of the Russian text so I cannot read it. 😱
@@Murmilone the medications there have none of what you're saying. I have to trust the people translating it from russian to armenian also not all stores there have armenian stickers with the text on the product.
All of you are wrong Sugar is a indo European word, in Sanskrit it's called sarkara and Persian shakar. It can be debatable if Sanskrit or Persian or believe it or not, even Armenian, cause of the Aryan invasion to the Indus valley. The reason why there are similar words is cause both Hindi(Iranian language branch) and Armenian fall in the indo European languages, Now as far as who took the word from who, one should look at the etymology without being biased.
I have been to Armenia 3 times. What shocked me the most was the same each time. The roadside rubbish, the littering, locals not giving a fuq about the environment, the lack of proper waste management. Everywhere you go, whether a common location or lesser known, there's litter marring your journey. Apartments have bins but usually there's a pile of household trash around the bins and overflowing the bin area. If any Hayastantsis are reading this, it's really disgusting and reduces the appeal of tourism. What message are you sending to odar tourists? Come to Armenia , great history and hospitality but please look away from the litter. Please please please pick up after yourselves. Please use bins. If there are no bins, keep your garbage in the car until you find a bin, don't just throw it out the window or leave it behind after a countryside lunch or picnic. It's not that hard to respect your homeland and the homeland of our heritage.
I have never been to Armenia, but I was shocked about duduk and how many emotions a person can transmit only using a simple instrument. Duduk is the most amazing instrument ever invented.
Wow this is so beautiful !! Thank you so much for sharing with us 🥰 I pinned it so everyone can see as well

The original and actual name of this authentic Armenian wood wind instrument (փողային գործիք in Armenian) is Ziran-a-pogh (Ծիրանափող) which loosely translates to musical Apricot Pipe. Ziran (Apricot) is the national fruit of Armenia. Also called the Armenian plum. When you add an "a" to it Ziran-a it means made of apricot tree wood. And pogh means the sound produced by wind instruments. So in short, Ziran-a-pogh translates to musical instrument made of apricot tree wood or Apricot Pipe.

I visited Armenia last January, and I actually enjoyed it more than Turkey because it is very underrated. I also feel bad that it had lots of tragic histories in the past. I am also amazed that they have so many >1,000-yr old churches, and that although being in West Asia, they are more European in culture and politics
Similarities with Spanish too: sugar (azúcar), light (luz), cat (gato) month (mes)
😀😀😀wow I had no idea
They all come from proto-Indo-European.
Sugar, sakar, sakhar, it’s in many languages very similiar . Just proves we all have common ancestors.
Same in Portuguese too.

I haven't seen anything like that in Armenia. They import some goods from Russia but even then they put stickers with Armenian text on them. In fact, in many cases they put the Armenian sticker on top of the Russian text so I cannot read it. 😱
@@Murmilone the medications there have none of what you're saying. I have to trust the people translating it from russian to armenian also not all stores there have armenian stickers with the text on the product.
Beautiful, historic Kond neighborhood on the outskirsts of Yerevan!
Sugar is neither Armenian nor Indian, it’s Arabic
Sugar originated from New Guinea, so your statement is irrelevant.
Lol 😂 You had sugar only in Desert. The sand
Correct. None of the example she gave were Armenian. All were loan words. We do, however, have many words in common.
All of you are wrong Sugar is a indo European word, in Sanskrit it's called sarkara and Persian shakar. It can be debatable if Sanskrit or Persian or believe it or not, even Armenian, cause of the Aryan invasion to the Indus valley. The reason why there are similar words is cause both Hindi(Iranian language branch) and Armenian fall in the indo European languages, Now as far as who took the word from who, one should look at the etymology without being biased.
@@johnd2550 I am definitely not wrong. Look up where sugar originated from. So bye 👋🏻
I have been to Armenia 3 times. What shocked me the most was the same each time. The roadside rubbish, the littering, locals not giving a fuq about the environment, the lack of proper waste management. Everywhere you go, whether a common location or lesser known, there's litter marring your journey. Apartments have bins but usually there's a pile of household trash around the bins and overflowing the bin area. If any Hayastantsis are reading this, it's really disgusting and reduces the appeal of tourism. What message are you sending to odar tourists? Come to Armenia , great history and hospitality but please look away from the litter. Please please please pick up after yourselves. Please use bins. If there are no bins, keep your garbage in the car until you find a bin, don't just throw it out the window or leave it behind after a countryside lunch or picnic. It's not that hard to respect your homeland and the homeland of our heritage.
