As an Armenian, thanks for visiting Kond. Imo it's pretty underrated considering that some of its buildings are centuries old. Our government plans to take the entire place down and build new buildings but many are against it cuz they'll basically be wiping out a part of our history. Loved the vid. Hope you enjoyed Armenia
Thank you for the comment, I did some research on kond before heading in and can say for myself it’s completely different to how explained in some articles, very clean and very safe, and the people I came across were very nice. As for Armenia itself again heard lots of negative stuff online but it’s one of the best countries I have visited, beautiful scenery , amazing people and very safe. thank you 🇦🇲
I have been to Kond on 2 of my trips to Armenia. It is cleaner than many US cities and towns. Definitely safer than New York City. New Orleans, San Francisco etc. You won't see any garbage or litter in the streets.
Kond was fascinating never heard of it before really strange run down and falling apart yet hardly any trash in those narrow streets bizarre! If you're going out at night time you're already braver than most travel bloggers. Also those bangs were probably just kids messing about... with guns..!! stay safe big man :)
Brilliant Content Connor ⭐️ really great insight to these places and your right kond will be safer than Glasgow to walk around these days but keep up the great work 👍🏻
Cond is very old neighborhood more than two hundred years old , so its not slum or crime area. Many rich and high educated people lives in Cond for generations.
Wanted to see for myself how life can be away from the touristy areas and get a good feeling of both sides of Armenia/Yerevan. great country and would recommend anyone to visit
And next to Kond is an areas of progressive people and back in a day, kond gangsters attacked metalheads with long hair and so on. Mostly talking about soviet era. What a cool memories haha
every country has " slom" sorry for you didn't know that,, I have been in Armenia and there was absolute beautiful places and they do very well to get their standards up to EU's.. but you only see old and tiredness
Kond used to be most criminal place in 90's, now days is changed as tourist in Armenia is safe but of course when you come with peace and be respectful great content Conor great to see people from 🇬🇧 visiting back home
Id heard lots of negative comments from people before visiting Armenia and Yerevan. I felt very safe there and really enjoyed my time, would really recommend anyone to visit ! such a beautiful country and great people 👌
@ I just noticed yeah you went to Istanbul. I was just telling my buddy he’s from America as well. Well, I’m Greek Armenian, but I was born in America. I lived all my life and so for Christmas and New Year’s. I came out here. I know it very well. The language, the people and I got so much love for British people. I have a lot of British friends.
@@guccirafishagoyan5078I had a lot of people telling me bad stuff about Armenia before I went about safety/the people etc. what a pleasant surprise I had, beautiful country, didn’t feel unsafe once and the hospitality and people were fantastic 👌🇦🇲
@@ConnerTravel brother I walk around with my Rolex on my arm. It’s not like London you know like they’ll rob your ass here you can leave your car your house door open. You can have jewelry on be drunk as hell in the middle of the street. They’ll take you home bro. It’s just the one negative thing about this is expensive and they overcharge for a little ass country other than that, it’s a very beautiful place.
Yes, like to be slums, but not really😃, no druggs, no crimes, no gangs, boring😉 The safiest slums ever😃 and even they have cafe. Just old part of the city wirh interesting history👋❤
@ConnerTravel It is safe there and in general Yerevan is very safe, i think in 10 safiest countries worldwide, nevertheless one should be always careful. Have a nice time☺
You mentionedbthat we had it good in UK cos 10 in 1000 kids didnt make it to 5 in Armenia Which is 1%. But then I compared with UKs 2021 figures and calaculated it to be 2.2% dont make it to 5 in UK which is higher. That aside, good video. It looks a nice place. The thing about slagging things off is that it comes down to personal taste. Its not so much that one person is lucky and someone else isn't, its more down to what your own preferences are I would say. I know people that have moved from England to Cambodia which is a 3rd world country and told me they much prefer it to England and wouldnt move back.
I took and paid in cash in there, the place that ended up not taking cash wasn’t in kond just outside, I say in the video I gave the last of my cash to the man who gave me the juice

Good stuff Conner! Appreciate it! Subscribed!
Great work young fella, fair play to you . keep doing what what you love.
Alright, I've just discovered your channel & i'm looking forward to tuning into your posts + furutre adventures.
Keep it up Conner 👍
10/10 video mate, big channels already recognising it don’t think it’ll be long until more do!🙌🏽
This guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about and neither do you if you agree with him this is not a 10/10 video
@@shahenplavdzhyan7790what are you talking about ? This guys has done nothing but praise Armenia, it’s beauty and it’s people ?!
Yerevan it's very safety place you really don't need worry about any problems,

Interesting wee place, very eye opening to see how people live away from the ‘tourist’ areas
Brilliant Content Connor ⭐️ really great insight to these places and your right kond will be safer than Glasgow to walk around these days but keep up the great work 👍🏻
You're a liar boy
Cond is very old neighborhood more than two hundred years old , so its not slum or crime area. Many rich and high educated people lives in Cond for generations.
Pressed in so fast!!
its old but, no crime or drugs, look at those cars
Nice video Conner, get it shared on the chat if you haven't already?
THANKS
what made u go here conner ?
Wanted to see for myself how life can be away from the touristy areas and get a good feeling of both sides of Armenia/Yerevan. great country and would recommend anyone to visit
Kond also gets a bad reputation online from what I’ve read, and can say myself now after visiting that’s it’s very clean and felt very safe here
You got ripped off on the juice price, bud.
And next to Kond is an areas of progressive people and back in a day, kond gangsters attacked metalheads with long hair and so on. Mostly talking about soviet era. What a cool memories haha
Why you don't show the beautiful parts of the Armenia
I have
Armenia is one of the best countries I have visited, not one negative opinion from me 👍
This guy is a loser Armenia is one of the safest countries in the world. He has no idea what he’s talking about.
@ what are you talking about ? He has done nothing but praise Armenia’s safety, beauty and great people
@ maybe you didn’t watch the video or listen to what he’s saying
During the Soviet times many Russian mafia figures came from Kond, such as Gago the black, Ziko the saw, Babo the big ears and so on.
This area will turn to pricey prime reality in the near future with modern residential complexes, because of its close proximity to the CBD.

Hi brother if ur still in Armenia I can help you out around in Armenia iam from LA out here visiting
Unfortunately gone now mate, what an incredible place I will definitely be back one day 👌

@ 100% safer than the western countries no doubt about it
Yes, like to be slums, but not really😃, no druggs, no crimes, no gangs, boring😉 The safiest slums ever😃 and even they have cafe. Just old part of the city wirh interesting history👋❤
Definitely not as bad as the news articles say, really interesting place and probably felt safer there than my own city 😄

@@MCMPH-zc1czI agree, Armenia was extremely safe, very beautiful scenery and very nice people, I would recommend anyone to visit. Great country 🇦🇲

That’s interesting to know, Thanks for the research, definitely agree with you about the down to personal taste.
It makes no sense to visit places off the beaten path without cash! What good is a card in a modest place of business? Think, man!
I took and paid in cash in there, the place that ended up not taking cash wasn’t in kond just outside, I say in the video I gave the last of my cash to the man who gave me the juice
Almost an £8 juice but if it’s good who cares
Armenia can be expensive depends on the products, some locals take advantage of the tourists, I guess most countries do that.
After soviet union everything is stop here
That’s bullshit
This guy is a liar
Everywhere in Armenia is safe
If you actually watch you will discover I have nothing bad to say about this place, and recommend people to visit 👍
I also have nothing bad to say about Armenia, one of the best and nicest countries I have visited. Listen before commenting
@ I did watch the video and I didn’t listen. That’s why I’m commenting.
I did listen
@@shahenplavdzhyan7790not very well considering I said this place is safer than my own city
Kond is definitely not the biggest
