It is famous for its belfry of six. The Church, also called the Armenian Church of Virgin Mary, is located on the Armenian Street in the neighbourhood of George Town.

    The Russians and Armenians are good Christian people (for the most part haha) and will continue to have a thriving relationship together even after this "break up".

Instead of brahmos sale of shorya, dhruvastra, etc short range low cost missile would be more beneficial for them as they don't need much range for their operations. And one thing they absolutely need is VSHORAD which is portable air defence to counter helicopter, drones, jets flying low to avoid radar detection. Another great system from them would be prahar missile system and parlay system which has range of 200 and 500 km respectively, but will india provide these missile to armenia remains a question as the weapon india have provided are not highly complicated systems expect the radar but these missile system would be another talk altogether.
