- Armenia is in many ways an enigma: a strongly Christian country (and the world's first to adopt Christianity as the state religion) yet ruled for most of the last 2,000 years by outsiders who were not Christian; a country where the symbol of Mount Ararat is omnipresent even though the Biblical mountain is now in Turkey; a country where the cooking is Middle Eastern although the street life is southern European; a country of highly educated people who end up tending sheep - or emigrating; a country whose language employs a unique 39-letter alphabet; a country whose capital was founded 29 years before Rome.

I have tried to help visitors make sense of this bewildering jumble of impressions. The second edition has been fairly extensively rewritten to provide more information and a good many more plans have been included. For those with limited time, a group tour round the standard sights may be satisfactory, but for anyone who wants to understand more - and to experience some wonderful home cooking - I strongly recommend homestays and off-the-beaten-track places. However, whatever the choice, it is unlikely that Armenia will disappoint."
