Armenia is a very beautiful country. It
is a small rocky country but in its small size it holds a diverse geography.
It is a country to visit, from Meghri to Alaverdi. Every Christian should
visit its stone built ancient churches. These images will give you a sense
of what you would see when you go there but it cannot convey the feeling
of being there. Nothing can convey the feeling without actually being
there. You can touch the stonewalls of the ancient churches, travel in
time and feel the devoted people who built them and worshiped there only
by being there.
Here I have tried to present to the viewer some virtual reality panoramic images from the city to the ancient church. I must thank many, including Hrand, Samvel, Arev, Alicia, Tatevik,
Ani Mirzoyans and Karen Petrosyan who helped me in this effort. I want
to thank Ashot in particular who was with me almost everywhere. © Albert Yeznaian |
