Armenia Is a Wonderland – Rockwell Kent

“Armenia is a wonderland… If asked where any more miracles can be found on our planet, I would name, first of all, Armenia…

One can hardly be surprised that in such a small corner of the world, one can meet such monuments and such people that can become an ornament and an object of pride for the whole world.

Let the land of Armenia, the cradle of talent, the cradle of great accomplishments be glorified thrice.”

Vigen Avetisyan
