Galatyan, thank you for your pics.
Some of spots, I have seen at TV earlier.
About new cathedral, I have seen few discussions about building new churches in a way , like, how to maintain it's traditional style, but to make it more "modern".
This Yerevan church was named as a good example.
BTW, have you informed forumers that Yermenia was first Christian state ever?
15 years before Emperor Constantine , who declared Christianity in Roman Empire.

I noticed that Armenian wedding ceremonies -as Orthodox like us (Greeks)- have many differences

[Kuvvaci]

Armenian wedding ceremonies are too long, I think Greek one is shorter.

---------------------------------------

btw, what are those baloons for?

I have some questions about Yerevan also;
I see many constructions, and I noticed more than civil sutructures or infrasuturcture, they build big monuments. Why?

As I see from the pictures, there is fiancial gap between the people, when there are many poor houses, some rich houses are too much rich and exaggrated. Why?

I dont know that...

[Goyazny]

What significant difference in a ceremony you have found based to 2-3 pics?
Both of married has crowns at a top of theirs head. It is same in Serbian church. Guess Greek as well. I see just ,that instead two kumovi ,( best man and another bast man) who carries a candles, there is one who carries a cross.
I mean, do not take me wrong, all ceremonies are nice whatever detail is customized for an occasion .

I have been to the weddings personally. My comments are not from the pictures!

Thank you for your comment Goyazny ,
Armenia's being done in churches are often built according to the national architecture.
Saint Gregory the Illuminator Armenian Cathedral of accepting Christianity was built for 1700 anniversary .
I have not written anything about Christianity in Armenia.
As the official religion of Armenia adopted Christianity, the first world countries .

Great monuments being more Soviet tradition ,Armenian history is the 4000 annual ,From ancient times, Armenians have cherished their artistic traditions, which reflect a unique culture and landscape. Aspects of everyday life are expressed in the most artistic fashion, in needlework, embellishments, carvings and design.

Poverty and wealth in all countries of the world there is a case of distorted .same situation applies in Turkey ,Like Agri, Bingol, Mush, Bitlis, Bayburt,Shirnak, Batman,Yozgat,Kars... is very poor.
the fight against poverty are being .Our situation there is always help for Armenia, for example, Argentina Armenians made to modernize the airport in Armenia
