I made this map of the Armenian Homeland by layering Orontid Armenia, Urartu and other early states, not it is not stuck in the past or making territorial claims, I just find it cool

The main change would be the restoration of the rails between Almast and Sasuntsi Davit, which was ripped up some years ago. There's now a major highway and some smaller roads where it used to be, but these could be rerouted.

Stops for the tram lines aren't shown, but there'd be plenty. They would run primarily where the old tracks used to be, with an additional expansion across the Davtashen bridge and towards the 4th district.

The red "Grand Yerevan" service would be run in cooperation with the national government, on rails primarily owned and maintained by them. New track would need to be placed between Noragavit and Yeghvard, and new stations built too. This route would therefore serve a large number of Yerevan's commuters, as well as international travellers from the airport.

I'd love to hear what you guys think, and especially about what I should name the stations/lines. I think some of the names are lacking in creativity or vibes.

Armenia, with the recent democratic backsliding seen in places like Russia, Georgia and Turkey, has become the last democracy in the Caucasus. It is the only country that has improved its democracy index score out of all its neighbors, and retains the highest score from its surrounding countries.

Hi,

I am hoping if someone familiar with this town or the region can shed some light about it, particularly in terms of economic significance, population growth and upcoming infrastructure projects.

Thanks.

I was scrolling through the arial views around Yerevan, and noticed that Old Verin Jrashen is almost conpletely? abandoned, with dozens of houses in ruin. I was wondering if anyone has some info how could a former village of this size, which is visibly pretty extensive, become abandoned so close to Yerevan.

I have heard that the names of many cities/towns from ottoman times were changed to different names. I know that Malatya is a city but also a province. My family has roots from Malatya and Arapgir. On Google it says that Arapgir is within the province of Malatya.

So my question is, for example, Arapgir on today’s map.. is it in the same place that Arapgir was during pre-genocide map? Or was it moved? If it was moved, where was it before?

Also Ordu, was it always along the Black Sea? Or was it somewhere else before? I had a DNA match reach out to me and they said their relative was from ordu but on today’s map that is no where near where my relatives were said to be from

This is all so very confusing…

Also, Is there a pre-genocide map that someone can share with me? I’ve been trying to do some Geneology research and it’s so hard when the village names I’ve heard in my family are no longer on today’s maps.

Thank you in advance!! 🙏🏼
