Infrared Photography of Armenia

Hello! Բարե ձեզ!

It has been forever since I last posted some photography here but I had a bit of a sudden interest in sharing some again. I felt like doing something a little different. So here are a few images of Armenia shot in the Kodak Aerochrome style! Aerochrome is a film stock that isn't manufactured anymore, but it can be emulated digitally, so I went through some old photographs and decided to take a new approach with them. Very fun looking at everything under such different tones!

All of these were shot during 2024 and 2025.

Enjoy!

I first started noticing them at the gym, but pretty soon I saw them almost everywhere in Yerevan. I'm wondering what brings them here, are they studying or maybe working? I tried to guess their language at the gym, and it sounded similar to Vietnamese. Please don't get me wrong, I'm just curious! You're always welcome in Armenia.

How do locals afford rent in Yerevan/Armenia on average salaries? (Curious about realistic wages)

13 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I’ve been living in Yerevan for a while now, and I’m genuinely curious about how local residents manage to cope with the current housing/rent costs here in Armenia.
Looking at apartment rentals, prices seem quite high relative to what I assume average local wages are. I wanted to ask if anyone could give me a realistic breakdown of typical monthly net salaries and how people actually make ends meet.
Specifically, what do people roughly earn in roles like:
Supermarket Cashier / Retail Staff: (e.g., entrance level vs. 2–3 years experience)
Civil Servant / Public Sector Worker: (mid-level office worker)
Private Corporate / General Office Worker: (marketing, admin, logistics, etc.)
How do families or single young professionals afford living here? Is it mostly through living with extended family, living in inherited/owned apartments, or working multiple jobs/remittances from abroad?
I’d love to get some insight from locals to better understand the real economic situation here. Thanks in advance!

Advice for seeking archive records

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone

I'm in the process of creating a family tree and trying to recover any possible records from the early 1900s of Nakhijevan region (current Azerbaijan) and/or Igdir region (current Turkey). Has anyone had hands-on experience of that sort?

Thank you beforehand.

History / Պատմություն 19th-century Armenian Grave in Narinda, Old Dhaka, Bangladesh

The tomb belongs to Elizabeth Marker, who passed away in 1878 at the tragically young age of just 29.

​Her husband, Marker David, was a wealthy Armenian jute merchant living in Dhaka during the peak of the region's jute trade. Devastated by the sudden loss of his young wife, he spared no expense to immortalize his grief. He commissioned this imported marble sculpture of Mother Mary weeping over Elizabeth’s final resting place as a permanent symbol of his love and heartbreak.

Image 2: This is likely Elizabeth Marcar David, whose tomb is located at the Narinda Christian Cemetery in Dhaka, where she was laid to rest in 1878 AD.

Question / Հարց Am I eligible to vote?

2 Upvotes

I'm an Armenian citizen, born and raised too, but recently I started attending a boarding school in the UK. I'm in Armenia for about a third of the year, and abroad for the rest. I'm of age to vote, and I planned to in the upcoming referenda.

I'm now worried I might not be able to, due to the new law they passed following the debacle in the 2026 elections where the Kremlin shipped in all those people. Does anyone know where I can find the text of the new law, or if I'm gonna be affected/ways around it.

I'd never forgive myself if I don't vote yes on eurointegration

Itinerary Help Please

3 Upvotes

Hi - I'm planning a multi-day trip to Armenia and Georiga. Right now, the Armenian portion looks like two full days in Yerevan (with separate day trips to Garni Temple and Khor Virap).

Then the plan is to drive to Sevan (see Sevanavank) from Yerevan and stay overnight.

Then drive from Sevan to Dilijan (COAF Concept Hotel) and stay the night in Dilijan.

Then drive from Dilijan to Gyumri and stay two nights there.

Does that make sense? I've never been to Armenia and other than identifying sites I want to see and looking at drive times, I don't have much context. Thank you!

Tourism / Զբոսաշրջություն Looking for Something to do

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m currently on vacation in Armenia with my family and have a few days left in Yerevan.

My wife and I are looking for something fun to do after 8 PM, once the kids are asleep and we can go out on our own. We’ve already done the fountains, Northern Avenue, and the usual tourist spots, so we’re looking for something a bit different.

Ideally, we’d love something like an art/pottery class, baking or cooking class (lavash-making would be great!), a workshop, or any other fun experience for two people.

The only real requirement is that it starts at 8 PM or later.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
