Due to many historical, economic, and war factors, Armenians have migrated from Armenia to the rest of the world since antiquity. This is usually called the Armenian Diaspora.<\/p>\n<p>The Armenian Diaspora (in Armenian called Spyurk) established communities worldwide over the last 1700 years. A good example of this is the Armenian community living in Old Jerusalem for many, many centuries. Nevertheless, this diaspora intensified due to WWI and in consequence of the Armenian Genocide (check below) when the Ottoman Empire forced people to flee or be killed. This is usually called the modern Armenian Diaspora.<\/p>\n<p>As a result of so many years of emigration, today, there are between 10 and 11 million people of Armenian ascent, but Armenia has only 3 million inhabitants. This means that about 7 Million Armenians live outside Armenia, i.e., there are more than twice Armenians outside Armenia than in Armenia.<\/p>\n<p>The countries with the largest Armenian populations are Russia, the USA, France, Argentina, Syria, Lebanon, Canada, Turkey, Ukraine, Australia, and Greece. There are also 130 000 Armenians in the de facto republic of Nagorno-Karabakh, but we will explore this below.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_844,h_476\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Traveling-in-Armenia.jpg\" alt=\"Armenian famous things\" class=\"wp-image-7884\" width=\"844\" height=\"476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_800\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Traveling-in-Armenia.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Traveling-in-Armenia-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Traveling-in-Armenia-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_520\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Traveling-in-Armenia-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 844px) 100vw, 844px\" title=\"What is Armenia famous for? 2 what is Armenia famous for\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_844,h_476\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Traveling-in-Armenia.jpg\" alt=\"Armenian famous things\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-7884\" width=\"844\" height=\"476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_800\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Traveling-in-Armenia.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Traveling-in-Armenia-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Traveling-in-Armenia-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_520\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Traveling-in-Armenia-520x293.jpg 520w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 844px) 100vw, 844px\" title=\"What is Armenia famous for? 2 what is Armenia famous for\"><figcaption>Karahunj, interesting archaeological site in Armenia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Kardashians_and_other_famous_Armenians\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Kardashians_and_other_famous_Armenians\"><\/span>#2 Kardashians (and other famous Armenians)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In the last decade or so, the most famous Armenian diaspora members are the Kardashian family. And they are quite a lot, as you probably know. Kim Kardashian is clearly the most famous, but Kourtney, Khlo\u00e9, and Rob are well-known.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are plenty of more famous people who are of Armenian origin. Even though most of them aren\u2019t born in Armenia and are of mixed ancestry, there are other pretty celebrities, artists, and sportsmen with Armenian genes. Some of these include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cher \u2013 Singer, oscar winner.<\/li>\n<li>Andre Agassi \u2013 Tennis superstar from the 90s and early 2000s<\/li>\n<li>Garry Kasparov \u2013 One of the best chess players of all-time.<\/li>\n<li>Aram Khachaturian \u2013 Composer<\/li>\n<li>Sergei Parajanov \u2013 Surrealist Artist\/Produce<\/li>\n<li>Calouste Gulbenkian \u2013 Oil tycoon, was one of the richest man alive at his time.<\/li>\n<li>Alain Prost \u2013 4-time formula one champion.

The most delicate of these is probably the Armenian Genocide.<\/p>\n<p>The Armenian genocide was a mass deportation campaign and killing of the Armenian people of the Ottoman Empire conducted by the new Turkish government during WWI. Armenians argue that it was a deliberate action to destroy the Armenian people, thus a genocide. The Turkish don\u2019t accept this claim, and while accepting that some atrocities have happened, there was no official polity of extermination directly against the Armenian people.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s estimated that 1.5 Million ethnic Armenians were either deported or killed between 1914 and 1923. As said above, many of the Armenian diaspora communities surged as a result of these unfortunate events.<\/p>\n<p>The Armenian Genocide has been on the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> in the last few years because more and more countries (and the EU) have recognized the events as genocide. In consequence, the Turkish government tends to deny it and strongly condemn countries that recognize it.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_832,h_565\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Top-atractions-of-Erevan-Armenia.jpg\" alt=\"famous things about Armenia\" class=\"wp-image-7890\" width=\"832\" height=\"565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_800\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Top-atractions-of-Erevan-Armenia.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Top-atractions-of-Erevan-Armenia-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Top-atractions-of-Erevan-Armenia-768x521.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_520\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Top-atractions-of-Erevan-Armenia-520x353.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 832px) 100vw, 832px\" title=\"What is Armenia famous for? 3 what is Armenia famous for\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_832,h_565\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Top-atractions-of-Erevan-Armenia.jpg\" alt=\"famous things about Armenia\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-7890\" width=\"832\" height=\"565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_800\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Top-atractions-of-Erevan-Armenia.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Top-atractions-of-Erevan-Armenia-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Top-atractions-of-Erevan-Armenia-768x521.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_520\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Top-atractions-of-Erevan-Armenia-520x353.jpg 520w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 832px) 100vw, 832px\" title=\"What is Armenia famous for? 3 what is Armenia famous for\"><figcaption>Monument of Yerevan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Armenia-Azerbaijan_conflict_about_Nagorno-Karabakh\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Armenia-Azerbaijan_conflict_about_Nagorno-Karabakh\"><\/span>#4 Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict about Nagorno-Karabakh<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Another delicate topic is the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, and this one is yet to be solved. Populated and controlled by ethnic Armenians, Nagorno-Karabakh is internationally recognized as a part of Azerbaijan.<\/p>\n<p>The main issue here is that the Karabakh Armenians demanded that Karabakh be transferred from Soviet Azerbaijan to Soviet Armenia initially and want to be part of Armenia now. They have Armenia\u2019s support in its goal of breaking away from Azerbaijan, which is the internationally recognized owner of the land.<\/p>\n<p>The conflict started in 1988 and had it worse part between 1992 and 1994 when a cease-fire was negotiated. In 2020 it has escalated again from a low-intensity conflict (1994-2020) to full-scale war. This war is one of the unfortunate reasons for Armenia being constantly on the news and naturally one of the things Armenia is famous for.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_The_first_country_to_adopt_Christianity\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_The_first_country_to_adopt_Christianity\"><\/span>#5 The first country to adopt Christianity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>More than 95% of the Armenian are Christian, but most of them (about 92%) are members of Armenia\u2019s own church, usually called the Armenian Apostolic Church. Founded in the 1st century, it\u2019s considered one of the oldest Christian churches and in 301 AD became the first branch of Christianity to become a State religion.<\/p>\n<p>Legend says that Christianity was introduced in Armenia by the apostles Bartholomew and Thaddeus in the 1st century, where it started to develop clandestinely.  By the 4th century, in 301 AD, St. Gregory, the illuminator, convinced and converted Tiridates III, the king of Armenia, to Christianity. Since then, the Arminian Church has developed independently.<\/p>\n<p>For this, Armenia is usually considered the first Christian country. In fact, many of the best things to do in Armenia is to explore their many amazing churches and monasteries!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_835,h_617\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Best-Armenia-monestery.jpg\" alt=\"Interesting famous things about Armenia\" class=\"wp-image-7897\" width=\"835\" height=\"617\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_800\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Best-Armenia-monestery.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Best-Armenia-monestery-300x222.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Best-Armenia-monestery-768x567.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_520\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Best-Armenia-monestery-520x384.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 835px) 100vw, 835px\" title=\"What is Armenia famous for? 4 what is Armenia famous for\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_835,h_617\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Best-Armenia-monestery.jpg\" alt=\"Interesting famous things about Armenia\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-7897\" width=\"835\" height=\"617\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_800\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Best-Armenia-monestery.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Best-Armenia-monestery-300x222.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Best-Armenia-monestery-768x567.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_520\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Best-Armenia-monestery-520x384.jpg 520w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 835px) 100vw, 835px\" title=\"What is Armenia famous for? 4 what is Armenia famous for\"><figcaption>Noravank Monastary in Armenia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_The_oldest_Cathedral_in_the_world\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_The_oldest_Cathedral_in_the_world\"><\/span>#6 The oldest Cathedral in the world<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Armenia is also home to what is considered by many the oldest cathedral in the world, Etchmiadzin Cathedral \u2013 the mother church of Armenia Apostolic Church.<\/p>\n<p>Etchmiadzin Cathedral is located in Vagharshapat, fairly close to Yerevan.

Through the years, Mount Ararat has been passed through Armenia, Persia, Russia, and Turkey. Today it is in Turkey, close to the border with Armenia.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, Mount Ararat is the main symbol of Armenia, and it\u2019s even considered sacred. They also believe it is Noah\u2019s Ark\u2019s resting place. Despite this interpretation of the Bible, there is no scientific evidence or even the Ark\u2019s existence.<\/p>\n<p>You can see the imposing mountain from Armenia, the best place to see it is probably Khor Virap, a beautiful monastery and one of Armenia\u2019s most popular destinations. To visit it you need to go to Turkey, but all the borders between Turkey and Armenia are closed.<\/p>\n<p>Within Armenia, you\u2019ll see references to Mount Ararat everywhere. Stores, restaurants, banks, brands of things, you name it, and probably there\u2019s one or several Ararat named products. The most famous is probably the Ararat brandy.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_883,h_513\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Visit-Monte-Ararat-Armenia.jpg\" alt=\"Famous in Armenia\" class=\"wp-image-7910\" width=\"883\" height=\"513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_800\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Visit-Monte-Ararat-Armenia.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Visit-Monte-Ararat-Armenia-300x174.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Visit-Monte-Ararat-Armenia-768x446.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_520\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Visit-Monte-Ararat-Armenia-520x302.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 883px) 100vw, 883px\" title=\"What is Armenia famous for? 6 what is Armenia famous for\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_883,h_513\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Visit-Monte-Ararat-Armenia.jpg\" alt=\"Famous in Armenia\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-7910\" width=\"883\" height=\"513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_800\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Visit-Monte-Ararat-Armenia.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Visit-Monte-Ararat-Armenia-300x174.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Visit-Monte-Ararat-Armenia-768x446.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_520\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Visit-Monte-Ararat-Armenia-520x302.jpg 520w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 883px) 100vw, 883px\" title=\"What is Armenia famous for? 6 what is Armenia famous for\"><figcaption>What Is Armenia Famous For- Mount Ararat<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Yerevan\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Yerevan\"><\/span>#8 Yerevan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yerevan is well-known for being a beautiful city with a long history and a model of Soviet architecture and design with huge, massive buildings, wide streets, and spacious city squares.<\/p>\n<p>Armenia\u2019s capital is also famous for being one of the world\u2019s oldest continuously inhabited cities, with a history that dates back to the 9th century BCE when the fortress of Erebuni was founded by King Argishti I. Yerevan\u2019s importance and size varied a lot during the centuries, with huge declines in importance for many centuries. Only in 1918, it became the capital of Armenia.<\/p>\n<p>Yerevan is also famous for its very unique hue. The city is widely known as the pink city for its rose buildings due to the rosy ancient volcanic rock used to build most of the city\u2019s constructions.

Toasted sesame and\/or poppy seeds are sometimes sprinkled on before baking. It\u2019s the most widespread bread in Armenia, but also in the neighboring countries, Azerbaijan, Iran, and Turkey, as it\u2019s common in cuisines of the South Caucasus, Western Asia, and the Caspian Sea.<\/p>\n<p>In 2014, Lavash\u2019s preparation, meaning, and appearance was inscribed as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity, as an expression of culture in Armenia. Although Azerbaijan, Iran, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan protested as they considered it regional, not Armenian. In 2016, making and sharing flatbread in those countries was also inscribed on UNESCO\u2019s list.<\/p>\n<p>So, lavash and similar types of bread aren\u2019t only Armenian, but it\u2019s a cornerstone of Armenian cuisine and of the things Armenia is famous for. Lavash is a very familiar sight when visiting the country. It\u2019s very typical to see dried lavash stacked high in layers to be later used. When the time comes, it\u2019s possible to rehydrate the bread by sprinkling it with water making it soft again.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/lavash-Armenia.jpg\" alt=\"Armenian famous things\" class=\"wp-image-22168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/lavash-Armenia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/lavash-Armenia-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/lavash-Armenia-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_853\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/lavash-Armenia-853x640.jpg 853w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/lavash-Armenia-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"What is Armenia famous for? 8 what is Armenia famous for\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/lavash-Armenia.jpg\" alt=\"Armenian famous things\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-22168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/lavash-Armenia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/lavash-Armenia-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/lavash-Armenia-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_853\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/lavash-Armenia-853x640.jpg 853w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/lavash-Armenia-150x113.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"What is Armenia famous for? 8 what is Armenia famous for\"><figcaption>Lavash- Inscribed as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Chess\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Chess\"><\/span>#10 Chess<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To be clear, and before we jump to conclusions, Chess was not invented in Armenia.
