  1. The only thing i can say is i wish one day go and visit this beautiful country, God bless Armenia and armenian people!!

  2. How far is Akori from Kamaris?
    Can one see Mt Ararat from Kamaris? The northeast slope where Akori was located?

    • Your comment is uplifting Juan – thank you for the kind words.
      We have so much History, being one of the most ancient nations in the cradle of civilizations, and yet we are the forgotten people.
      Interested, educated, and well-read folks like yourself and many others I’m sure, will value the grandeur of the Armenian nation and all it has to offer for mankind.

  3. From looking at my map, I estimate Akori is about 60 km from Kamaris. Ararat was not visible from Kamaris.

  5. The disaster that hit Akori was an earthquake on Mt. Ararat in 1840 which also created a landslide that destroyed the village. Some thought the earthquake was in reality some sort of volcanic eruption.

  6. I have been in Akori for many times. There are 103 khackarsright now but ubfortunatly nothing safed from Sb.Hakob monastery.
