Sacrifice: an inseparable part of Armenian history… I long for the day, when I kiss the Armenian land, which has been warmed by the blood of so many victims…
Pope John Paul 2nd

If the scriptures are rightly understood it was in Armenia that paradise was placed… But whatever may have been their destiny and it has been bitter whatever it may be in future, their country must ever be one of the most interesting on the globe. …Armenian is the language to speak with God.
George Gordon (Lord) Byron - English poet.

… The Armenians should be in the center of our attention and the attention of the whole world. And this is because of the superb culture, which was generated by Armenians for many centuries of independent existence and the exclusively rich literature, which is a luxurious contribution of Armenia to the treasury of humanity.
Valery Brusov - Russian Linguist.

The nation, whose Christian faith is so old, the nation who did not turn away from Christ even after strongest storms and cruelest persecutions, the nation whose history is almost a ceaseless suffering, certainly deserves not only our compassion but also our love.
Max Sax - Prince of Saxony.

A breathtaking sight is emerging in front of us. We are flying over snow-cowered mountains of Armenia. …this is the place where Noah landed his ark during the great flood. In the noise and tone of headphones we heard the voice of the Armenian dispatcher. "Welcome, accept our greetings from the whole Armenian nation." The voice had such a sincere friendliness in it! If only all countries were so hospitable.
Richard Branson - English Entrepreneur when flying over Armenia in a hot air balloon in December 1998.

I think, that Yerevan which is built from volcanic tuff and is harmonic like a rose, is one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
Pablo Neruda - Chilean Noble Prize Winner in Literature 1971.

In general, much too little has been known about Armenia, even though, culturally speaking, Europe owes her a considerable debt. At the dawn of history, Armenia was one of the cradles of civilization… Millennia before the Christian era, the economy, arts and popular traditions of Armenia had developed to such an extent that her culture stimulated Egypt, Greece and Rome both materially and spiritually.
Elisabeth Bauer (b. 1948) - Austrian Armenologist.

In my memories Armenia will stay as a country of inexpressible beauty.
Marco Clemente - former Italian ambassador to Armenia.

Armenia is an attractive and unique country for tourism, and first of all for its safety and stability.
Jibrail Butros Jaara - former Ambassador of Lebanon to Armenia.
