New Year's Eve

📣 Traveler notes

Armenia is a landlocked country in the Caucasus, recognized for its ancient history and status as one of the first nations to adopt Christianity as its state religion.

• Expect direct personal questions regarding life, income, and education, as this is considered typical conversation.
• Adhere to 'ladies first' protocols when seating or offering assistance.
• Avoid discussing the Armenian Genocide or praising Turkey due to their sensitive nature.
• Engage in casual conversation before discussing specific topics.
• Be punctual, but be prepared for potential delays due to family commitments.
• Respect local customs regarding socialization, including unannounced visits.
• Show respect to elders and authority figures, as family matters often guide social timing. When visiting homes, bringing small gifts is customary. When entering churches, dress modestly: men should remove hats, and women should cover their hair.
