Summary: A delightful little book
Comment: This is a delightful little book. I just couldn't put it down when I first got it! My husband and I had been quite anxious about making our first trip to Armenia and Karabagh this year, and the advice in the book really eased our minds by letting us know what to expect when we got there. Just KNOWING what to expect was such a help especially for someplace so far-off like Armenia. The advice about getting around and just getting by on a daily basis was very practical. And it's an easy read. As pertains history and facts about ancient churches and so-forth, it only skimmed the surface but we didn't really expect a scholarly treatise about religious history and architecture, so we weren't disappointed. Still, a bit more "trivia" would have been welcome. We were thrilled to see so such thorough coverage of Karabagh, but would have liked to have seen more information about Echmiadzin (the "Vatican of Armenia"!) and Gyumri. I suggest reading parts of the history book "Looking Toward Ararat," (by Suny) and another one called "Rediscovering Armenia" (authored by Kiesling), which was sort of an encyclopedia of historical monuments and quite detailed (although a bit of a mish-mash and difficult to read). We also had the Lonely Planet book which we thought was just dreadful.

Summary: HISTORY can't be made up, just like armenians do.
Comment: I presume that if one logs into Amazon.com and plans to purchase a book is, at least, an intelligent person that buy and reads books, correct?
Ok, lets move on. Most of the Americans and even Europeans don't know too much about Caucasus, Azerbaijan, Georgia and, Karabakh... Karabakh (means Black Gardens, in Azeri) has always been a part of either Independent Azerbaijan or within small states of 18th century that were somewhat independent. Anyway, as a result of Russia's involvement into the region in the beginning of 19th century, armenians were encouraged to move from present Iraq and Iran to Russian Empire, especially Karabakh... That's how armenians settled in Karabakh... They even built a monument in 1973 called "150 years of armenians moving to Karabakh"... Meaning what? they started to move to karabakh in 1823... Hey guys, wake up? Don't let the armenians fool you around... Those churches, castles built in 6-12th centuries were built by Albanians (latter, Albanias assimilated with Azeri turks). Shusha - local jewel of Karabakh, small city, was built by a local ruler "shakh", Azeri by nationality, in 1753. As a result of armenian national policy of occupation, Karabakh and other 5 regions of Independent Azerbaijan Republic were occupied by Armenia since 1993. UN Security Council has made 3 resolutions to Armenian to leave Karabakh, which they never did... Azerbaijan's 20% of lands are occupied by Armenia with the help of Russians... But we will get our lands back.. Evrything comes back to its place in history.
Karabakh will be returned to its owners - Azeris and armenians will pay a full price.

Summary: Nonsense
Comment: Does this book say that Karabagh is an essential part of Azerbaijan and its occupied by Armenian armed forces?
