We know little about it, although each of us ate shashlik and lavash. And many of us drank Armenian cognac! 30 years without Soviet power were hard for Armenia. Constant clashes in Nagorno-Karabakh, survival without electricity, hostile Turkey and Azerbaijan next door... At the same time, Armenians are not discouraged, and if there is depression in the country, it is not noticeable to a visitor.
