Hey guys, I’m an Israeli tourist and I consider myself a big armenophile (I recognise the Armenian Genocide and I despise the fact that my government is denying it) and I’m here at Yerevan for a 7 days vacation. Been around Khor Virap and Lake Sevan and Garni Temple. I just wanted to share how impressed I was at yesterday’s night at the 2026 New Year’s Eve celebration at the Republic Square. The music was top tier, the snow atmosphere was amazing and the countdown to midnight was a blast with all the drones and fireworks. I literally got shivers when the Armenian anthem began playing. It was such an amazing experience for me and I’m having so much good time in my trip here.
Here is a picture of me at the republic square near midnight celebrations on New Year’s Eve.
Long live Hayastan and happy new year! 🥳❤️🇦🇲

Happy New Year!!! Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice to read, I hope you have a wonderful visit.
I think the policy of denial is a thing of the past. Netanyahu recently acknowledged the genocide, but this was due to strained relations with Turkey. Even before Israel denied the genocide, the Israeli people already believed it had happened. However, relations will still be strained because of Azerbaijan
Hey, glad to hear you loved it! Enjoy the rest of your vacation.
I’m Israeli too and my wife is Armenian. We lived in Yerevan for three years and I miss it a lot now that we’re back to Tel Aviv for family reasons. Armenia is a wonderful country and I wish our government wasn’t as much of a dick to it. Glad you enjoyed your stay!
Happy new year, happy that you enjoyed it.
You had fireworks this year?🥹
I really wanted to go and missed it, it looked super cool on TV though! Glad you enjoyed it.
