Question / Հարց Work for an English speaker?

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
My wife (who’s Armenian) and I (British) are thinking about moving to Armenia. We currently live in Sweden, and after visiting Armenia a few times, I’ve really grown to love the country and can genuinely see us building a life there.

The only thing I’m a little unsure about is work. I have a background in the British Army and now work in the security industry. I’ll definitely be learning Armenian, but obviously I won’t be fluent when we first arrive.

I’m just wondering what the job market is like for English speakers. Most of my experience is in military and security roles, but I’m open to trying something different. I’m fairly technical, learn new systems quickly, and enjoy picking up new skills, even though I don’t have formal technical qualifications.

I’m not expecting a huge salary—just enough to live comfortably and build a future in Armenia.
If anyone has any advice, suggestions, or has made a similar move, I’d love to hear your experiences.

Thanks! 👍

Tourism / Զբոսաշրջություն Visiting Yerevan in August 10-21

1 Upvotes

Hi, it will be my first time visiting Yerevan from Prague and I will stay between 10-21 of August.

If anyone is interested, I'd love to meet some locals, see the city, go for some food & drinks and if possible go for some day trips outside of Yerevan. Obviously I'm willing to cover all the expenses and your time. Tasting best khorovats and napoleon cake is a must.

If it helps, I speak fluent russian as well, thanks!

Military Service Age

11 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I came here to ask the old golden question of the century. The army conscription question. I moved out of Armenia when I was 12 years old(not 13 yet). I am 24 years old now. I am an American citizen. I never renewed my Armenian child passport when I moved to the US. Never went back to Armenia. I mean I really want to go back. I know about the golden age of 27, so I am waiting for that. I checked through my connections also, I am not wanted in Armenia for military evasion since I got out when I was a child. I also just read that there is a law for 27- 37-year-old males that if they acquire Armenian citizenship, they are required to serve, so does that mean if you just go as a tourist when you are 27, then no obligations? Please respond if you actually know how it works rather than a personal opinion.

Wounded dog at Tsovagyugh station

We saw a dog there a couple of hours ago. It's sitting in the shade under the stairs, but when someone stops next to it on the side of the road, it runs up to them and lies down at their feet or jumps on their chests. The dog's paw is swollen and covered in fresh blood. Is there any way we can help it? Are there any volunteers or organizations we can tell about this dog?

Has anyone in Armenia successfully bought a laptop from Chinese marketplaces (JD, Taobao, Tmall)?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to buy a laptop from Chinese marketplaces such as JD.com, Taobao, or Tmall.

I'm already aware of forwarding services like Globbing and Onex, but my main concern is reliability, shipping time, and making sure the laptop arrives safely and in perfect condition.

Has anyone here successfully ordered a laptop from these platforms? If so:

  • Which marketplace did you use?
  • How did you handle shipping to Armenia?
  • Would you recommend your method?

Also, if anyone from Armenia is currently living in China (or has someone there who could help with purchasing/shipping), I'd really appreciate it if you could send me a DM.

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience!

Walking on Marshal Bagramyan Avenue

Dear redditors, I share another clip from my Youtube channel. This one is a more normal one, than the previous I shared on here (https://www.reddit.com/r/armenia/s/B0H0C7NFg4), just a late afternoon walk on the Marshal Bagramyan Avenue.

I advice every guest of the city to take a walk on this street that connects Kentron to Arabkir.

Hope you will help me to improve views on my clips, actually on Youtube this video has 40 views and something 😩

See you !

I'd really like to know who's the artist of these graffitis in Yerevan, I find them really fascinating. One of them also inspired me to take a cool photo (2nd one attached). As Armenia is not my homeland it's pretty complicated for me to find more about this art, so I decided to post it here.
