CNN presented Armenia as part of his latest series entitled “on the road” aired on weekends.
A documentary featured on CNN International has attempted to explore Armenia from different aspects, including innovative minds of its young, love failures of the nation, the difficult history of Armenians and their traditions.
The authors of the documentary took trips to the monastery of Geghard and the only pagan temple of Garni countries as part of their quest for the spirit of Armenia, noting that Armenia was the first country to adopt the Christianity as the official religion in 301.
Stressing that Armenia is home to only 3 of some 10 million Armenians living in the world today, the documentary highlights the Birthright Armenia experience of many young Diaspora Armenians visiting their historic homeland as part of the program.
When showing Tsitsernakaberd in Yerevan authors point out that the documentary is a memorial to the Armenian genocide in which 1.5 million Christian Armenians were massacred in Ottoman Turkey.
