  • Shirak Guidebook
    Wuthering Heights of Shirak -the Land of Steppe and Sky YYerevanerevan 22013013 1 Facts About Shirak FOREWORD Mix up the vast open spaces of the Shirak steppe, the wuthering wind that sweeps through its heights, the snowcapped tops of Mt. Aragats and the dramatic gorges and sparkling lakes of Akhurian River. Sprinkle in the white sheep fl ocks and the cry of an eagle. Add churches, mysterious Urartian ruins, abundant wildlife and unique architecture. Th en top it all off with a turbulent history, Gyumri’s joi de vivre and Gurdjieff ’s mystical teaching, revealing a truly magnifi cent region fi lled with experi- ences to last you a lifetime. However, don’t be deceived that merely seeing all these highlights will give you a complete picture of what Shirak really is. Dig deeper and you’ll be surprised to fi nd that your fondest memories will most likely lie with the locals themselves. You’ll eas- ily be touched by these proud, witt y, and legendarily hospitable people, even if you cannot speak their language. Only when you meet its remarkable people will you understand this land and its powerful energy which emanates from their sculptures, paintings, music and poetry. Visiting the province takes creativity and imagination, as the tourist industry is at best ‘nascent’. A great deal of the current tourist fl ow consists of Diasporan Armenians seeking the opportunity to make personal contributions to their historic homeland, along with a few scatt ered independent travelers. Although there are some rural “rest- places” and picnic areas, they cater mainly to locals who want to unwind with hearty feasts and family chats, thus rarely providing any activities.

  • SSA: Armenia: Sustainable Urban Development Investment Program
    Sustainable Urban Development Investment Program (RRP ARM 42417) SECTOR ASSESSMENT (SUMMARY): URBAN TRANSPORT1 1. Until the financial and economic crisis, the Armenian economy had grown by more than 10% per annum. In Armenia, 12 cities generate almost 90% of the nation's gross domestic product (GDP). Economic activity remains, however, concentrated in Yerevan and, to a lesser extent, in Gyumri and Vanadzor. The competitiveness and attractiveness of Yerevan and secondary cities are critical to growth rate recovery. Therefore, cities need to revamp their urban infrastructure to provide more competitive platforms for economic growth. 2. The sector assessment has divided urban areas into four groups: (i) Yerevan, the capital city; (ii) secondary cities such as Gyumri, Vanadzor, and Kapan; (iii) cities with potential for economic development such as Armavir, Artashat, Artarak and Ararat; and (iv) cities with high tourism potential such as Jermuk, Dilijan, Sevan, and Tsakhradzor. Gyumri and Kapan are the north and south gateways to the country along the north–south road corridor. A. Sector Performance, Problems, and Opportunities 1. Urban Organization and Infrastructure 3. Urban Armenia. In a total population estimated at 3.24 million, 64% is urban. With 1.12 million inhabitants, Yerevan has 53.6% of the country’s urban population and one-third of the county’s total population. The capital city has equal standing with Armenia’s 10 provinces and is divided into 12 community districts. Urbanization lacks a strategic focus, so there is too little integrated land use or transport planning. Infrastructure and municipal services delivery in most cities and towns are deficient.
