At the foothills of the world famous biblical mountain Ararat is the Ararat valley one of the most pictures corners on the earth, stetches far and wide .According to the Bible this was the place where Noah’s ark first landed after the flood. Henceforth his progeny make their way into the world.
My native town is situated in this beautiful valley in the shade of Ararat .It was founded in 1931 in the neighborhood of Hoctember railway station. It was named Hoktemberyan and later an Armavir.It was a small town with single building of railway station, with few mud houses, dirty and narrow streets. But are few decades it has changed beyond recognition with many modern buildings and private houses.
The center of Armavir is so-called the Red Club squarer, surrounded with the buildings of Town Hall, Central Post office and Marspetaran. And a fountain in the middle of it.
Many demonstrations, people entertainments, parades, meetings take place in this square on national holidays and important days.
There are ten secondary schools, some technical, musical art, medical and vocal colleges in our town. There is a hospital and polyclinic, which are equipped with modern apparatus.
In summer Armavir becomes a storehouse of vegetables and fruits. Ararat valley is the garden of Armenian
Yet I like my native town though it hasn’t any real progress during last ten years.
Our natives with great difficulties make both ends meet. Armavir is my birthplace where for the first time I had got contact with life and people with different features.
Our town is not famous like London Paris
