On the Road: CNN features Armenia in documentary

The authors of the documentary took trips to the monastery in Geghard and the country’s only surviving pagan temple in Garni as part of their quest for the spirit of Armenia, emphasizing that Armenia was first to adopt Christianity as its official religion back in 301 AD. They also tasted traditional Armenian khash with a young political satirist.
Emphasizing the fact that Armenia is home to only 3 out of some 10 million Armenians who live in the world today, the documentary showcases the Birthright Armenia experience of several young Diaspora Armenians visiting their historical homeland as part of the program.
When showing Tsitsernakaberd in Yerevan the authors of the documentary emphasize that it is a memorial to the Armenian Genocide in which 1.5 million Christian Armenians were massacred in Ottoman Turkey. Footage of the Tatik-Papik (“We Are Our Mountains”) statue, one of the most recognizable symbols of Nagorno-Karabakh, also appears in the film for a moment.
