Answer 1

Hi.

I'm from Iran, originally Armenian.

I have visited Armenia several times as tourist, I wasn't considered a foreigner there, though!

I can say yes, Armenians are very welcoming and friendly towards tourists and foreigners. As much as I've seen.

About the English language: No, not many people speak English there. Of course the case is different for the youth.

In Armenia - like other ex-Soviet countries - Russian is the dominant second language.

Anyway, I think it won't be hard to find a way to communicate people there.

Here is a website which might be helping for tourists:

I hope it'll help.
