In the Polish newspaper “Gazeta Wyborcza” Armenia was described as the “country under the shadow of Mt. Ararat” in an article presenting Armenia as an ideal destination for vacationers. “We think that one can travel across Armenia for several days, and that every day see a place worthy of note,” writes the article’s author. In his article, he tells that “This mountainous place is one that amazes, with waterfalls that flow like Armenian hospitality.”
