Goris in Armenia ARMENIE armenia. goris Informations and links Goris  Map Goris Photos Goris Population on 01-Jan-04 : 23200 ------------------------------- Goris ("?????", "?????" in Armenian) is a town in the Syunik province of Armenia. The town is famous for its home-made fruit vodkas and medieval cave-dwellings carved out of the soft rock in the south. It is about 240 km away from the Capital Yerevan. Nestled in a bowl of green hills and mountains, with interesting formations and many previously inhabited caves in them, Goris has some of the nicest overall Armenian architecture in Armenia. Somehow the traditional methods have been preserved overall in this town, while everywhere else the Soviet blueprints seem to have overwhelmed historic designs. "The small town of Goris lies in the middle of Armenia in the province of Zangezour. It is famous for its thousands of dwellings carved into the rock. In 401 BC, during the retreat of the Ten Thousand (Anabasis), Xenophon passed through Armenia. In his account of the expedition he mentions the Armenian troglodytes of Khndzoresk and Goris." -moa (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.) Armenia prides itself on being the first nation to formally adopt Christianity (early 4th century). Despite periods of autonomy, over the centuries Armenia came under the sway of various empires including the Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Persian, and Ottoman. .
