Cost of Living in Yerevan

Welcome to Armenia, where poverty has reached record levels. Don't worry about these results, it's all made up by a mafia government run by clans and poisoning the people of Armenia with fake stories and fake animosity against neighboring countries, especially Turkey and Azerbaijan. But be careful: positive statements about your neighbors (especially Turks and Azerbaijanis) can get you jailed or k1lled. Don't believe me? Look how many years they supported separatism in the lands of Azerbaijan after the collapse of the USSR and still live with the desire to annex the border lands of their neighbors and look at the interviews of recent Armenian soldiers who deserted and left Armenia. Thank God that Azerbaijan has already restored its sovereignty. Let's also not forget the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Azerbaijanis in Armenia itself since 1950, which they committed, as well as the theft of Azerbaijani and Turkic culture and attempts to call it their own (persistently passing it off as their own, even without changing the Turkic name and toponyms), although before 1918 they never existed and all the cities of today's Armenia until 1950 sounded in the Turkic language. Of course, this comment will be flooded with Armenians claiming I'm lying, but then again, all this information I'm talking about is on the internet, at least in the archives of Moscow itself, which historically resettled these Armenians in 1828-96 from Persia and Syria to the Erivan, Nakhchivan and Karabakh khanates. ^_^ HAVE FUN!

Love how all the locals are defending Yerevan, even though everything the others are saying is true.

Most prices here are wrong, if you want to know real prices just type something like "milk buy yerevan" in google and you will see multiple supermarket websites where you can check actual prices. Keep in mind that brands exist, so you can get a perfectly good local milk for $1.2 and be happy or buy a $2 milk with a cool glass bottle. Same with every other type of product. According to this website Yerevan is more expensive than Warsaw or Moscow, which is an absolutely crazy thing to say.

IM from Wales. I have been living in Yerevan for 8 months now. Great place to live. All food is organic , great weather and people. I'm planning to bring my family to live here from UK. Honestly eight months ago i would never think to settle in this small eastern european country but being here for only 8 months changed my perceptions about this great country. I have no interest to advocate Armenia as I'm British.

As it was mentioned previously here in the comments it is dead true that electricity and tap water supply is systematically interrupted and cutoffs happens regularly on a weekly basis. If in doubt you may check the official statements in regard of the power and water outages on "Veolia" - the water company and "Electric Networks of Armenia" websites followed by the links below.

Armenia became truly a village, not even a country of the third but the forth world. It may be a shame, I can understand that but this is simply not a country but a joke. The locals, here in the comments or elsewhere in social networks, will tell you anything but the truth they obviosely cannot or unwilling to accept it. However I believe the one must have guts to accept the bitter truth.

Also, not mentioning constant water, electricity, gas cut offs that happen almost every week. And that’s in a country’s capital!

Yerevan is very much more expensive than 12 months ago. Not sure how the locals survive.

these figures on rent don't seem to be accurate from what i have seen when i search online so i am assuming most of this is inaccurate. i like that internet seems about a third cheaper in Armenia than the United States though. I am seeing $150-$300 places to stay that would compare to the poorly priced houses around detroit greater area despite being surrounded by forsaken space

It's not the freezer. It just has the pronounced winter. And also, cold there feels not that cold because of low humidity and slow wind.

Apartments are now much more expensive, I would say 1000$ for 2 bedroom in the city center.
