    >“I camped by the river and road in other countries I visited and it was fine, but I was shouted at multiple times in Armenia and I did not understand why.”

    No words lol

    Hung out with a (pretty brown) Iranian and a Scandinavian guy last month, they were biking across Armenia (the Iranian already had) and both had great times, loved everyone, etc. Dunno what this guys deal was or what the could have been shouting, or where he was setting up camp. I mean, is he saying that he got shouted at all across Armenia? No way. I’m guessing it was one spot and there was something wrong there…

  3. Seems like a smear campaign highlighted on Armenia in a UK publication.

    Guy went during wartime and probably acted suspicious by Rivers maybe in Syunik.

    I would say it is even a non-story and the fact that it is highlighted is more suspicious.

    Oh I wonder why wouldn’t people be friendly to him among the nation, which just recently experienced ethnic cleansing 🙄
