ArmInfo. The Russian cosmonaut Sergei Ryazansky published photographs of Yerevan from outer space.

"Yerevan is not like other capitals - people here are in no hurry,  the city is moving at its measured pace, and the Cascade, one of the  symbols of Yerevan, is known far beyond its borders." By the way, I  take this opportunity to send space greetings to friends at the  Russian embassy in Armenia " , Ryazansky wrote on his Facebook page.

Sergei Ryazansky is a Russian cosmonaut-test cosmonaut cosmonaut of  Roscosmos. 535th cosmonaut of the world and 117th cosmonaut of  Russia. Hero of the Russian Federation, pilot-cosmonaut of the  Russian Federation (2015). July 28, 2017 at 18:41 MSK started from  the Baikonur cosmodrome as commander of the crew of the spacecraft  Soyuz MS-05 and the crew of the International Space Station on the  program of the main space expeditions ISS-53/53. Note that last year  Ryazan stayed in Yerevan.

It should be noted that Armenia, with the assistance of the State  Corporation for Space Activity Roscosmos, intends to actively  participate in the implementation of various space programs. This  should be largely helped by the long-term (until 2020) program of  cooperation with Roskosmos, which provides for the launch of a  communications satellite, the modernization of the Burokan  Astrophysical Observatory, the deployment of GLONASS stations in the  country and preparations for the launch of the first Armenian  astronaut. One of the priorities of the program is the stationing of  stations of the global navigation system GLONASS in Armenia. The  first batch of equipment for the new system has already been  delivered to the republic. It is curious that in the new global  system, nuclear technologies began to be actively used.
