We clearly remember flying into the Yerevan airport in May of 1993. Except for several lights on the runway, the capital city of the Republic of Armenia was dark. There were no streetlights. Not a single house was illuminated by an electric light bulb. We didn't even see the headlights of automobiles. From the air, Yerevan looked like it must have appeared in the Middle Ages.
