Try with this simple solution that uses XmlDocument to parse the XML document you provided. Note that this sample shows you just how to get the values you need, not how and from where you load the content that you want to parse.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Xml;

public class User
{
    public string Name { get; set; }

    public string LastName { get; set; }

    public string Email { get; set; }

    public string Phone { get; set; }
}

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var xmlAsString = @"<Users>
          <User>
            <Name>Aram</Name>
            <Lastname>Vardanyan</Lastname>
            <Email>*****@gmail.com</Email>
            <Phone>*** ******</Phone>
          </User>
        </Users>";

        var xmlDocument = new XmlDocument();
        xmlDocument.LoadXml(xmlAsString);

        var users = new List<User>();
        foreach(XmlElement xmlUser in xmlDocument.DocumentElement.ChildNodes)
        {
            var user = new User()
            {
                Name = xmlUser["Name"].InnerText,
                LastName = xmlUser["Lastname"].InnerText,
                Email = xmlUser["Email"].InnerText,
                Phone = xmlUser["Phone"].InnerText
            };

            users.Add(user);
        }

        users.ForEach(u =>
        {
            Console.WriteLine(u.Name);
            Console.WriteLine(u.LastName);
            Console.WriteLine(u.Email);
            Console.WriteLine(u.Phone);
        });

        Console.ReadKey();
    }
}
