About Armenia
Armenia is a landlocked country in the South Caucasus, bordered by Georgia, Azerbaijan, Iran, and Turkey. Its capital city is Yerevan, a pink-stone city that serves as the cultural and economic heart of the nation. Armenia was the first nation to adopt Christianity as its state religion, a decision traditionally dated to 301 AD. The country is known for ancient churches, monasteries, and carved stone khachkars, many set in dramatic mountain landscapes. Views of Mount Ararat, the snow-capped symbol of Armenian identity, can be seen from many parts of the capital. Armenia is a parliamentary democracy with a rich cultural heritage in music, art, and literature. Visitors are drawn to its hiking trails, historic sites, and warm hospitality. Its warm climate and scenic countryside make it a rewarding destination.
