Armenia: The Caucasus Pearl of Ancient Christian Civilization

Armenia, located in the southern part of the Transcaucasus in West Asia, is a landlocked country at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, bordered by Turkey in the west, Georgia in the north, Azerbaijan in the east and Iran in the south. As the first country in the world to designate Christianity as the state religion (301 A.D.), Armenia possesses a profound religious and cultural heritage, with thousand-year-old churches and monasteries all over its territory, and the archaeological sites of the Echmiadzin Church and Zvartnots have been listed as World Cultural Heritage Sites. The capital, Yerevan, is one of the oldest cities in Transcaucasia, combining Soviet-era architecture with modernization. The economy is based on agriculture, mining and remittances, and Yerevan has a long history of grape cultivation and winemaking, and is known as the "birthplace of wine". The warmth and hospitality of the Armenian people, its unique cultural traditions and its natural beauty (e.g. Lake Sevan) attract tourists from all over the world.
