About Armenia
Armenia is a landlocked country in the South Caucasus, with Yerevan as its capital and largest city. It was the first nation to adopt Christianity as a state religion, traditionally dated to AD 301, and recognises the Armenian Apostolic Church as its primary religious establishment. Mount Ararat, now in Turkey, appears on its national emblem.
