Who knows where Armenia is?

Question

and any information about it

Answer 1

Armenia prides itself on being the first nation to formally adopt Christianity (early 4th century). Despite periods of autonomy, over the centuries Armenia came under the sway of various empires including the Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Persian, and Ottoman. During World War I in the western portion of Armenia, Ottoman Turkey instituted a policy of forced resettlement coupled with other harsh practices that resulted in an estimated 1 million Armenian deaths. The eastern area of Armenia was ceded by the Ottomans to Russia in 1828; this portion declared its independence in 1918, but was conquered by the Soviet Red Army in 1920. Armenian leaders remain preoccupied by the long conflict with Muslim Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh, a primarily Armenian-populated region, assigned to Soviet Azerbaijan in the 1920s by Moscow. Armenia and Azerbaijan began fighting over the area in 1988; the struggle escalated after both countries attained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. By May 1994, when a cease-fire took hold, Armenian forces held not only Nagorno-Karabakh but also a significant portion of Azerbaijan proper. The economies of both sides have been hurt by their inability to make substantial progress toward a peaceful resolution. Turkey imposed an economic blockade on Armenia and closed the common border because of the Armenian occupation of Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding areas

Answer 3

It used to be a part of the USSR. It is located South of Russia ( particularly, the region called Caucasus). Borders Turkey, Georgia and Russia. I lived really close to it but ( to my shame) I do not know much about it's history aside from some random facts (e.g. it was occupied by Turkey in 19th century and the Turkish killed and ravaged in Armenia; Armenian Christian Church is one of the oldest ). I know a lot of Armenian people ( all of them are in Russia).
What exactly is it that you'd like to know about this country? and why? are you going there? Are you from there - your ancestors?
