Armenia

Armenia is a highland country in the South Caucasus. Mountain basins and volcanic uplands connect its geography with neighbouring parts of eastern Anatolia and the Lesser Caucasus.

Fast Facts

  • Yerevan lies in the Ararat plain region.
  • The country has no Caspian or Black Sea coast.
  • Its relationships with Nagorno-Karabakh and the Lachin region are historical and political connections, not evidence that those areas are part of Armenia.
