Madinani is a town in the north of Côte d'Ivoire, in the Savanes Region, near the border with Burkina Faso, and is one of the region's major agricultural and commercial centers. The local economy is predominantly agricultural, with cotton, peanuts, millet and maize being the main crops grown, and a certain amount of animal husbandry. Madinani has relatively simple market facilities and serves as a hub for neighboring villages to trade agricultural products and purchase household goods. Although the infrastructure is still developing, its location makes it one of the border trade nodes connecting Côte d'Ivoire with neighboring Burkina Faso. The population is in the tens of thousands, and the inhabitants, mainly ethnic groups such as the Senufo, retain a traditional farming culture and communal way of life.
Sevan is a small town in the Armenian province of Gegharkunik, located in the eastern part of the country on the shores of Lake Sevan, about 66 kilometers from the capital city of Yerevan.

Lake Sevan is surrounded by magnificent landscapes and crystal clear waters, making it an important tourist and recreational destination in Armenia. The town boasts historical monuments such as the Sevan Monastery, a 9th-century monastery situated on a peninsula overlooking the lake, which attracts many tourists and pilgrims. The local economy is based on fishing, tourism and agriculture, and the climate is cool enough for summer vacations.
With a population of around 20,000, the town of Sevan retains its traditional Armenian culture, while the infrastructure is constantly being improved to provide accommodation and catering services. It is an ideal starting point for exploring the nature and history of the Caucasus and is easily accessible for short trips.
