Armenia is a landlocked country located in the Transcaucasus region of Western Asia, with its capital Yerevan as its political, economic and cultural center. One of the oldest countries in the world, Armenia has a long history dating back to the 6th century B.C. and was the first country to adopt Christianity as its state religion (301 A.D.). Cities such as Yerevan are dotted with medieval churches, monasteries and stone crosses (khachkars) and are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The Armenian language is a separate branch of the Indo-European family and has a unique script. The cities are a blend of Eastern and Western cultures, and Yerevan's Republic Square, the Blue Mosque, and the ancient monasteries on the shores of Lake Sevan are a testament to its diverse charms. Despite the changes in history, Armenia has maintained its rich national traditions and hospitality.
