Wallis and Futuna is a French overseas territory located in the South Pacific Ocean, consisting of the Wallis and Futuna Islands and the island of Alofi, with Mata'utu as its capital. Located about 200 kilometers west of the Samoan Islands, it has a tropical maritime climate that is warm and humid throughout the year. The local culture is a blend of Polynesian traditions and French influences, with tribal customs, such as the traditional dance "Mewa" and handicraft weaving. The economy is based on fishing and agriculture (coconuts, taro), with a small but promising tourism industry. The official languages are French and Wallisian, and the population is mostly Catholic. As one of France's most remote overseas territories, its unique geographical location and cultural diversity make it a unique presence in the Pacific.
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.

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.
