Waco is a small, quiet, agricultural town in west-central Georgia, USA, part of Harris County, about 120 kilometers from Atlanta. With a population of less than 1,000, the town is known for its peanut growing and processing industry, and each fall hosts a small peanut festival to showcase its agricultural heritage. Waco retains a quintessential Southern small-town feel, with vintage buildings built in the late 1800's set against tree-lined streets for residents looking for a slower pace of life. The community has a strong atmosphere and is surrounded by the natural beauty of the Cedartown Mountains, where outdoor enthusiasts can hike or bird watch. While there are no major commercial facilities, neighboring Columbus and Phenix City, Alabama offer richer urban resources, making it one of Georgia's "hidden gems".
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. The local economy is based on fishing, tourism and agriculture, and the climate is cool enough for summer vacations.
