Yerevan, the capital and largest city of Armenia, is located at the foot of Mount Ararat on the banks of the Yarara River. It is one of the oldest cities in the Caucasus, founded in 782 BC, and is regarded as "the oldest capital in the world". As the political, economic and cultural center of Armenia, Yerevan is a blend of ancient history and modernity: the remains of Yerevan Castle and the Blue Mosque in the Old Town speak of the vicissitudes of a thousand years, while the spacious boulevards and modern art venues show the vitality of the city. The pleasant climate, mild summers and low snowfall winters, and the mix of religions and cultures, as well as Armenia's unique stone carvings, carpets, and traditional cuisine (such as kebabs and apricot products) exude a regional flavor that attracts visitors to this "Pearl of the Caucasus".
São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
