Peacefull Christian country Armenia Free country picture 4:35 whas not in armenia i made a mistake Acient 5000 Years old armenia The Armenian dance heritage has been one of the oldest, richest and most varied in the Near East. The ancestors of the Armenians established themselves in Hayastan (Armenia) about 650 BC, soon after the collapse of the Urartian empire. The geographic position proved both a curse and a blessing. Located at a crossroads between powerful empires, Armenia became a buffer state continually ravaged by invading armies, but distant enough to retain its own culture and identity. The geographic location encouraged commerce and exposed the Armenians to many other peoples: Phyrgians, Assyrians, Persians, Hellenic Greeks, Romans, Laz, Jews, Byzantines, Arabs, Kurds, Seljuks, Mongols, Osmanli, Georgians, Asiatic Albanians, Russians and countless others. Armenia (Armenian: Hayastan) is the only country remaining from 3000 year old maps of Anatolia. It became the worlds first Christian country more than 1700 years ago in 301 AD, and has a large Diaspora all over the world. As a former Soviet republic lying in the Caucasus region, straddling Asia and Europe, Armenia has an ancient and rich culture. Armenia is very easy to experience, thanks to very hospitable people. Landlocked, Armenia is bordered by Turkey to the west, Georgia to the north, Iran to the south, Azerbaijan to the east, and Azerbaijan's Naxcivan exclave to the southwest. Five percent of the ...

Jane's World Armies reports that both conscripts and officers from Armenia are routinely sent for duty to Karabakh, often posted to the frontline between Karabakh Armenian and Azerbaijani forces.[4] The Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia represents the Army, Air Force, Air Defense, and Border Guard. It was partially formed out of the former Soviet Army forces stationed in the Armenian SSR (parts of the Transcaucasian Military District). Being a landlocked country, Armenia has no navy.
