Armenia is home to one of the oldest civilizations on the planet. However, its territory has been shaped over time by the whims of neighboring forces, whether they be Ottoman, Persian, or Russian. Independent again, modern Armenia is rebuilding after seventy years of Soviet rule. It has proudly preserved its rich cultural heritage, as do the descendants of the survivors of the 1915 genocide. Discover its different facets, traces of its presence in eastern Turkey, and the unique architectural history shaped by seventeen centuries of Christianity. See Karabakh, a province that became independent after a war with Azerbaijan. Above all, meet the wonderful and proud people of this fierce nation, endowed with an unbelievable vitality, who always warmly welcome visitors with open arms.
