Orthodox Armenia

Armenia is one of the most ancient countries on Earth.

Its history appears everywhere,

from the capital city of Yerevan

to the confined ends of the nation.

Having survived Alexander the Great, the Roman Empire, the 1915

Armenian Genocide, and dozens of other attempts to be conquered,

it has remained independent for most of its history.
