Our Location

Armenia is located in the Armenian Plateau and occupies a central location at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. Armenia’s territory is about 29,743 sq kilometers. It is a mountainous country where lovely landscapes can be seen, even from the capital city of Yerevan.

Another reason to visit Armenia is to experience one of the world's oldest, yet most modern cities — Yerevan!

Yerevan's architecture, culture, and customs are a harmonious fusion of the old and the new. When you walk around Yerevan, you'll notice both newly constructed buildings with modern architectural design and 19th-century structures with beautiful ornamentation. You can even notice buildings that incorporate old and new elements within a single structure.

Visit Republic Square, Cascade Complex, and Cafesjian Center for Arts, Opera, and Ballet Theater in Yerevan. Walk along Buzandi, Aram, and Abovyan streets to wonder about the oldest structures of Yerevan city. Check the Vernissage and Gum gift markets to take a piece of Armenia home with you.

The Beginning

“Who are we?” and “Where do we come from?” are humankind's biggest questions. Armenians had also contemplated the nation's beginnings throughout the ages and tried to find answers to these questions.
Armenians are the descendants of Hayk, one of Noah's inheritors. After defeating the Mesopotamian tyrant Bel, Hayk commanded his people in the Armenian Plateau, and they started calling themselves Hay (Armenian) and the country – Hayq (the land of Hays, Armenians).

In the existence of the Urartian civilization, Armenians were part of the local population. Although the primary spoken language was Urartian, old Armenian was also widely practiced. Interestingly, the Armenian Kingdoms and States of the following periods were formed on the same territories as the Urartian Kingdom, making the Armenian population a straight line of descent from our predecessors.

When in Yerevan, visit the Erebuni Museum and archeological site, uncover the Urartian past of the area and learn the chronology of the people living here from Erebuni to Yerevan times.
