  • Ararat Marz Guidebook
    ARARAT MARZ GUIDEBOOK 2014 ARARAT FACTS ARARAT Ararat is one of Armenia’s 10 provinces, whose capital is Artashat. Named after Mount Ararat, the province borders Turkey to the west and Azerbaijan’s Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic to the south. Two former Armenian capitals are located in this region, Artashat and Dvin, as well as the Khor Virap monastery, significant as the place of Gregory the Illuminator’s 13-year imprisonment and for being the closest point to Mount Ararat within Armenian borders. The province consists of 97 com- munities, known as hamaynkner, of which four are considered urban and 93 rural. Spanning an area of 1995 km2 and home to a population of 311,400 people, its administrative Center is Artashat which is 29km from Yerevan. Ararat borders the following provinces: Armavir to the northwest, Kotayk to the north, Gegharkunik 1. It is rumoured that Sir Winston’s favourite tipple came out of the Ararat valley in the east and Vayots Dzor to the southeast. Ararat also has a border with the city of Yerevan in the north, between its borders with Armavir and Kotayk. Ararat’s moun- tains include the Yeranos range, Vishapasar 3157m, Geghasar 3443m, and Kotuts 2061m, Urts 2445m. The province also has a number of lakes including: Sev, Azat, Armush, and Karalich as well as the Arax, Azat, Hrazdan, Yotnakunk, Vedi, and Artashat Rivers. During the period from 331 BC to 428 AD, the Armenian Kingdom was also known as Greater Armenia (Mets Hayk) and consisted of 15 states. One of those original states was Ayrarat.

  • Wild Perennial Pea Vavilovia Formosa (Steven) Fed. (Fabaceae) Is a Relic and an Endangered Species of the Alpine Flora of Armeni
    Summary: Wild perennial pea Vavilovia formosa is a relic and an endangered species of the upper alpine flora of Armenia, specialized to scree habitats. The populations of V. formosa in Armenia, as well as in other sites of the world, are in danger of extinction and need both in situ and ex situ complementary investigation and conservation. Present article contains information on V. formosa Aknasar mountain population studies. Data on natural conditions, flora composition, ecological and coenotic characteristic of the habitat and bio-ecological features of V. formosa are given. The present state of Vavilovia population of mountain Aknasar is satisfactory. The activation of seed reproduction along with vegetative propagation is observed. One of the natural threats leading to the change and reduction of Vavilovia population was estimated to be the overgrowing of mobile scree habitats with turf-forming grasses, which creates conditions for the mountain-meadow vegetation development. V. formosa ex situ conservation strategy is one of the possible ways of its adaptive capacity estimation to environment changes as well as for its saving and using in basic and applied researches. An introductory experiment on the cultivation of Vavilovia in the Yerevan and Sevan Botanical Gardens has started, and some data on bio-morphological and eco-physiological peculiarities under ex situ conditions were obtained. Key words: Aknasar mountain, Armenia, bio-ecological studies, ex situ cultivation, Vavilovia formosa 1939) is a separate branch in the tribe Fabeae (Fabaceae). Its origin is associated with upper alpine, Wild perennial pea Vavilovia formosa (Steven) Fed. high mountain zones of Great and Lesser Caucasus, (Fabaceae) is a relic and an endangered species of the North and North-Western Iran, Northern Iraq, alpine flora of Armenia, highly specialized to small areas Anatolia, Syria and Lebanon.
