    Հայաստան ARMÊNIA EREVAN (CAPITAL) MAPA ARMÊNIA ARMÊNIA GERAL • A Armênia (português europeu) ou Armênia (português brasileiro) (em arménio Հայաստան , transl. Hayastan , ou Հայք , Hayq ), denominada oficialmente de República da Armênia , é um país localizado numa região montanhosa na Eurásia, entre o mar Negro e o mar Cáspio, no sul do Cáucaso. • Animal simbolo é a águia. • Faz fronteira com a Turquia a oeste, Geórgia ao norte, Azerbaijão a leste, e com o Irã e com o enclave de Nakhchivan (pertencente ao Azerbaijão) ao sul. Apesar de geograficamente estar inteiramente localizada na Ásia, a Armênia possui extensas relações sociopolíticas e culturais com a Europa. • Foi a menor das repúblicas da extinta União Soviética . A Armênia configura-se num estado unitário, multipartidário , democrático, com uma antiga herança histórica e cultural. Historicamente foi a primeira nação a adotar o cristianismo como religião de Estado em 301. A Armênia é constitucionalmente um estado secular, tendo a fé cristã uma grande identificação com o povo. O país é uma democracia emergente e por causa de sua posição estratégica, tenta conciliar alianças com a Rússia e com o Oriente Médio . • Entre 1915 e 1923 sofreu o que os historiadores consideram o primeiro genocídio do século XX, perpetrado pelo Império Otomano e negado até hoje pela República da Turquia . As mortes são estimadas em 1,5 milhão de armênios e a deportação de milhões de outros, fazendo com que a Armênia tenha uma diáspora gigantesca pelo mundo, de descendentes que fugindo das perseguições, tomaram o rumo de países como França, EUA , Argentina, Brasil, Líbano e muitos outros.
