Organizzazione tecnica ACLIVIAGGI NOTIZIE UTILI L'Armenia, (capoluogo: Erevan) è uno Stato indipendente eurasiatico senza sbocco al mare, situato nel Caucaso meridionale. Si trova tra il Mar Nero e il Mar Caspio e confina con la Turchia ad ovest, la Georgia a nord, l'Azerbaijan ad est e l'Iran e l'exclave azera del Nakhchivan a sud. Il nome ufficiale dello stato è Repubblica di Armenia. Origine e storia del nome Il nome originario del paese era Hayq, divenuto più tardi Hayastan, traducibile come "la terra (stan è un tipico suffisso persiano per indicare un territorio) di Haik". Secondo la leggenda, Haik era un discendente di Noè (essendo figlio di Togarmah, che era nato da Gomer, a sua volta nato dal figlio di Noè, Yafet) e, secondo la tradizione cristiana, antenato di tutti gli armeni. Haik si stabilì ai piedi del monte Ararat, partì poi per assistere alla costruzione della Torre di Babele e, ritornato, sconfisse il re assiro Nimrod presso il lago di Van, nell'attuale Turchia. Il termine Armenia fu coniato dai popoli confinanti a partire dal nome della più potente tribù presente nel territorio (gli armeni, appunto) e deriva da Armenak (o Aram), un discendente di Haik e un grande condottiero del popolo armeno. Fonti pre-cristiane riportano invece la derivazione dal termine Nairi (cioè "terra dei fiumi") che è l'antico nome della regione montuosa del paese e che è usato da alcuni storici greci sia dall'iscrizione di Behistun, ritrovata in Iran e risalente al 521 a.C. Storia Nel primo secolo a.C., durante il regno di Tigrane II d'Armenia, l'Armenia costituiva un impero regionale che si estendeva dalle coste del mar Nero al mar Caspio e a quelle del Mediterraneo. Nel 301 l'Armenia fu il primo stato al mondo ad adottare il cristianesimo come religione di stato, precedendo così di alcuni decenni l'impero romano. Con il succedersi delle dinastie e delle occupazioni di parti, romani, arabi, mongoli e persiani, lo stato fu notevolmente indebolito. Nel 1454, l'impero ottomano e la Persia dominata dai Safavidi si spartirono la regione. Tra il 1813 e il 1828 il territorio che corrisponde all'attuale Armenia (i khanati di Erivan e Karabakh) furono temporaneamente annessi all'impero russo. Dopo un breve periodo di indipendenza coinciso con la fine

    40 CHURCHES IN 7 DAYS 7 DAY TOUR ITINERARY* DAY 1 Meeting at the airport, transfer to the hotel and check-in. The first steps of your Pilgrimage will start from Katoghike Holy Mother of God and Zoravor Surb Astvatsatsin Churches, both dating back to the XIII century, situated in the centre of Yerevan. To get acquainted with the capital of Armenia, we will have a City Tour in Yerevan - one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and the only one, that has a "Birth Certificate" - a cuneiform inscription, left by King Argishti I on a basalt stone slab about the foundation of the city in 782 BC, displayed at the Erebuni Fortress-Museum. Yerevan is often pegged as the "Pink City" because of the colour of the stones used to build much of the city centre. Another name of Yerevan is an "Open-air Museum", the reason of which you will understand upon your visit. We will start the City tour from visiting Cascade Monument which is about 450 meters high and 50 meters wide. A panoramic view from the top of Cascade opens up a breathtaking city view with Opera House, Mount Ararat, Swan Lake, Republic Square and posh Northern Avenue, along which you will walk down during the tour. We will also visit Matenadaran, which means a "book-depository" in old Armenian. Indeed, Matenadaran is the pride of Armenian culture, the world's largest storage of ancient manuscripts. In fact, it is a scientific research institute of ancient manuscripts which stores more than 17 thousand ancient manuscripts and more than 100 thousand ancient archival documents.

  • Armenia and the Armenian Apostolic Church Dr. Law Chi Lim Armenia Is
    Armenia and the Armenian Apostolic Church Dr. Law Chi Lim Armenia is a landlocked country in South Caucasia in Euroasia. The Armenians trace their origin as far back as 1000 BC, and the Armenian Empire at its zenith ( 95 to 66 BC) occupied a much larger areas than what it does today, encompassing lands in what is now Eastern Turkey and Iran. In the past, Armenia has been invaded and conquered numerous times by her powerful neighbours: Persians, Monguls, Arabs, Ottoman Turks and Russians. Thus , the history of the land, particularly in the 20th century, is one of tragedy and trauma, resulting in waves of exodus of its people. The fact is , while there are only about 3 million people living in present-day Armenia now , there are up to 8 million ethnic Armenians living outside the country in various parts of the world. The Armenian Apostolic Church Christianity spread to Armenia as early as AD 40 . In fact, it was in AD 301 that it became the first country in the history of the world to make Christianity a state religion---- a full ten years before the Roman Empire officially stopped persecuting Christians, and 36 years before Constantine the Great was baptized. Tradition has it that it was Bartholomew and Thaddeus ( two of the original twelve apostles of Christ) who went to Armenia to spread the gospel in the 1st century and hence the name of Armenia Apostolic Church. While initially the church remained in communion with the religious authorities in Rome, in time, because of theological reasons( Note 1), it began to distant itself from Rome .

  • Turquie Georgie Armenie 2008
    Armelle & Georges Sénécaut Sud-Caucase août-sept 2008 TURQUIE GEORGIE ARMENIE 2008 Préambule. Nous nous rendons en Turquie en camping-car (CC) pour la quatrième fois, le voyage précédent ayant eu lieu en 1996. Nous avions déjà parcouru la Turquie de l'Est en particulier à la recherche des sites Arméniens abandonnés, mais sans négliger les autres. J'avais eu l'occasion de me rendre deux fois en Arménie pour le même centre d'intérêt mais par voie aérienne. C'est la rencontre des Lamaud, seul avec leur CC à la douane Géorgienne qui nous a décidés, d'autant que nous voici tous deux à la retraite. Nous partons en solitaire avec un nouveau CC acheté d'occasion, un Fleurette Harle soit un profilé de 6,30m, le porteur étant un Citroën Jumper type II 127 cv, 2,8l diesel. Ce compte-rendu ne se veut pas un résumé de nos états d'âmes mais un rapport quotidien de nos rencontres, de ce qu'il a été possible de faire et surtout des astuces et repères qui vous permettrons de trouver les sites plus aisément et donc de ne pas perdre de temps surtout si votre séjour est de durée limitée. Je pense que c'est l'aide inter-camping-cariste la plus utile, la plus efficace pour ces destinations lointaines. Il faut redire ici l'extrême simplicité, l'extrême gentillesse, l'extrême disponibilité et l'hospitalité exemplaire des habitants de ces régions, pour qui l'accueil du voyageur a encore une signification. Une belle leçon pour nous occidentaux. Vous en trouverez de nombreux exemples parmi ces lignes et je vous prie d'essayer de transposer quelques instants ce type de situation en France.
