Armenia is a former Soviet republic located in the mountainous Caucasus region between Asia and Europe. One of the first Christian civilizations, it is identified by religious sites such as the Greco-Roman Temple of Garni and the Etchmiadzin Cathedral, seat of the Armenian Church dating from the 4th century. The Khor Virap monastery is a pilgrimage site near Mount Ararat, a dormant volcano across the border in Turkey.
