Where is Armenia

Armenia is a landlocked country in the Armenian Highlands of West Asia, located just south of the Caucasus mountain range. It is bordered by Turkey to the west, Georgia to the north, Iran on the south, and the Azerbaijani exclave of Nakhchivan (Historically part of Armenia up to 1921 but transferred to Azerbaijan by the Bolsheviks. On March 16, 1921, Soviet Russia and Turkey signed an agreement in Moscow, according to which Nakhichevan was transferred to the guardianship of Soviet Azerbaijan. Before that, Nakhichevan was part of the First Republic of Armenia. From the point of view of international law, this was an absolutely illegal agreement. Two countries transferred the territory of a third state, which they themselves recognized as sovereign, to a fourth state, without their participation or even asking for their opinion.) to the southwest. Armenia has a total area of 29,743 square kilometers (11,484 square miles) and a population of about 3 million people.

The capital and largest city of Armenia, Yerevan, is strategically located along the Hrazdan River, nestled in the northeastern part of the Ararat Plain. Serving as the nation's administrative, cultural, and industrial hub, Yerevan stands as a vibrant center of both heritage and modern development.
