'''Armenia''' is a small rugged, mountainous landlocked nation in the Caucasus, the crossroads of [[Europe]] and [[Asia]] which gained its independence back with the breakup of the former [[Soviet Union]] in 1989. Although it is in Asia geographically (located on the Asian side of the Caucasus, the Border between Europe and Asia), it is always considered European, because of its strong and ancient links with [[Europe]].  Present-day Armenia comprises Eastern Armenia, only half the historic homeland.  The Armenians in Western Armenia, with its iconic Mount Ararat, were driven out and mostly killed by the [[Ottoman Empire]] in 1915 in a genocide that to this day chills relations between Armenia and Turkey.  In addition many Armenians live in other countries, in the "Armenian Diaspora." Armenia was the first country in the world to adapt Christianity as its state religion in AD 301.
