Armenia is one of the oldest countries on Earth, its rich history apparent at every turn, from the capital city of Yerevan to
the outskirts of the nation. It survived the Roman Empire, Alexander the Great, the
Armenian Genocide in 1915 and dozens of other attempts at conquest - remaining
largely independent throughout its history.Armenia was also among the first post-
Soviet countries to readily embrace capitalism, which served to improve
somewhat the standard of living.
