Republic
of Armenia
(Text by Hye Etch)
Introduction
Armenia,
a cradle of civilization. A land of unspoiled natural
beauty, with its snow-peaked mountains, lush green
valleys, life giving rivers and lakes. A land which
has been constantly invaded by ancient civilizations,
a battlefield for rivaling great empires, but also
a land of prosperity and commerce.
The
home land of all Armenians. A nation whose ancestral
history dates back 2000 years B.C. A nation whose
culture and arts influenced and intrigued other civilizations.
Whose fine sculpture and world famous church architecture
adorn the hills and plains of this great land.
In
short, Armenia is literally an Open Air Museum
set in one of the most beautiful and unspoiled regions
of this big planet of ours, Earth.
