Armenia is a country in Western Asia, bordered by Georgia on the north, Azerbaijan on the east, Iran on the south, and Turkey on the west. Together with Georgia and Azerbaijan , Armenia is located in Transcaucasia. It lies in the territory called the Armenian Plateau. The Plateau itself is about 300,000 square kilometers of mountains, rivers, and fertile though rocky land. The two geographical features that stand out most about Armenia are the mountains and Lake Sevan. The average elevation is between 1,000 and 2,500m, with the lowest point being 500 meters. The capital Yerevan is on the large, dry Ararat plain which is about 1,500m above sea level. The highest point in the Republic is the peak of Mt. Aragats, which is 4090m high. |
