Armenia

Yerevan is the capital of Armenia. The other options are capitals of neighboring or regional countries: Tbilisi (Georgia), Baku (Azerbaijan), and Tashkent (Uzbekistan). Founded in 782 BCE as the fortress of Erebuni, Yerevan is one of the world’s oldest continuously inhabited cities. Known as the “Pink City” for its rosy tuff-stone buildings, it sits along the Hrazdan River with Mount Ararat—an enduring national symbol—looming on the horizon.
