世界上第一個將基督教視為官方宗教的國家,但因為四周都是伊斯蘭教國家,再加上和東邊鄰居亞塞拜然有「納卡區域」的飛地之爭,所以被視為高加索的火藥庫地帶,時常發生衝突。2020年打輸亞塞拜然,時任總理簽了一份割地的停火協議,導致納卡地區整碗送給亞塞拜然,總理也因此下台。一戰期間,鄂圖曼土耳其帝國曾對其統治下的亞美尼亞人進行種族屠殺,所以現在和土耳其也是水火不容。

Armenia is the first country in the world to recognize Christianity as its official religion. However, surrounded by Islamic countries with enclave disputes in the region of Nagorno-Karabakh with Azerbaijan, the neighboring country to the east, this country is known as the gunpowder barrel of the Caucasus, prone to various conflicts. After losing the war with Azerbaijan in 2020, the Prime Minister signed a ceasefire agreement which resulted in the surrender of the entire area of Nagorno-Karabakh to Azerbaijan, eventually leading to the Prime Minister stepping down over it. During World War I, the Ottoman Turkish Empire committed genocide against Armenians in their jurisdiction, so they are hostile towards Turkey now, as well.
