History and Culture of Armenia

Armenia (Hayastan  in Armenian), officially the Republic of Armenia is situated between Europe and Asia, in Transcaucasia occupying 29.800sq/km area. Armenia is divided into 11 regions (Marz). The capital of the country is Yerevan.  The population of Armenia is 3.2 million people. The country has a very homogeneous ethnic composition, 97.9% of the population is of ethnic Armenian origin. Among other minorities are Russians, Yezidi, Assyrians, Ukrainians, Greeks, Georgians, and Belorussian. Armenia has a very large Diasporas, as an average of 8 million Armenians live world.

Culturally, historically and politically, Armenia is considered to be a part of Europe. However, due to its location in the southern Caucasus, on the conventional boundary between Europe and Asia, we can say that it’s an intercontinental country. Endowed with rich cultural heritage, Armenia is considered to be the first country to officially accept Christianity in the IV century (301).

GEOGRAPHY

Armenia is a country without access to the sea located in the Caucasus, in the southern Caucasus, the north-east of the Armenian Plateau, between the Black and Caspian Seas. The relief is mainly mountainous, with mountain rivers and few forests, extinct volcanoes, deep canyons, high plateaus, formed from lava, crossed by deep ravines. Most of the country is located at 1800 meters above sea level. The highest point is Mount Aragats (4092m), while the lowest is located in Debed valley (400m).

CLIMATE

Armenia stands out with a large variety of landscapes, including 7 geographic zones, from deserts and semi-deserts to alpine and sub-alpine meadows. Because of the numerous mountain formations, which block the influence of seas, and the high location of the territory above sea level, the climate is continental with a large difference between the seasons, including hot summers and cold winters. Average summer temperatures exceed 25 º C, while in winter the temperature is  -5 º C. The best time to visit the country is from April to October.

LANGUAGE

The official language is Armenian, while Russian and English are also frequently used. Armenian language is a separate branch of Indo-European language family, between groups of Slavic and Greek languages. The Armenian alphabet, created by Mesrop Mashtots in 405 AD, has been used until now, without any changes over the centuries.

MONETARY UNIT

The national currency is AMD, with notes of 1000, 5000, 10.000, 20.000, 50.000, 100.000 drams, as well as coins of 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 drams. In all banks and exchanges you may freely change the currency and there are no limits on currency exchange.

Knowing where you’re going to live while you’re studying abroad is very important because it can impact how much you enjoy your experience studying in another country. If you’re living somewhere you don’t like or somewhere don’t feel safe, it can make you feel down about your overall experience. However if you’re living with people you get on well with and you feel comfortable, you can focus on your studies and make lifelong friends in the process.

University set aside enough spaces in on-campus accommodation for first year international students. This is to make the accommodation process easier, sparing them from having to find reputable third party landlords and letting agents. Plus international students might not be able to come to the country before their course begins to view accommodation. It also means that international students feel comfortable as they will be on campus close to university staff and other students, rather than in a new, strange city.
