Historically Armenia and Azerbaijan have been long associated with Asia and the Middle East. In recent years some sources now consider
them to be more closely aligned with Europe based on their modern economic and political trends. I.E. Both are similar to the former CIS
country of Georgia, now included as part of Europe. We have moved in that direction as we attempt here to show the modern definitions,
but in worldwide geography, there are often many answers (or opinions) to what appears to be a simple question.

Country Details Armenia is a mountainous, landlocked country, on the southeastern edge of Europe, and at the gateway to the Middle East, and all of Asia. That valuable geographical position for potential trade between continents became a curse of sorts. Over the centuries it was invaded and controlled by various empires, including the Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Persian, and Ottoman. Incorporated into the former Soviet Union in 1920, it finally, along with Azerbaijan, gained independence in 1991. Regional fighting with its neighbor (Azerbaijan) over land control bloodied both countrys, and a cease-fire agreement was finally reached in 1994. The local economy still suffers from the long-term ramifications of war, an Azerbaijan fuel blockade, and a very severe 1988 earthquake that destroyed much of its infrastructure, and killed over 55,000 of its citizens. The Armenia maps and information pages are currently being revised, and will be posted soon.
