Armenia is located in the northeastern part of the Armenian Highlands. It is a mountainous landlocked country. In the north, the country borders on Georgia, in the south - with Iran, in the east - with Azerbaijan, in the west - with Turkey. Geographically, Armenia is Asia, although culturally closer to Europe.

Is Armenia in Europe or Asia? Many consider Armenia to be part of Europe, although in reality it is located in Asia.

Mount Ararat, the most replicated image of Armenia, is in fact now located on the territory of modern Turkey, 32 km from the state border of Armenia. Formerly sacred to all Armenians, Mount Ararat was located on the territory of Western Armenia, which remained part of the Ottoman Empire.

Time difference from UTC +4. International designation Armenia Time (AMT).

Daylight saving time is not used in Armenia, therefore UTC is constant all year round. There is one time zone throughout the country.
The IANA time zone identifier for Armenia is Asia / Yerevan.
For example, the time difference with Moscow, Kiev and Minsk is 1 hour, that is, when it is 17:00 in Russia, it is already 18:00 in Armenia.

Armenia is actually located at a subtropical latitude, but the country has a subtropical climate only in the south. The rest of the territory is dominated by a continental mountain climate. Regardless of the season, the weather, due to the difficult landscape and altitude, can be strikingly different even within the same city. For example, even within Yerevan, the temperature difference between the two regions can reach 4-5 degrees.

Yes, it's safe. There is a low crime rate in Armenia. Statistically, the tourist is not in any danger. People are not stolen in Armenia, and home thefts are very rare. Although it is worth being careful in public transport. In Armenia, you can safely walk at night, let your children go to the yard during the day without supervision and not worry about the safety of your property. However, no one canceled the rules of respect for the traditions and laws of the owners of the house, and of common sense, of course.

In Armenia, foreigners are treated friendly and open. A foreigner will always be helped to fill out the necessary documents, will prompt the address and, in general, will help in every possible way. It is not for nothing that Armenian hospitality is famous all over the world.
For tourists there is even their own police, they are called "Angels", you can see them on the streets, they are in blue uniforms. Their task is to help people.
