Armenian Culture has earned its place in the
history of the world by virtue of the fact that it is one of the oldest, continuous
civilisations today.
In AD 301 Armenia became the first country in the world
to adopt Christianity as its official religion.
The Armenian people have lived on the Armenian Plateau, a vast
territory stretching 300,000 square kilometres throughout the central and northern parts
of Asia Minor, since time immemorial.
The official language of Armenia is Armenian, an Indo-European
language with a distinct 38-letter alphabet. Many natives use the French 'Merci' to say
thank you so it is much appreciated.
