Armenia has 29,800km and 3 million people. It is the safest and easiest Caucasus countries to visit. Around 90%!o(MISSING)f the population belong to Apostolic church. The Muslim is rare. The Soviet Union invaded the country in1921 and ruled this country until 1990. When Stalin took over the power and the Armenia lived in fear and terror with tens thousands of Armenians were executed.

During WW2 about 500,000 Armenian out of 1.4 million population were mobilised and 175,000 of them died in the war.

When Stalin died in 1953 Nikita Khruschev became a new leader of the Soviet Union, then the life of Armenia began better. The country regained independence on 8-23-1990 after Gorbachev 's reform began.
