Armenians are the oldest Christian nation in the world. Armenia became the first country to adopt Christianity as the official state religion in 301 AD. Armenian Apostolic(Gregorian) Church developed separately both from Catholic and Orthodox Branches of Christianity. Armenia is an ancient country that had once had a great power, but only fora short period. The realm of King Tigranes the Second, in the 1st century BC, stretched from the Caspian Sea to Syria and the Mediterranean, before it was conquered by the Romans. The three Caucasian countries, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia, lying between Caspian and Black Seas are not so large and it is possible to see them all at a time. This trip can be called "A glance on the Caucasus". We will certainly see all the most important, exotic and ancient places of interest in these countries. But a fortnight is notenough to feel the nature of these places and get the spirit of these people.
