More about Armenia
Armenia borders in the north with Georgia , in the northeast, east and southeast with Azerbaijan (in the south with its autonomous republic Nakhichevan), in the southeast with Iran and in the west and southwest with Turkey.
Armenia is a highly earthquake-prone mountainous country, which is largely occupied by the mountain ranges of the Lesser Caucasus and includes the north-eastern part of the Ararat Highlands (Armenian Highlands).
About 90% of the territory is over 1,000 m above sea level, 40% over 2,000 m above sea level. The mountains of the Lesser Caucasus include, among others. in the north the Pambak (up to 3 101 m above sea level), in the central area the Sevan or Schachdagh Mountains (up to 2 902 m above sea level), in the central and eastern part of the country the Wardenis (3 522 m above sea level) and Sangesur Mountains (3,904 m above sea level). In the western part, the Aragaz massif, protruding from a volcanic plateau, is the highest point in Armenia at 4,090 m above sea level.
The 5 137 m high Ararat, symbol of the Armenians, is located on Turkish territory.
Lake Sevan, which is endangered by river regulation, lies in a tectonic depression in the east. In the southwest on the border river Arax , Armenia shares in the eastern part of the rough highlands of Kars and the steppe-like Ararat plain at 800 m to 1,000 m above sea level.
Climate
Although located in the subtropical zone, the climate, especially in the Armenian highlands, has a continental character with severe winters and hot summers with mostly cloudy skies and low relative humidity. Depending on the location in the mountains, altitude and exposure, there are regional and local differentiations. The climate of the foothills and valleys is characterized by dry, hot summers and cold winters with little snow (mean July temperature 24–26 ° C, mean January temperature −5 ° C, 200 to 400 mm annual rainfall); Moderate temperatures prevail on the plateaus and at medium altitudes (July mean 18 ° C, January mean −2 to −8 ° C) with a high snow cover (600–800 mm annual precipitation). In the basins and valleys, the maximum rainfall is in the spring and the minimum in the summer months. Another minimum occurs as a result of the anticyclonic weather in winter. In the mountains, the climate is more humid with rainfall relatively evenly distributed over the year.
Vegetation
The lower parts of the central Ararat plain, which are used as winter pastures, have semi-desert vegetation with halophytic vegetation. Dry plants (xerophytes) mainly grow in the plains of the middle altitudes and the low mountain ranges. Steppe plants predominate on the plateau-like plateaus. The plains are now largely used for agricultural purposes through irrigation. Only about 12% of the country is forested (mainly in the northeast and southeast). Widespread are inter alia. Pine, macaw oak and hornbeam; the alpine pastures of the upper mountain ranges are used as summer pastures.
Nature conservation: Armenia has several strictly protected nature reserves and with Sevan, Dilischan, Arpi and Arevik four national parks for the protection of flora and fauna.
Population
Armenia is the Caucasian state with the greatest ethnic homogeneity. 98% of the residents are Armenians. Kurds, Russians, Ukrainians, Assyrians, Greeks and members of other nationalities form minorities. The bloody conflict over Nagorno Karabakh , which is inhabited by Armenians but belongs to Azerbaijan, led to massive population exchanges in the early 1990s: Muslim Azerbaijanis (Asiri) fled Armenia, Christian Armenians from Azerbaijan.
In addition, young and well-educated Armenians left their homeland because of the poor economic situation. Mass emigration has a long tradition in the country; the number of Armenians living in other states far exceeds the population of the country. The largest diaspora communities are in Los Angeles and Moscow. – With an average (2017) of 103 residents / km 2 , the mountainous region is comparatively densely populated; however, the population distribution is very uneven. Only 5% of the population live in areas above 2,000 m above sea level. The main areas of settlement are the lower basin landscapes and valleys on the upper reaches of Worotan and Arpa (10% of the land area). Over 45% of the population live in the greater Yerevan area alonein the central part of Armenia. Overall, the proportion of the urban population is 62%.
