Armenia is a small country located in the centre of the Caucasus mountains. It is a land locked country surrounded by Muslim countries. Christianity is the primary state religion established since 301AD. In 1986, Armenia (formerly Soviet Armenia) had a population of 3.8 million. Since independence in 1991, deteriorating economic conditions have led to large scale emigration. Over 40% of the population lives below the poverty line, and a further 30% in relative poverty. Armenians have a rich and a colourful culture, their own alphabet and a socioeconomic structure that has allowed them to preserve their distinct way of life.
