Mount Ararat

So, we just mentioned Mt Ararat and we have to take a moment to explain just how special this place is for the country. Actually, it’s the national symbol of the nation. Mount Ararat’s peak is supposedly where Noah’s ark landed. Despite many expeditions, that ark was never recovered, but the ark is still on the nation’s coat of arms. Also, right now the actual mountain is not within Armenia’s territory.
