Mono-Ethnic Country
Just as most people are Christian, the entire country also has a majority ethnicity living there. In fact, it’s one of the rare mono ethnic countries on the planet. About 97 percent of the population are Armenian. That other three percent is made of up of ethnic minorities like, Ukranians, Kurds, Russians, Yazidis and others.

Armenian Genocide
Even if someone doesn’t know much about Armenia, chances are they’ve heard about the Armenia Genocide. Records estimate that around 1.5 million Armenians were killed under the Ottoman rule in 1915. In Yerevan, with a stunning view of the city and Mt Ararat, you can find the Genocide museum and memorial. Just after WWI, the genocide took place in three phases from men being recruited to the army and killed to killing women and finally, children and elderly. Today Turkey still denies it took place. However, 28 countries, such as Russia, France and Britain classify the systematic extermination as genocide.
