Armenia (i/ɑːrˈmiːniə/, /-ˈmiːnjə/;Armenian: Հայաստան, tr. Hayastan, IPA: [hɑjɑsˈtɑn]), officially the Republic of Armenia (Armenian: Հայաստանի Հանրապետություն, tr. Hayastani Hanrapetut’yun), is a sovereign state in the South Caucasus region of Eurasia. Located in Western Asia, it is bordered by Turkey to the west, Georgia to the north, the de facto independent Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and Azerbaijan to the east, and Iran and the Azerbaijani exclave of Nakhchivan to the south.
Armenia is a unitary, multi-party, democratic nation-state with an ancient cultural heritage. The Kingdom of Van was established in 860 BC and by the 6th century BC it was replaced by the Satrapy of Armenia. In the 1st century BC the Kingdom of Armenia reached its height under Tigranes the Great. Armenia became the first state in the world to adopt Christianity as its official religion. In between the late 3rd century to early years of the 4th century, the state became "the first Christian nation." The official date of state adoption of Christianity was 301 AD. The ancient Armenian kingdom was split between the Byzantine and Sasanid empires around the early 5th century. Under the Bagratuni dynasty, the Armenian Kingdom was restored in the 9th century. Declining due to the wars against the Byzantines, the kingdom fell in 1045 and Armenia was soon after invaded by the Seljuk Turks. An Armenian principality and later a kingdom Cilician Armenia was located on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea between the 11th and 14th centuries.

Aylazan Այլազան - Vegetable Ragout Recipe by Heghineh http://heghineh.com/vegetable-ragout-recipe/ Simple and delicious vegetarian, vegan dish, slow cooked vegetable ragout or stew.The dish is named Aylazan in Armenian, or as many other Caucasians call it Adjab Sandal. Funny to say, that I remember how my mom and grandma would make this vegetable ragout, every time they clean and empty out the fridge. In Armenia,when it's the summertime, everyone's fridge is always full of different seasonal veggies. And sometimes, when you don't manage to use everything, while fresh, that's when this dish is the perfect choice to go with. Aylazan is a Caucasian dish, and as you would expect, it's made differently by different people. I'll present my Armenian version of this delicious, healthy vegetable ra...

Tarragon Lamb Shanks Recipe by Heghineh http://heghineh.com/lamb-shanks-recipe If you never tried tarragon lamb shanks, a dish from Armenian cuisine, you're missing out on something very delicious and so unique. It’s a classic dish, that's quite popular in some modern, Armenian restaurants. Richness and simplicity of flavors make this tarragon lamb shank dish a real gourmet meal. Traditionally it's served with spelt wheat, on the side, or as we call it in Armenian : hachar. But I find that simple, cooked, whole potatoes will be a great side to this tarragon lamb shank dish. Especially, when potatoes are drizzled with that rich, flavorful and thick lamb bouillon. If you go with potatoes for side dish,I will recommend to use small, unpeeled potatoes with thin tender skin. For Home Cooking C...
The Armenians are very hospitable, we got invited in for lunch with a wonderful family.
Heghineh Cooking Show - Armenian Easter Dish - Rice with Raisins Recipe http://heghineh.com/rice-with-raisins/ An absolute “must dish” for Armenian Easter table : rice with raisins / Չամիչով փլավ. Probably one of everyone’s most favorite meals on that special day. This delicious rice with raisins can be made a few different ways, depending on your taste preference. Better to use long grain rice and wet the rice in salty water for a couple of hours. I like making mine topped with a few layers of crispy flat bread lavash. Variety of dried fruits can be added , keeping the raisins as a must. Hope you try my version of this delicious rice with raisins, and enjoy it!
