| | Armenia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In AD 301, Armenia became the first country in the world to adopt Christianity as its official state religion, twelve years before the Roman Empire granted Christianity official toleration under Galerius, and some 30-40 years before Constantine was baptised. | | | Armenia has been populated by humans since prehistoric times, and has been proposed as the site of the Biblical Garden of Eden. | | | However, international observers have questioned the fairness of Armenia's parliamentary and presidential elections and constitutional referenda since 1995, citing polling deficiencies, lack of cooperation by the electoral commission, and poor maintenance of electoral lists and polling places. |

| | We believe that the widespread pattern of violations that we found in Armenia -- combined with the climate of impunity for their perpetrators -- is indicative of the government's lack of commitment to the rule of law. | | | Human Rights Watch today condemned the failure by Armenian authorities to level credible charges against the bodyguards of President Robert Kocharian, who were implicated in a September murder. | | | There must be no repeat of the mass arrests that marred Armenia’s recent presidential election, Human Rights Watch said today. |

| | Caucasus Region Country Analysis Brief |
| | This is a significant pipeline because it allows Armenia to access Iran and Turkmenistan's gas exports without having to use Caspian Sea export routes. | | | The Caucasus Region, comprising the newly independent states of Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia, is important to world energy markets as a transit area for oil and natural gas exports from the Caspian Sea to Europe. | | | Critics such as Amnesty International, Green Alternative, Friends of the Earth, and others have conducted their own studies and fact finding missions, concluding that the pipeline may still be environmentally hazardous and even in violation of human rights. |
