The Armenian Mountains

The Armenian Mountains, part of the greater Caucasus Range, are a rugged and historically significant region spanning Armenia and neighboring countries. These mountains feature diverse landscapes, including high peaks, deep valleys, and lush forests, playing a vital role in climate, agriculture, and local ecosystems. They have cultural importance, shaping Armenian history and identity, and are home to unique flora and fauna. The highest point is Mount Ararat, considered sacred and historically linked to Armenia's identity, although it lies just across the border in Turkey. The mountains continue to influence the region’s geography, climate, and cultural heritage.
