The Republic of Armenia, or Armenia (Armenian: ÕÕ¡ÕµÕ¡Õ½Õ¿Õ¡Õ¶, Hayastan, ÕÕ¡ÕµÖ, Hayq), is a landlocked country in the southern Caucasus, between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, bordered by Turkey to the west, Georgia to the north, Azerbaijan to the east and Iran (Persia) and the Nakhichevan exclave of Azerbaijan to the south.
In the Republic of Armenia portion, the mineral and agricultural resources are intensively exploited, but the Turkish and Iranian sections of historic Armenia are poorly developed.
The major enemies of medieval Armenia were the Byzantine Empire and the Seljuks, who overran the country in the 11th century.
In 1990 the Supreme Soviet of Armenia declared the country a sovereign republic and elected Levon A. Ter-Petrossian, leader of the Pan-Armenian National Movement, as its president.
