Land of Christians, Drams and Kardashians

Armenia’s capital city of Yerevan boasts a population of around 1.2 million, compared to Perth’s 43,450.

The countr y, the smallest of the former Soviet republics, is described as one of the world’s oldest civilisations and was the first to embrace Christianity as its main religion in 300AD.

Armenia’s currency is the Dram, which could cause confusion to Perth whisky connoisseurs.
