Armavir is a region in Armenia that takes its name from one of Armenia's former capitals. The region is known for its rich history and culture, beautiful scenery and delicious specialties.

Here is some information I found for you:

Characteristics:

Armavir is one of the oldest cities in the Middle East and home to some of the oldest known bronze smiths in the world. The region is also known for its orchards of grape, apricot, peach, plum and plant growing areas.

History:
Armavir is Armenia's cradle of civilization and home to some of the oldest cities in the Middle East. The region was once part of the Urartu Kingdom and later part of the Persian Empire. It was also an important site during the Armenian resistance against Ottoman rule.

Ancient pagan center of Bagaran
5000 year old Metsamor metal foundry

Art:
Armenian art is the art of Armenians in the area they inhabit. If you place a circle over Lake Van, Lake Sevan and Lake Urmia, you get the core area of the Armenians. For a short time, Greater Armenia stretched from the Mediterranean to the Caspian Sea. The harsh landscape of the Ararat Highlands is less synonymous with rich harvests than with metal extraction and processing.

Powerful empires in Anatolia, Mesopotamia and Persia therefore competed for this territory. And yet, in the short period of their prosperity, the Armenians managed to make a lasting impact, especially in the areas of architecture and illumination.
