Арца́х (арм. Արցախ) (Малый Сюник,Глубинная Армения Орхистена античных авторов) — историческая область в Закавказье, 9-я провинция Великой Армении, с 387 года н. э. при разделе Армении между Ираном и Римской империей была присоединена к вассальной от Ирана Кавказской Албании. Охватывала территорию современного Нагорного Карабаха и прилегающие к нему местности.Լեռնային Ղարաբաղի Հանրապետություն, Արցախի Հանրապետություն) — не имеющее выхода к морю непризнанное государство в Закавказье, провозглашённое 2 сентября 1991 года .Население по предварительным данным переписи 2015 года — 150 932 человека. Абсолютное большинство верующих — христиане.
Столица и крупнейший город — Степанакерт Нагорно-Карабахская Республика расположена в юго-восточной части Малого Кавказа. Рельеф республики типично горный, охватывает восточный отрезок Карабахского плато и с запада наклонно спускается к востоку, сливаясь с Арцахской долиной, составляющей большую часть Куро-Аракской низменности. Относительно низменными являются восточные части Мартакертского и Мартунинского районов
На территории Нагорно-Карабахской Республики распространено 2 климатических пояса, климат здесь мягкий умеренный, на значительной территории — сухой субтропический.

Средняя температура самых холодных месяцев (январь-февраль) — около 0° С. Наиболее теплыми местностями на территории Нагорно-Карабахской Республики являются низменные зоны Мартунинского и Мартакертского районов.
В зимние месяцы относительно холодный пояс охватывает высокогорный, в особенности северный отрезок — Мравский хребет. Наименьшая температура в низменной зоне опускается до −16° С, в предгорье — до −19° С, высокогорье — от −20° С до −23° С. Наиболее высокая температура в низменных и предгорных местностях доходит до +40° С, среднегорных и горных местностях — от +32° С до +37° С.
На территории республики преобладают горно-долинные ветры. В весенние и летние месяцы часто бывают проливные дожди и сильные грозы. Среднегодовое количество атмосферных осадков по поясам колеблется от 480 до 700 мм, часто встречается туман. Наименьшие осадки выпадают в равнинной зоне — в низменных частях Мартакертского и Мартунинского районов — и составляют 410—480 мм в год. Наибольшее количество осадков выпадает в высокогорной зоне — 560—830 мм в год

VISIT ARTSAKH | АРЦАХ
The land of Artsakh, the central and largest part of which is better known throughout the 20th century as Nagorno-Karabakh or Mountainous Karabakh, is one of three ancient provinces of Armenia, located in the eastern end of the Armenian Plateau.
Beyond the mystical beauty of the place, Karabakh is one of the cradles of Armenian statehood and contains a large number of the key landmarks of Armenian history. The region is an open sky treasure house of Christian art and architecture, hosting hundreds of medieval churches, monasteries and khachkars (cross-stones).
The magnificent scenery, soft climate, the pure curative air, the rich and varied forests, the healing mineral waters, the tumbling waterfalls, historic sights and the warm hospitality of local Karabakhi's provide visitors with unforgettable memories!

Our travels are about uncovering the REAL & UNSCRIPTED LIFE in each destination, with all its sunny & shady sides! We try to find out what really makes each country unique beyond postcard-perfect images.

We Came Back To Lake Sevan For This! ????????
When we saw this lakeside beach the first time we said we had to come back and so here we are back at Lake Sevan in beautiful Northern Armenia ????????
We found a super nice place to stay I've linked it below because the owner was an absolute legend genuinely such a kind bloke who really looked after us whilst we were in town.
We spent nearly a week around Lake Sevan, the actual city of Sevan is super underrated but this video is of Sevans number 1 public beach as the map says...
It's super beautiful and on this Friday we had it pretty much to ourselves, we got a huge Armenian picnic and spent the day relaxing on the beautiful Lake Shore Beach with views of the desert mountains in the distance.
I can safely say it was well worth coming back for Armenia is one of the most beautiful countries on this earth it's an incredible place ????????????????????????

Gandzasar Monastery Nagorno Karabakh, Armenian cathedral (Գանձասար - Гандзасар)
Gandzasar Monastery (Armenian: Գանձասար, Russian: Гандзасар) is a 13th-century Armenian Apostolic cathedral (historically a monastery) near the village of Vank in the disputed region of Nagorno Karabakh (Artsakh in Armenian). Gandzasar has historically been the region's most important church. Gandzasar is one of the best pieces of Armenian architecture of the mid-1200s, the building is best known among scholars for its richly decorated dome.
The name Gandzasar, which means treasure mountain in Armenian, is believed to have originated from the tradition that the Gandzasar monastery was built on a hill containing ores of silver and other metals.
Gandzasar site was first mentioned in written records by the tenth century Catholicos Anania of Moks (r. 946-968), who listed Sargis, a monk from Gandzasar, among the participants of a 949 council convened in Khachen to reconcile Chalcedonian and non-Chalcedonian Armenians. Khachkars dated 1174, 1182, 1202 have been found around Gandzasar monastery which also point to the existence of a church or monastery at the site.
Gandzasar main church was built between 1216 and 1238 by Hasan-Jalal Dawla, the Armenian prince of Inner Khachen and the patriarch of the House of Hasan-Jalalyan. Gandzasar was consecrated on July 22, 1240, on the Feast of the Transfiguration (Vardavar) in attendance of some 700 priests. Gandzasar´s gavit (narthex), to the west of the church, was started in 1240 completed in 1266 by Atabek, the son of Hasan-Jalal and his wife, Mamkan. Kirakos Gandzaketsi, a contemporary historian, described the construction of Gandzasar´s church in his History of Armenia.
Gandzasar became the seat of the Catholicosate of (Caucasian) Albania, a see of the Armenian Apostolic Church, in the late 14th century. Rouben Paul Adalian considers the foundation of the see a result of an ancient bishopric seeking ecclesiastical autonomy to compensate for the lack of control and communication from a central pontificate and part of various local strategies in an Armenia dominated by foreign and Islamic rule to preserve some semblance of religious authority among the people. In the 16th century it became subordinate to the Etchmiadzin catholicosate.
Since its foundation Gandzasar monastery was a center of education and manuscript production. According to contemporary sources, in early 1700s the patriarch of Gandzasar had authority over some 900 villages with hundreds of households in each, composed of peasant and merchant Armenians.
In the 17th and 18th centuries Gandzasar became the center in the liberation efforts by Karabakh Armenian meliks, who were united around Catholicos Yesayi Hasan-Jalalyan (d. 1728). He was staunchly pro-Russian and in a 1701 letter signed by Karabakh and Syunik meliks, he asked Peter the Great to protect Armenians from Muslims. However, it was not until the early 1800s that the Russian Empire took control of Nagorno Karabakh. The Karabakh Khanate eventually came under complete Russian control through the Treaty of Gulistan. Through the 1836 regulation by the Russian authorities, known as Polozhenie, Gandzasar ceased to be the seat of the diocese of Karabakh, which was moved to Shusha. Gandzasar was gradually abandoned and became dilapidated by the late 19th century
Gandzasar was closed down by the Soviet authorities no later than 1930. The diocese of Artsakh was reestablished in 1989. Archbishop Pargev Martirosyan was named its primate. Due to his efforts, Gandzasar reopened on October 1, 1989 after six months of renovations. The Soviet government had given permission, while that of Soviet Azerbaijan had not. Gandzasar became the first church to be reopened after decades of suppression. According to Zori Balayan several KGB agents could [have been] spotted among the crowd attending. Gandzasar served as seat of the bishop before it was moved to Ghazanchetsots Cathedral in Shusha (Shushi city) in 1998.
Gandzasar was attacked several times during the Nagorno Karabakh War. On July 6, 1991 Soviet soldiers and OMON (special police) officers raided Gandzasar allegedly in search of guns. They checked papers and conducted a thorough search, including in Gandzasar´s graveyard.
Fierce fighting took place around Gandzasar in 1992, when Azerbaijan sieged the area. The Armenians broke the siege, which saved Gandzasar and enhanced its spiritual status, wrote Thomas de Waal. On August 16, 1992 some of the outlying buildings within Gandzasar monastery complex were destroyed as a result of Azerbaijani bombardment by helicopters, which intentionally targeted the church.
