Hypertext Webster Gateway: "Armenia"
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary (easton)
Armenia
high land, occurs only in Authorized Version, 2 Kings 19:37; in
Revised Version, "Ararat," which is the Hebrew word. A country
in western Asia lying between the Caspian and the Black Sea.
Here the ark of Noah rested after the Deluge (Gen. 8:4). It is
for the most part high table-land, and is watered by the Aras,
the Kur, the Euphrates, and the Tigris. Ararat was properly the
name of a part of ancient Armenia. Three provinces of Armenia
are mentioned in Jer. 51:27, Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz. Some,
however, think Minni a contraction for Armenia. (See {ARARAT}.)
From WordNet (r) 1.7 (wn)
Armenia
n : a republic in southwestern Asia; formerly an Asian Soviet;
throughout 2500 years the Armenian people have been
invaded and oppressed by their neighbors [syn: {Armenia},
{Republic of Armenia}, {Hayastan}]
