Cover - Armenia, Country #108

Here's another first. This one is from Armenia, thanks to a friend who also sent me a cover from Nagorno Karabakh earlier.

Formerly part of Transcaucasian Russia, Armenia became temporarily independent after the Russian revolution of 1917. From 12 March 1922, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia formed the Transcaucasian Federation. With the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, Armenia once again became independent.


Now that I've got Armenia, Nagorno Karabakh, Georgia and Russia, high time I get one from Azerbaijan.
