Armenia is one of the oldest countries in the world. Thousands of years ago there was a country called "Urartu" on Armenian Plateau. During the excavation of Arinberd hill, the archeologists found a written stone, which said that Argishti, King of Urartu, set up a citadel and named it Erebuni in 783 BC.. Through the following centuries the name was changed to Erevan (Yerevan), which is the state capitol of the Republic of Armenia.

   During their history, Armenians have been ruled by as well as ruled over such cultures as the Arabs, Turks, Greeks, Mongols, Persians and Russians. These events have all had their influence on the way Armenian food developed. Because of these circumstances Armenian food is considered one of the wealthiest, most elaborate cuisines in the world.
