 亞美尼亞

 Armenia
      n : a landlocked republic in southwestern Asia; formerly an
          Asian soviet; modern Armenia is but a fragment of ancient
          Armenia which was one of the world's oldest
          civilizations; throughout 2500 years the Armenian people
          have been invaded and oppressed by their neighbors [syn:
          Republic of Armenia, Hayastan]

 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.)
