Armenia
Republic of Armenia, Hayastan - Asia
Landlocked, mountainous Caucasus state. Nagorno-Karabakh, a 4,400 sq km enclave in Azerbaijan populated by Armenians, is controlled by Armenia along with a corridor of land connecting it to the rest of Armenia.
Area: 29, 800 sq km
Population: 3, 090, 379
Annual Growth: 0.17%
Capital: Yerevan
Urbanites: 63.7%
Peoples: 26 (35% unreached) Unreached Peoples Prayer Card
Official language: Armenian
Languages: 12
Largest Religion: Christian (94.43%) This number includes Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses, etc. Only 8.7% are Evangelical Christian.
Answer to Prayer:The increasingly committed faith among the Armenian diaspora is resulting in church growth not only among those abroad but also in Armenia itself, as diaspora Christians focus ministry and prayer on the land of their fathers.
Challenge for Prayer: The control of Nagorno-Karabakh, now functionally independent, is unresolved and a millstone around the necks of all involved. Refugees on both sides of the conflict (250,000 Armenians from Azerbaijan, and 530,000 Azeris from Armenia and western Azerbaijan) are still displaced. Although the armed cease-fire has held, all diplomatic solutions have failed. Both nations refuse to back down, and Nagorno-Karabakh itself refuses to accept any resolution into which it does not have direct input. Pray for an answer that is acceptable to all and that allows each group to move forward.
