Armenia is one of the most ancient countries of the world, which has
rich culture and history. It is historical motherland of Armenians.
Armenia lies in the northeastern part of the Armenian plateau
between Caucasus and Asia Minor. The history of Armenian ancestors
goes back to the history of primitive man (about 1,5 - 1 million years
ago). The sports programs organized during the pagan celebrations
had much in common with programs of ancient Greek Olympic
Games. Thanks to it Armenian athletes had an opportunity to
participate in Olympic Games. It is known that Armenian king Trdat III
Arshakuni became the winner of 265th Olympic Games in 281.
