March 1, 2000, Yarvan, Armenia… This is a country that has been Catholic since the fourth century AD though not in communion with the Pope, there has been movement to bring the Armenian church back into the realm of the Holy See. Turkey lies to the South West, the Black Sea to the West, Russia to the North and the Caspian Sea to the East. Armenia has been on the main road to conquest by every major empire since Alexander the Great who attempted to conquer the ancient world in 336 AD. Now it is under peaceful invasion by the Peace Corps which is attempting to lend a hand to Armenians in developing their own country.
