Seminar “Armenian Highland”<\/p><\/div>\n

The goal of the seminar<\/h3>\n

The main goals of the seminar were to inform people about the location and boundaries of the Armenian Highland<\/a><\/span>, to draw attention to a concept \u201cArmenian Highland\u201d as an internationally accepted term, to present the highest point of the Armenian highland, to clarify the difference between the use of the concepts \u00a0Republic of Armenia and Armenian Highland and to speak about the project \u201cOurs\u201d, which is unique in Armenia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Geographical position and boundaries of Armenian Highland<\/h3>\n

At the beginning of the seminar we held a presentation about geological processes during which the Armenian Highland was formed. The position of the highland was considered at macro, meso and micro levels, then the relief and its main units were introduced: fold-fractured mountains, surrounding the highland, and smaller ones. Also the difference between Armenian highland and Armenian plateau was emphasized.<\/span><\/p>\n

Afterwards, the highest mountains,\u00a0active and extinct volcanoes, large lakes and their origins, endemic animals, were presented.<\/p>\n
