History of Yerevan information

The history of modern Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, traces its roots back to Erebuni Fortress^[1]^[2]^[3] an ancient Urartian fortified monument from which also the modern city of Yerevan derives its name.^[4]^[5]^[6] The earliest reference to Yerevan in the medieval records dates from 607 A.D.^[1]^[7] Located one in the bottommost parts of the Armenian Highlands, the city lies on the banks of the rivers Getar and Hrazdan,^[1] the easternmost end of the Ararat Plain (historically, the ancient Armenian province of Ayrarat^[8]^[9]^[10]). Several ancient and medieval Armenian capitals are situated in the vicinity of Yerevan.^[11] From the early 15th century onwards, the city was the administrative center of the Safavid Empire; in the mid-18th century it was proclaimed the capital of the Erivan Khanate, in 1918 - the capital of the First Republic of Armenia and in - 1920 - the capital of Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic. Since 1991, Yerevan has been the capital of the Third Republic of Armenia.
