Republic in NW Asia (7)

I believe the answer is:

armenia

(Other definitions for armenia that I've seen before include "Mountainous republic bordering Turkey" , "Former Soviet republic of south-east Europe, capital Yerevan" , "Republic, formerly part of the Soviet Union" , "Caucasian republic" , "Former Russian republic, its capital Yerevan" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
