Yerevan is the capital of this country (7)
I believe the answer is:
armenia
(Other definitions for armenia that I've seen before include "Landlocked country, an Asian soviet before 1991, capital Yerevan" , "Landlocked country south of Georgia" , "Former Russian republic, its capital Yerevan" , "South-west Asian country, capital Yerevan" , "Transcaucasian nation" .)
