Why are Armenians moving to Upper Cumberland, Tennessee?

The landscape here is reminiscent of Dilijan, while the climate mirrors that of the Ararat Valley in the Armenian Highlands. The area boasts lush green mountains and enjoys a predictable four-season cycle, with mild winters, warm springs, long summers, and breathtakingly vibrant autumns.

These are the counties where Armenian Americans are choosing to form a new rural community.
