\nArmenia is a landlocked country located in the South Caucasus region of Eurasia. It is bordered by Turkey to the west, Georgia to the north, Azerbaijan to the east, and Iran and Nakhchivan exclave of Azerbaijan to the south. It has no direct access to any sea or ocean.
\n<\/section>\n
\nA landlocked country is a country entirely enclosed by land, or whose only coastline lies on closed seas.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– Syria has a coastline on the Mediterranean Sea.
\n– Jordan has a short coastline on the Gulf of Aqaba, which is an arm of the Red Sea and connected to the Indian Ocean.
\n– Azerbaijan borders the Caspian Sea. While the Caspian Sea is the world’s largest inland body of water and often referred to as a sea, it is technically an endorheic basin (lake) and does not have a natural direct outlet to the global ocean system. However, compared to Armenia which has absolutely no sea access, Azerbaijan’s situation is different. The question asks which *does NOT* have direct access, and Armenia clearly fits this description better than Azerbaijan.
