Iran borders Armenia too, but is drawn on the Asia board rather than this one — the border is real, it just spans two maps.
Why this one is hard
4 neighbours, and 5 pairs of them border each other too.
Its 4 land borders are joint 7th-most in Europe — level with Albania, Belgium, Czechia, Georgia, Greece, Lithuania, Latvia and Slovenia. Of the 6 possible pairings among them, 5 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. Turkey is the most connected of them, with 8 land borders of its own. 3 of them deal on the Europe board alongside Armenia — Iran is dealt on the Asia board instead. The world board is the one where all 4 meet.

The capital
Yerevan
Capital Rush deals Armenia and offers four capitals; this is the one that pays. It comes up on the Europe board and on the world board, which is twice as many chances to get it wrong.
The flag
Flag Blitz flies it and offers four countries — Armenia is the one that owns it.
