:''For the nearby village called Masis, see Masis (village).'' Masis ((アルメニア語:Մասիս)), is a town in the Ararat Province of Armenia, located on the left bank of the Hrazdan River, 9 km southwest of Yerevan towards the Mount Ararat. The town has a large railroad commodity station that serves Yerevan, and used to connect the capital city with the Nakhichevan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic until the closing of the border with Azerbaijan. Masis is one of the closest settlements to Mount Ararat and Little Ararat. The mountains are visible from most of the areas in the town. As of the 2011 census, the population of the town is 20,215. ==Etymology== Masis ((アルメニア語:Մասիս)) is the Armenian name for the peak of Mount Ararat.〔Thomson, p. 90-98.〕 The ''History of Armenia'' derives the name from a king Amasya, the great-grandson of the Armenian patriarch Hayk, who is said to have called the mountain ''Masis'' after his own name.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Masis, Armenia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
