Every time I've been to Armenia there are many people visiting, although I think probably 80%+ are diaspora or descendants of diaspora folks

edit to add -- not sure Ossetia is technically a country... the Georgians might quibble with you on that one

The Georgians and the other 187 UN member states that don't recognize either South Ossetia or Abkhazia.

I think it's obvious that unrecognized states are hot contenders for "least visited".

For starters your travel insurance might not cover you there.

Went to a hotel lobby bar once and asked guys sitting to the left and to the right of me where are they from. Turns out both were Scots. Asked them what do they think about Scottish independence. One thing led to another and soon enough they started fist-fighting each other. Armenian cognac is great.

Obviously no true Scotsman would do such things.

I should remind you that the Scottish character can be summed up by the simple observation that Scotland is the only country whose national dress includes a knife in the sock.
