    YEREVAN, Armenia A replica of a 13th-century trading ship has gone
    on display in the main square of the landlocked country's capital as
    a reminder of the era when Armenia stretched from the Mediterranean

    Next spring, the "Kilikia" is to be taken to Lake Sevan, where it
    will be anchored
