tea",what do they ususally have in mind?

In Europe tea flavoured with Bergamote is called "Russian tea"

Another tip
This language does not belong to any language family.
There's a theory that it is the most ancient language of Europe. Today it is spoken by some 700 thousand people

Is it Armenian?

[meteliza]

dollybaby
No, not Armenian

One more tip
It is spoken in a country that is not independent and it is fighting for the independence sometimes with terrorist methods.
The terrorists are prosecuted by the authorities of two countries where it is situated geographically. The attacks were rather violent in the 90s and it has been calmed down lately
