Explanation

The Caspian Sea is bordered by five countries, often remembered by the acronym TARIK: Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Russia, Iran, and Kazakhstan. While Armenia is located in the Caucasus region near Azerbaijan and Turkey, it is a landlocked country and does not have a coastline along the Caspian Sea. Therefore, Armenia is the correct answer.
