Question: Shirak Poghosyan originated from the city that is the capital of what country?
Context: Gyumri (Armenian: Գյումրի ] ) is the second largest city in Armenia and the capital of the Shirak Province in the northwestern part of the country.  By the end of the 19th century, when the city was known as Alexandropol, it was one of the largest cities of Russian-ruled Eastern Armenia with a population similar to that of Yerevan.  It was renamed to Leninakan during the Soviet period.  The city's population grew above 200,000 prior to the 1988 Spitak earthquake, when it was devastated.  As of the 2011 census, the city had a population of 121,976, down from 150,917 reported at the 2001 census. Shirak (Armenian: Շիրակ , ] ), is a province ("marz") of Armenia.  It is located in the north-west of the country, bordering Turkey in the west and Georgia in the north.  Its capital and largest city is Gyumri.  It is as much semi-desert as it is mountain meadow or high alpine.  In the south, the high steppes crash into mountain terrain, verdant green in the spring, hues of reddish brown in the summer.  The province is served by the Shirak International Airport of Gyumri. Yerevan ( , ; Armenian: Երևան ] , sometimes spelled Erevan) is the capital and largest city of Armenia as well as one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities.  Situated along the Hrazdan River, Yerevan is the administrative, cultural, and industrial center of the country.  It has been the capital since 1918, the thirteenth in the history of Armenia, and the seventh located in or around the Ararat plain. Country Club Bakery, located in Fairmont, West Virginia, USA, is a small family owned bakery that is significant because it is the home of the pepperoni roll.  The bakery is located on Country Club Road, but the original bakery (where the pepperoni roll was invented) was located on Robinson Street.  The pepperoni roll is a snack popular in West Virginia and some nearby regions of the Appalachian Mountains.  Ubiquitous in West Virginia (particularly in convenience stores), but typically little known elsewhere, it is arguably the food most closely associated with the state (a competitor for this distinction is the ramp).  The first pepperoni rolls were created at the Country Club Bakery in Fairmont, West Virginia by Giuseppe "Joseph" Argiro at the Country Club Bakery in Fairmont in 1927, some argue that it was not invented until the 1940s, but no one disputes that they originated at the Country Club Bakery.  Fairmont, West Virginia, claims the title of "Pepperoni Roll Capital of the World." Carson City, officially the Consolidated Municipality of Carson City, is an independent city and the capital of the US state of Nevada, named after the mountain man Kit Carson.  As of the 2010 census, the population was 55,274.  The majority of the population of the town lives in Eagle Valley, on the eastern edge of the Carson Range, a branch of the Sierra Nevada, about 30 mi south of Reno.  The town originated as a stopover for California bound emigrants, but developed into a city with the Comstock Lode, a silver strike in the mountains to the northeast.  The city has served as the capital of Nevada since statehood in 1864 and for much of its history was a hub for the Virginia and Truckee Railroad, although the tracks were removed in the 1950s.  Prior to 1969, Carson City was the county seat of Ormsby County.  In 1969, the county was abolished, and its territory merged with Carson City to form the Consolidated Municipality of Carson City.  With the consolidation, the city limits today extend west across the Sierra Nevada to the California state line in the middle of Lake Tahoe.  Like other independent cities in the United States, it is treated as a county-equivalent for census purposes.

The Vatican City is an independent country inside the city boundaries of Rome, the only existing example of a country within a city: for this reason Rome has been often defined as capital of two states. Handcrafts and folk art in Mexico City is a microcosm of handcraft production in most of the rest of country.  One reason for this is that the city has attracted migration from other parts of Mexico, bringing these crafts.  The most important handcraft in the city is the working of a hard paper mache called cartonería, used to make piñatas and other items related to various annual celebrations.  It is also used to make fantastic creatures called alebrijes, which originated here in the 20th century.  While there are handcrafts made in the city, the capital is better known for selling and promoting crafts from other parts of the country, both fine, very traditional wares and inexpensive curio types, in outlets from fine shops to street markets.
