Country song about male lovers (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

armenia

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'country' is the definition.
(I know that Armenia is an country)

'song about male lovers' is the wordplay.
'song' becomes 'aria' (aria is a kind of song).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'male lovers' becomes 'men' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'aria' going around 'men' is 'ARMENIA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for armenia that I've seen before include "South-west Asian country, capital Yerevan" , "Republic, formerly part of the Soviet Union" , "Caucasian republic" , "Transcaucasian nation" , "Country in the Caucasus, capital Yerevan" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times.
