Tell me about the Armenians /his/

Basically the last remnant left of Alexanders dream of a united Persian-Greek empire.

Why do they wear the green?

Could you elaborate?

T*rks should've wiped them out.
They had one fucking job

Short version: it was basically a satrapy to the Achaemenid Persians and got its name from them (Armina) and later became the Kingdom of Armenia under the Seleucids.
The culture and religion of the nation is heavinly influenced by the old Persian and Hellenistic, which wasnt uncommon at the time regarding the surrounding neighbours in the area.
But as the Seleucids fell and the other similar kingdoms like Pontus and Atropatene fell one by one in later stages and lost their old identities, the Armenians stayed strong and still kept their lingual ties to the greeks.

>lingual ties to the greeks
Except the Armenian language is not very closely related to the Greek language.

>>308580
Not "very closely" per say, but still closer than the rest that either adapted arabic, turkic or any form of slav languages.

Its also impressive that they managed to keep their original name throughout all this time unlike Azerbaijan or Georgia.

Those are Norks

If there's anything that puts armenians close to greek (except shared ancient history) it's religion, rather than language. Yes I know they have a different church, before someone jumps to claim this somehow contradicts my point.

>Its also impressive that they managed to keep their original name throughout all this time unlike Azerbaijan or Georgia.

Azerbaijan is directly descended from Atropatene (the native name being closer to the modern than the greek one we use). And georgians call themselves kartvelians, literally people from Kartli (called by greeks and romans Iberia). Considering the armenians call their own country hayk or hayastan, not armenia, you can't say the others didn't kept their name.

I'd say we have much more Iranian elements in our culture than Hellenistic (and the really old ones are Parthian rather than old Persian).

t. Armenian

nice pajamas ya goons

Those shiftless kebabs had one fucking job and they fucked it up.

It appears as if they're very similar to Mesopotamians in that, the Urartu Kingdom was made up mostly of people who came from there.

Surprisingly easy to commit genocide on. Mediocre at creating metal bands. Decent human traffickers.

?

They had a pretty interesting culture and were a powerful state in Western Anatolia for some time. today most of their historic homeland has been lost to them- mostly in Turkey. The modern Armenian state is a tiny remnant.

That's Albanians.

Honestly as a Turk I feel kind of bad for them. We like to complain about Armenians being butthurt but if any other nation went through the ordeal and loss of land that the armenians dealt with they would have been absolutely furious as well.

>>310284
DELET THIS

>>308957
Well we both like "ians" in our names.

True dat, though I think that's a coincidence rather than an Iranian influence.

I like them, also fuck Turks

They won said war with a population of 3 million to the Azeri's 10 million, the Azeris having more modern equipment and a better economy.

unf

confirms Azeri genocide

Soon is not the right time. Azeris are pulling their big people out of Turkey in response to the jet thing, and said big names are supposed to stay in Turkey permanently in accordance to a treaty between Turkey and Azerbaijan.

Big things are happening in our time.

The fire rises.

This is literally the only reason I hate Turks. They didn't finish the job they started.
