		The history of the Armenian people is reflected in the sources of the words borrowed by their language.
		For example, Armenian has absorbed words from Persian, owing to Parthian domination in the centuries immediately before and after Jesus, from Greek and Syriac as a result of Christian influence, from French during the Crusades, and from Turkish in the course of several centuries of Turkish rule.

		The Armenian homeland is located on the Armenian plateau, central and eastern Anatolia and southwestern Caucasia - the highlands which dominate the lowlands of Greater Syria and Mesopotamia to the south.

		Widespread massacres of Armenians by Sultan Abdul Hamid II in 1894-1896 were followed by the Cilician pogroms of 1909, and culminated in the Armenian Genocide from 1915-22 in which the Armenian plateau was essentially denuded of Armenians.

	The Armenian Evangelical Witness to the Armenian People - Rev. Dr. Vahan H. Tootikian
		Armenian Evangelicalism, through its pulpits and platforms, through its organizations and media, should challenge the Armenian churches to become the voice of conscience, so that the churches, in turn, can strengthen the will of their members to work for freedom, justice, human rights, and peace.
		Armenian Evangelicalism should impress upon all Armenian Churches and all Armenians that Christian ministry belongs to the whole Church, and that all Christians, both lay and ordained, are ministers, and, in their own way, they are to be as faithful and as committed to their life in Christ as possible.
		Although all Armenian Evangelicals, clergy and laity alike, are called to serve and witness in the life of their own congregations and in the community, the Armenian Evangelical Church needs spiritual leaders who have both the calling and leadership skills that will give direction to her constituency, the Armenian people, and the world.

	Armenian Rugs and Carpets
		The ornamental forms of the Armenian rugs and carpets are often repeated in the various ornamentation found in the miniatures of the Armenian manuscripts.
		Another characteristic feature of the Armenian national classical rugs, (Lori, Artsakh), is the depiction of a medallion in the center of the rug representing the sun as the source of life surrounded with heavenly birds, as its heralds.
		All those patterns ornamenting the Armenian rugs were closely connected with the legendary notions, superstitions, and the pagan faith and worship rites of the remote ancestors of the Armenian people, inscribed in the ancient manuscripts and popular folk songs.

	Archbishop Oshagan's 2005 Eastern Message
		Therefore, this year is not an ordinary date in the contemporary history of the Armenian people, and it must not be one for each and every Armenian and the Armenian people as a whole.
		The Armenian Genocide is an undeniable historical fact not only indelibly recorded in fl letters on the pages of our people’s history but in those of world history as well; it has clearly found its place too in the governmental-diplomatic archives of the very same country having committed genocide -- Turkey.
		For the Armenian people, the year 2005 must become, besides an occasion to once again remember and reevaluate the past, a marvelous opportunity to look toward the future and demand the justice due them for a genocide which the world has let remain unpunished.

		With the "Baptism" of the Armenian community, first received by the civil and military authorities, the people acquired a new identity that was to become a constitutive and inseparable part of Armenian life.
		For Armenian culture itself would receive an extraordinarily powerful impetus from the proclamation of the Gospel: its Armenian aspect would give a profoundly characteristic note to this proclamation, which would eventually be a driving force for an unprecedented development of the national culture.
		The invention of the Armenian alphabet, a decisive factor for the stability and definition of the people's cultural identity, would be closely associated with the Baptism of Armenia, and would be desired and conceived as a true and proper vehicle of evangelization, even more than as a way to communicate concepts and information.

	Armenian Genocide (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Many Armenians who have settled in America, Europe and Australia (along with other parts of the world, known as "The Armenian Diaspora") have clung to the tragic events of so long ago as a form of ethnic identity, and have considered it their duty to perpetuate this myth, with little regard for facts...
		Ironically, if anyone acted genocidally, with the intention of systematically wiping out people because of their ethnic or religious identity, it was the people who are traditionally accepted as the victims of this conflict.
		Another irony is that while Armenians have been doing their utmost to portray Turks as Nazis (in an effort to equate themselves with Holocaust victims, the one group best known to have fallen prey to genocide), Turks did their best to save Jews during World War II...

	Review of Hovannisian, The Armenian People from Ancient to Modern Times
		The Armenian homeland is located on the Armenian plateau, central and eastern Anatolia and southwestern Caucasia--the highlands which dominate the lowlands of Greater Syria and Mesopotamia to the south.
		After that, Armenian history was intertwined for a thousand years with the Persian empire--in its various manifestations--with which it shared a dynasty and much of its high culture.
		Widespread massacres of Armenians by Sultan Abdul Hamid 11 in 1894-1896 were followed by the Cilician pogroms of 1909, and culminated in the Armenian Genocide from 1915-22 in which the Armenian plateau was essentially denuded of Armenians.

	Democracy Now! \| The Armenian Genocide: 90 Years Later Turkey Continues to Deny the Extermination of a People
		This week marks the 90th anniversary of the Armenian genocide when more than a million Armenians were exterminated by the Young Turk government through direct killing, starvation, torture, and forced death marches.
		And the reason Armenians commemorate the genocide on April 24 is because on that evening in Constantinople, more than 250 Armenian intellectuals and community leaders were arrested and deported by train to the interior, where they were subsequently tortured and murdered.
		So this was very systematically done, and it's important to understand that this whole operation, which in the end resulted in the deaths of close to 1.5 million unarmed, innocent minority population citizens of Turkey, this became the template for all genocide to follow.
