ARMENIANS (September 8, 1987) Many of the works translated have since been lost in their Greek or Syriac original, but have been preserved in the Armenian. Tertullian (AD 155-222), in his Answer to the Jews (Chapter VII), includes the Armenians among the very first Christians from the day of Pentecost. Original works were also composed during the Golden Age, including works on history, philosophy, hagiography, homilies, hymns, and apologetics. www.umd.umich.edu /dept/armenian/papazian/armenia.html   (5610 words)

(CENSUS) Tall Armenian Tale: The Other Side of the Falsified Genocide When it is taken into account the figure for the Armenians who have not been subject to deportation, immigrated prior to and during the war, and reached their destination at the end of the deportation process, the same conclusion is drawn about the loss. Putting aside all the figures of Armenian origin which are evidently exaggerated, the figures of western origin vary between 1,056,000 and 1,555,000, and the mean value, being 1,300,000, is almost the same as that in the Ottoman statistics based on the actual census.

Origin of the Armenian People As with many ancient peoples, the origin of the Armenians contains elements of myth and unresolved scholarly arguments. The Armenian version of the origins of the Armenian people, which was written between the fifth and eight centuries A.D., describes the Armenian people as being descendants of Japeth, a son of Noah. The Armenians are one of the few peoples of antiquity who, together with their language and culture, have survived to the present day. home.tiscali.nl /~armen/ootap.html   (695 words)

Assembly of Turkish American Associations The efforts aimed at portraying the Armenians as the sole victims of the tragic events that took place in Anatolia under the conditions of the First World War carries the risk that these pains may be converted into a source of hatred and racial discrimination against Canadians of Turkish origin. But instead the Armenians want to point their fingers against Turks and incriminate us with the worst crime of the humanity while whitewashing the role of Armenian insurgency and betrayal originated from their inflated desire to get more territory from the collapsing Ottoman Empire before and during the First World War. It is said that the Canadians of Armenian origin would like to mourn their dead and ask for recognition of their historical grievances so that they can heal it. www.ataa.org /action_alerts/actfeb11.htm   (732 words)

Classical Armenian Online Yet another theory is that the Armenians are the most sedentary members of the original speakers of Proto-Indo-European; that the Indo-European languages originated in the transcaucasian region, but the Armenians, who chose not to migrate out of the area, were marginalized during periods of Hittite and Urartuan dominance. A common view is that the Armenians were of Indo-European stock and entered the region either along with the Phrygians from the Balkan region or with the Mitanni from the area of the Aral Sea.

The Armenian Impact on Byzantium - A Passage From History - Armenia Diaspora Conference Official Site In addition, there were a number of isolated emperors of Armenian origin: Bardanes (Vardan, 711-713), Artabazdes (Artavazd, 742-743), Leo V "the Armenian" (813-820), and John Tzimiskes (969-976), who, though an emperor, was one of the greatest Byzantine military commanders as well. Not all the immigration was voluntary, as we have seen, and the Byzantine government often forcibly transferred Armenians from Armenia to various parts of the empire. Throughout the period of the Roman Empire, the Armenians living in Roman Armenia were eligible to serve in the Roman army, and doubtless many did so. www.armeniadiaspora.com /js/031111history.html   (1456 words)

Classical Armenian Online Another theory draws on linguistic similarities between the Armenian language and the Caucasian languages of the area to say that the Armenians had originally been themselves a Caucasian tribe which adopted an Indo-European tongue, and this Caucasian substrate is responsible for the fact that Armenian is rather genetically isolated among the Indo-European languages.

The History Cooperative Conference Proceedings Interactions: Regional Studies, Global Processes, and Historical Analysis Trading Diaspora, State Building and the Idea of National Interest The debate as to when the Armenians start being entirely in diaspora without a homeland has no place here, but the artificial date traditionally used by Armenian historiography has been the fall of the Crusading Kingdom of Cilicia in 1375. I have argued that the Julfan Armenians in Iran made both economic and political contributions to the governments of their host society and were part of its administration, as members of the Royal Household. These were outsiders who didnt remain outside the administration, they were in allegiance with the administrators of the court who were also of Caucasian origin. www.historycooperative.org /proceedings/interactions/mccabe.html   (1459 words)

"Forgotten Empires" Remembered - Text It is interesting to note that the Armenians, who are seen as successors to the Urartians after the Median conquest of Urartu, are considered to have been related to the Phrygians; that in fact, Herodotus refers to the Armenians as a Phrygian colony. First, the Hittites are to be seen as a multi-ethnic polity, with an aristocracy (possibly of foreign origin) ruling over native peoples: The Urartian language (Hurrian) was one of the eight languages in use in the Hittite capitol, Boghazkoy. www.starways.net /lisa/essays/hittites.html   (1716 words)

Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, page 362 (v. 1) But as to the origin of the earlier kings, who according to the Romans were not Arsacidae, we must prefer the statements of the Armenians, who, as all Orientals, paid great attention to the genealogy of their great From this we may conclude, that the Armenians considered those instruments of the Romans as in­truders and political adventurers, and that the Arsacidae were the only legitimate dynasty. On the other hand the Romans, with all the pride and haughtiness of conquerors, consider their instruments or allies alone as the legitimate kings, and they generally speak of the Arsacidae as a family imposed upon Armenia by the Parthians. www.ancientlibrary.com /smith-bio/0371.html   (4328 words)

All Empires History Forum: Armenian Origins ? The Armenians inhabited the region north of Lake Van sometime after the Urarteans were driven back into their original abodes south of Lake Van probably by the Cimmerians, c. The tradition recorded by Herodotus that the Armenians were "Phrygian colonists" may not be far from the truth, considering that what is known of the Phrygian language also points to an affinity with Greek. It was only later that one of the Nairi tribes to the south of Lake Van named the Biainili gained political possession of the whole of Urartu and hence the name of the region became the name of both kingdom and people. www.allempires.com /forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3901&PN=1   (3116 words)

english1 Armenians, however, call themselves `Hai' and their country `Haiastan' and there are no extant sources which clearly state the origin of the name Armenia. Some early Armenian historians, among whom we may name Moses of Khorene, claimed that the Armenians were Urartus and that the name `Armenia' derived from that of an Urartu king named `Aramu'. The founder of the unified Urartian kingdom was evidently King Arame or Aramu, mentioned in Assyrian inscriptions of King Salmanesar iii under the years 860, 858 and 846 BC, and no doubt to be identified with the half-legendary Armenian king, Ara the Fair, loved by Queen Semiramis. www.angelfire.com /ma2/ermeni/english1   (3116 words)
