 Armenia and Georgia, Culmen Europae
The differences are that (1) Armenia was not a Greek colony but the realm of an indigenous people of Anatolia, like the Phrygians and Cappadocians, and (2) Armenia outlived all the Greek colonies, all the other ancient kingdoms of Anatolia, and even Rome itself.
Armenia has thus traditionally been regarded as the first officially Christian country, though, with uncertainties in dating, Ethiopia may be able to challenge this.
The Kingdom of Armenia in the Taurus Mountains of Cilicia is called "Lesser" Armenia in contrast to the "Greater Armenia" of the Armenian homeland to the northeast.

The Sassanids were forcing Armenians to convert to Zoroastrianism, causing the Armenian revolt of 451 under the leadership Vardan Mamikonian, commander-in-chief of the Armenian army.
At the end of the 10th century the Byzantine Empire, although ruled by an imperial dynasty of Armenian origin, adopted a near-sighted policy of weakening Armenia and eventually annexed it in 1045, thus depriving itself of an effective shield against disastrous invasion of Turkic nomads and later by Mongols from Central Asia.
In 1080 their leader, Prince Ruben, founded a Principality in Cilicia (and later in 1198 Kingdom), which became known as Cilician Armenia, or Armenia Minor (Little Armenia).

The first census trace conducted in May of 1914 by Russian authorities led to a Yerevan note on the confirmation of political asylum for one Ruben Ishmalovich Vishapian, born September 14, 1892, whose mother was of Turkish origin.
Whether or not these three records all concerned the same Ruben Vishapian cannot be determined with certainty, since the date of birth varies, and the application to leave the country did not state the name of the father or city of birth (in the case of Vishapian, the latter is unknown).
The work of Ruben Vishapian was the subject of the letter of an insane math professor, if I had understood that correctly, or was able to notice that parable at all.
