The Armenian; A forgotten people
In the world one lives in today, it occurs quite often to converse with people of all ages who do not know of Armenia and her proud people. Rarely does one know of the country, none the less of her mysterious and complex past. Armenia is one of the most difficult civilizations to describe and trace, because of the lack of archaeological proof and hence the many different opinions of historians, archaeologists and so forth. Even with a blurry past, the Armenian people have survived over the last three thousand years (approximately 1500 BC to present day). The Armenian people have survived through so much over these last centuries that one may wonder how they have made it alive today. Armenians have been under the power of so many empires (Urartians, Persians, Arabs, Romans, Parthians and so forth), and have survived through a genocide as a result of living in a place surrounded by neighboring countries opposing to such things as their values, religion and ways of life. The Armenian people have persisted throughout these times because of their keen sense of survival, the love for their religion and their pride and unity as Armenians. Armenians have a very blurry and uncertain past. As mentioned above, with the lack of historical, . . .
However it was the Ottoman Turks who governed most of Armenia and its population. In 550 BC, Persians became the rulers of Armenians with Achaemenian rule. Most people, even today never learn about this genocide. During the nineteenth century, Armenians suffered discrimination, heavy taxation and armed attacks from the Turks. Vahan Mamikonian, a nephew of Vardan continued the struggle. Assyrian inscriptions reveal she had been a major supplier of horses for Assyria from the time of Tiglath-Pileser I (1114-1076 BC) to the late ninth century. Strabo recorded that Armenia was named after Armenus, a Thessalian and companion of Jason, whose followers had settled there. This proves the devotion and strength Armenia had toward their religion. Strobo also remarked that the clothing which Armenians wore and style of their horsemanship was said to be Thessalian3. There was a final peace treaty in 66 BC. This was because of Tiridates III (287-330 AD). Herodotus did not specify when Armenian settlers left their Phrygian kin, for he knew Phrygian history stretched many centuries. The destruction of the Bagratids dynasty was fulfilled by the Seljuk Turks. The story will begin and one more person will know about Armenians and who they are. As a token of the alliance, the first representative of Arsacids in Armenia, Tiridates I, accepted to be crowned by Nero in Rome in 66 AD.
