WRONG — the name Armenia is no older than late Assyrian times or classical Persian times when under Persian rule. The older name from Assyrian times was Urartu, later a.k.a. the Hurrians. I know of at least one ethnic grocery store (tiny little thing) named Urartu (https://www.facebook.com/urartuinternational/ ).

If you check the map, you’ll see the sites are found all over what is now modern Turkey. For people who just flat-out hate the Turks, the term Anatolia might be preferred, although I’m stuck with the text of the article. And Armenia rule didn’t include all of Anatolia.

The Turks took over half of the land of Armenia when they did their Armenian genocide in 1915.

I am sick of seeing what are ancient sites from ancient Armenia called “Turkey” by the modern clueless media.
