According to ancient tradition, Noah’s Ark rested on Mount Ararat in the Armenian Mountain Range. Armenia’s coat of arms has Mount Ararat with Noah’s Ark on top.
Armenian historian Movses Khorenatsi (410-490 AD) recounted the tradition that Noah’s son Japheth had a descendant named Hayk who shot an arrow in a battle near Lake Van c. 2,500 B.C. killing Nimrod, builder of the Tower of Babel – the first tyrant of the ancient world.
Hayk is the origin of “Hayastan,” the Armenian name for Armenia. Ancient Armenians may have had some relations with the Hittites and Hurrians, who inhabited that area known as Anatolia in the second millenium B.C.
Armenia’s major city of Yerevan, founded in 782 B.C. in the shadow of Mount Ararat, is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. Armenia was mentioned in the Book of Isaiah (37:38), when King Sennacherib of Assyria invaded Judah around 701 B.C. King Hezekiah and the Prophet Isaiah prayed and Judah was spared. Sennacherib returned to Assyria: “And it came to pass, as Sennacherib was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Armenia.”

In a very dangerous location. Needs to be strong and alert at all times.
Well, at least she didn’t have to dodge bullets from sniper fire like hildabeast. This was in the 1992/93 time frame. I’d have to look at her passport to be exact.
From the beginning...the diversity was embraced

In 1064, Muslim Sultan Alp Arslan and his Seljuk Turkish army invaded and destroyed the city of Ani. Arab historian Sibt ibn al-Jawzi recorded: “The army entered the city, massacred its inhabitants, pillaged and burned it, leaving it in ruins. … Dead bodies were so many that they blocked the streets; one could not go anywhere without stepping over them. And the number of prisoners was not less than 50,000 souls.
Diversity as in they killed just about anyone and everyone no matter sex or age. Sounds like a demolib train of thought. Agree with us or die. Or, just die.
Thanks for a very interesting read. I’m Armenian and very likely learned where my name(Gregory) came from in the article. Never a bad thing to have pointed out just how evil Islam is and what Muslims are capable of and actually mandated to do.

Yeah, ever since her trip, Mrs rktman has a special place in her heart for the Armenian people. Glad it was a help to you.
When Xenephon retreated from Persia, the Armenian tribesmen gave his army a brutal shellacking.
I was in Yerevan last March, and it is a beautiful place filled with very warm people. I planned on three days to process a visa renewal at another country’s embassy, but got “stuck” for almost two weeks because the process ended up being longer. Not a bad case of being stranded, for sure.
LOL! NOT one of their best. And, that you knew of the existence of it is troubling. LOL!
And yet they missed Kardashians and Cher...
Now that there is funny.
Cher whogivesacrapian?
When you grow up in the ‘age of disco, you listen to disco, or you make a tactical retreat to the music of the 60s. Easy choice.
