1. Navn:<\/strong>\u00a0Armenia har f\u00e5tt navnet sitt fra de gamle persiske Bisutun-inskripsjonene (fra 515 f.Kr.), der ordet \"Armina\" forekommer. P\u00e5 armensk heter Armenia \"Hayk\".<\/p>\n

2. Befolkning:<\/strong>\u00a0Det finnes 8-10 millioner armenere i verden. Flertallet av armenerne i utlandet bor i Russland (anslagsvis 1,5 - 2,9 millioner) og USA (anslagsvis 0,5 - 1,5 millioner).<\/p>\n

3. Jerevan:<\/strong>\u00a0Armenias hovedstad Jerevan het opprinnelig Erebuni og har v\u00e6rt bebodd i mer enn 2700 \u00e5r, noe som gj\u00f8r den til en av verdens eldste byer (nest etter byer som Jerusalem og Damaskus).<\/p>\n

4. Storhetstiden:<\/strong>\u00a0Armenias storhetstid var i \u00e5rene 95-55 f.Kr. under Tigran den store, da det armenske riket strakte seg fra Kaspihavet til Middelhavet og dekket Georgia, Aserbajdsjan, Libanon og Syria, samt deler av Tyrkia, Iran og Irak.<\/p>\n

5. Kristendom:<\/strong>\u00a0Armenia var det f\u00f8rste landet som offisielt konverterte til kristendommen. Selv om noen hevder at det skjedde i 301 e.Kr., er det i dag enighet om at 314 e.Kr. er det korrekte \u00e5rstallet. Uansett er begge disse datoene f\u00f8r 391 e.Kr., da Romerriket offisielt ble kristnet.<\/p>\n

Fakta: Det armenske flagget heter \"Yeraguyn\" p\u00e5 armensk og ble vedtatt 24. august 1990.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

6. Bibelen:<\/strong>\u00a0Armensk var det attende spr\u00e5ket som Bibelen - helt eller delvis - ble skrevet p\u00e5. Den armenske bibeloversettelsen fra 433 e.Kr. regnes som en av de beste i verden.<\/p>\n

7. Gotiske kirker:<\/strong>\u00a0Armenerne bygde kirker i gotisk stil hundre \u00e5r f\u00f8r de f\u00f8rste lignende kirkene ble bygget i Europa.<\/p>\n

8. Utenlandske herskere:<\/strong>\u00a0Armenia har blitt erobret av grekere, romere, persere, bysantinere, mongoler, arabere, ottomanere, tyrkere og russere opp gjennom historien.<\/p>\n

9. Folkemord:<\/strong>\u00a0De mest brutale herskerne i Armenia var de tyrkiske osmanene, som fra slutten av 1800-tallet gjentatte ganger drepte armenere. I 1915 deporterte osmanene det armenske folket til \u00f8rkenen i Syria og det dav\u00e6rende Mesopotamia (n\u00e5 Irak), der mellom 600 000 og 1,5 millioner armenere d\u00f8de av sult. Sammen med hererofolket i S\u00f8r-Afrika er armenerne det eneste folket som har blitt utsatt for folkemord p\u00e5 1900-tallet.<\/p>\n

10. Ber\u00f8mte armenere:<\/strong>\u00a0Blant de kjente armenerne finner vi bl.a: Garry Kasparov (sjakkspiller), Kirk Kerkorian (forretningsmann og medeier i Chrysler), Jack Kevorkian (patolog) og sangerne Cher og Charles Aznavour.<\/p>\n

Det armenske folkemordet var mest omfattende i \u00e5rene 1915-1918, da 1-1,5 millioner armenere ble drept av de tyrkiske osmanene. Her blir en gruppe armenere f\u00f8rt til et fengsel i Mezireh (Kharpert, Armenia) av osmanske soldater.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
