1. Naam:<\/strong>\u00a0Armeni\u00eb ontleent zijn naam aan de oude Perzische Bisutun-inscripties (uit 515 voor Christus), waarin het woord 'Armina' voorkomt. In het Armeens wordt Armeni\u00eb \"Hayk\" genoemd.<\/p>\n

2. Bevolking:<\/strong>\u00a0Er zijn 8 - 10 miljoen Armeni\u00ebrs in de wereld. De meeste Armeni\u00ebrs die in het buitenland wonen, wonen in Rusland (naar schatting 1,5 - 2,9 miljoen) en de VS (naar schatting 0,5 - 1,5 miljoen).<\/p>\n

3. Yerevan:<\/strong>\u00a0De hoofdstad van Armeni\u00eb, Jerevan, heette oorspronkelijk Erebuni en is al meer dan 2700 jaar bewoond, waardoor het een van de oudste steden ter wereld is (na steden als Jeruzalem en Damascus).<\/p>\n

4. De hoogtijdagen:<\/strong>\u00a0De bloeitijd van Armeni\u00eb was in de jaren 95-55 voor Christus onder Tigran de Grote, toen het Armeense Rijk zich uitstrekte van de Kaspische Zee tot aan de Middellandse Zee en Georgi\u00eb, Azerbeidzjan, Libanon en Syri\u00eb omvatte, evenals delen van Turkije, Iran en Irak.<\/p>\n

5. Christendom:<\/strong>\u00a0Armeni\u00eb was het eerste land dat zich officieel bekeerde tot het christendom. Hoewel sommigen beweren dat dit in 301 na Christus gebeurde, is men het er tegenwoordig over eens dat 314 na Christus de juiste datum is. In ieder geval komen beide data voor 391 na Christus, toen het Romeinse Rijk officieel christelijk werd.<\/p>\n

\"Feit:

Feit: De Armeense vlag heet 'Yeraguyn' in het Armeens en werd aangenomen op 24 augustus 1990.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

6. De Bijbel:<\/strong>\u00a0Armeens was de achttiende taal waarin de Bijbel - geheel of gedeeltelijk - werd geschreven. De Armeense vertaling van de Bijbel uit 433 na Christus wordt beschouwd als een van de beste ter wereld.<\/p>\n

7. Gotische kerken:<\/strong>\u00a0Armeni\u00ebrs bouwden kerken in gotische stijl een eeuw voordat de eerste soortgelijke kerken in Europa werden gebouwd<\/p>\n

8. Buitenlandse heersers:<\/strong>\u00a0Armeni\u00eb is in de loop van de geschiedenis veroverd door Grieken, Romeinen, Perzen, Byzantijnen, Mongolen, Arabieren, Ottomanen, Turken en Russen.<\/p>\n

9. Genocide:<\/strong>\u00a0De wreedste heersers in Armeni\u00eb waren de Turkse Ottomanen, die vanaf eind 1800 herhaaldelijk Armeni\u00ebrs vermoordden. In 1915 deporteerden de Ottomanen het Armeense volk naar de woestijnen van Syri\u00eb en het toenmalige Mesopotami\u00eb (nu Irak), waar tussen de 600.000 en 1,5 miljoen Armeni\u00ebrs de hongerdood stierven. Samen met de Herero's in Zuid-Afrika zijn de Armeni\u00ebrs het enige volk dat in de 20e eeuw heeft geleden onder genocide.<\/p>\n

10. Beroemde Armeni\u00ebrs:<\/strong>\u00a0Beroemde Armeni\u00ebrs zijn onder andere: Garry Kasparov (schaker), Kirk Kerkorian (zakenman en mede-eigenaar van Chrysler), Jack Kevorkian (patholoog), en zangers Cher en Charles Aznavour.<\/p>\n

De Armeense genocide was het grootst in de jaren 1915 - 1918, toen 1 - 1,5 miljoen Armeni\u00ebrs werden vermoord door de Turkse Ottomanen.
