1. Namn:<\/strong>\u00a0Armenien har f\u00e5tt sitt namn fr\u00e5n de fornpersiska Bisutun-inskrifterna (fr\u00e5n 515 f.Kr.), d\u00e4r ordet \"Armina\" f\u00f6rekommer. P\u00e5 armeniska kallas Armenien f\u00f6r \"Hayk\"<\/p>\n

2. Befolkning:<\/strong>\u00a0Det finns 8 - 10 miljoner armenier i v\u00e4rlden. De flesta armenier som bor utomlands bor i Ryssland (uppskattat: 1,5 - 2,9 miljoner) och USA (uppskattat: 0,5 - 1,5 miljoner)<\/p>\n

3. Jerevan:<\/strong>\u00a0Armeniens huvudstad Yerevan hette ursprungligen Erebuni och har varit bebodd i mer \u00e4n 2 700 \u00e5r, vilket g\u00f6r den till en av v\u00e4rldens \u00e4ldsta st\u00e4der (n\u00e4st efter st\u00e4der som Jerusalem och Damaskus).<\/p>\n

4. Storhetstiden:<\/strong>\u00a0Armeniens storhetstid var \u00e5ren 95-55 f.Kr. under Tigran den store, d\u00e5 det armeniska riket str\u00e4ckte sig fr\u00e5n Kaspiska havet till Medelhavet och omfattade Georgien, Azerbajdzjan, Libanon och Syrien, samt delar av Turkiet, Iran och Irak<\/p>\n

5. Kristendomen:<\/strong>\u00a0Armenien var det f\u00f6rsta landet som officiellt konverterade till kristendomen. \u00c4ven om vissa h\u00e4vdar att det skedde 301 e.Kr. \u00e4r man idag \u00f6verens om att 314 e.Kr. \u00e4r det korrekta datumet. I vilket fall som helst intr\u00e4ffar b\u00e5da dessa datum f\u00f6re 391 e.Kr., d\u00e5 det romerska riket officiellt blev kristet<\/p>\n

Fakta: Den armeniska flaggan heter \"Yeraguyn\" p\u00e5 armeniska och antogs den 24 augusti 1990<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

6. Bibeln:<\/strong>\u00a0Armeniska var det artonde spr\u00e5ket som Bibeln - helt eller delvis - skrevs p\u00e5. Den armeniska \u00f6vers\u00e4ttningen av Bibeln fr\u00e5n 433 e.Kr. anses vara en av de b\u00e4sta i v\u00e4rlden<\/p>\n

7. Gotiska kyrkor:<\/strong>\u00a0Armenierna byggde kyrkor i gotisk stil ett \u00e5rhundrade innan de f\u00f6rsta liknande kyrkorna byggdes i Europa<\/p>\n

8. Utl\u00e4ndska h\u00e4rskare:<\/strong>\u00a0Armenien har er\u00f6vrats av greker, romare, perser, bysantiner, mongoler, araber, ottomaner, turkar och ryssar under historiens g\u00e5ng.<\/p>\n

9. Folkmord:<\/strong>\u00a0De mest brutala h\u00e4rskarna i Armenien var de turkiska ottomanerna, som fr\u00e5n slutet av 1800-talet upprepade g\u00e5nger d\u00f6dade armenier. \u00c5r 1915 deporterade ottomanerna det armeniska folket till \u00f6knarna i Syrien och d\u00e5varande Mesopotamien (nuvarande Irak), d\u00e4r mellan 600 000 och 1,5 miljoner armenier dog av sv\u00e4lt. Tillsammans med hererofolket i Sydafrika \u00e4r armenierna det enda folk som har utsatts f\u00f6r folkmord under 1900-talet<\/p>\n

10. Ber\u00f6mda armenier:<\/strong>\u00a0K\u00e4nda armenier inkluderar: Garry Kasparov (schackspelare), Kirk Kerkorian (aff\u00e4rsman och del\u00e4gare i Chrysler), Jack Kevorkian (patolog) samt s\u00e5ngarna Cher och Charles Aznavour<\/p>\n
