Armenia : a very brief history
Armenia is a fascinating country with an ancient cultural heritage. In 301 AD, it became the very first state in the world to adopt Christianity as its official religion. Today, the Armenian Apostolic Church is the oldest national church in the world, and more than 4,000 ancient churches and monasteries dot Armenia’s breathtaking landscapes.
Armenians have spent more than two thousand years fighting Persian, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Mongol, Ottoman, Turkish, and Russian forces in order to preserve Armenia’s spectacular homeland, enchanting culture, unique language, innovative traditions, and collective memory of the Armenian Genocide. The modern Republic of Armenia finally became independent in 1991 and is now a unitary, multi-party, democratic nation-state with a bright and promising future.
This short book provides a captivating account of the dazzling and devastating events in Armenia’s fascinating history – an account that you can read in about an hour.
