Additional Interesting facts about Armenia:
1. Hayastan is the Armenian name for Armenia, derived from the Haya people who were present even before the formation of Urartu.
2. Around the year 405 AD the Armenian linguist Mesrop Mashtots developed the unique Armenian alphabetic script still used today.
Հայաստանի Հանրապետություն
Hayastani Hanrapetut’yun
3. Classical Armenian contains loanwords from Parthian, Greek, Syriac, Latin and other languages such as ancient Uratian.

The fact that Armenians survived till this day is a freaking miracle! Love from China.

Honestly just amazed at how old Armenia actually is sometimes. As a fan of Roman history, I knew it was quite old because any survey of Roman (or Persian) history will bring up Armenia over and over. Still blows my mind a little just how ancient their origins are. Respect to Armenia and Armenians from Norway.

I'm an Assyrian, and despite our past wars with Armenia, Assyrians love, respect and stand with Armenia.

Armenia is indestructible! Truly one of the greatest cultures on earth.

After so many conquering and reconquering, I’m shocked Armenians were able to keep their identity and culture.

Long live Armenia, for such a small nation to last this long among these huge empires show that they are people of steel, us Persians are proud of them and we are honored to call them a friend.
Long live Armenia.
