Page "Nakhchivan" Paragraph 10

According to the Armenian historian Faustus of Byzantium ( 5th century ), when the Sassanid Persians invaded Armenia, Sassanid King Shapur II ( 310-380 ) removed 2, 000 Armenian and 16, 000 Jewish families in 360-370.

In 428, the Armenian Arshakuni monarchy was abolished and Nakhchivan was annexed by Sassanid Persia.

In 623, possession of the region passed to the Byzantine Empire.
