* Abul-Faraj, Syriac scholar ( d. 1286 )

According to some scholars, Matthew was intolerant towards both Greeks and Latins, as well as unsympathetic towards Syrians, judging by allusions made by Abul-Faraj at a later date.

Armenian historian Matthew of Edessa wrote that Baldwin II was thoroughly devoted to his wife, and refused to consider divorcing her.

When discussing Karabakh and Shusha in the 18th century, the Russian diplomat and historian S. M. Bronevskiy ( Russian: С. М. Броневский ) indicated in his Historical Notes that Karabakh, which he said " is located in Greater Armenia " had as many as 30 – 40, 000 armed Armenian men in 1796.

The sources do not agree on how Hormizd was killed: Theophylact Simocatta states ( iv. 7 ) that Khosrau killed him a few days after his father was blinded ; the Armenian historian Sebeos ( History, Ch. 10. 75 ) states that Hormizd's own courtiers killed him.

" A more favorable explanation is offered by the medieval Armenian historian Matthew of Edessa, who states that " Tzimiskes was from the region of Khozan, from the area which is now called Chmushkatzag.

The Armenian historian of the region, Movses Kaghankatvatsi, who left the only more or less complete historical account, also explains the name Aghvank as a derivation from the word ału ( Armenian for sweet, soft, tender ), which, he said, was the nickname of Caucasian Albania's first governor Arran and referred to his lenient personality.

In the 5th century, Armenia ’ s foremost early medieval historian Movses Khorenatsi ( Մովսես Խորենացի ) testifies that the population of Artsakh and Utik spoke Armenian, with the River Kura, in his words, marking the “ boundary of Armenian speech ” (… զեզերս հայկական խօսիցս ).

In his article “ The Albanian Myth ” Russian historian and anthropologist Victor Schnirelmann demonstrated that Azerbaijani academics have been “ renaming prominent medieval Armenian political leaders, historians and writers, who lived in Karabakh and Armenia into “ Albanians .” Victor Schnirelmann argues that these efforts were first launched in the 1950s and were directed towards “ ripping the population of early medieval Karabakh off from their Armenian heritage ” and “ cleansing Azerbaijan of Armenian history .” In the 1970s, Azerbaijan made a transition from ignoring, discounting or concealing Armenian historical heritage in Soviet Azerbaijan to misattributing and mischaracterizing it as examples of Azerbaijani culture by arbitrarily declaring “ Caucasian Albanians ” as ancestors of modern Azerbaijanis.

Armenian carpets were renowned by foreigners who traveled to Artsakh ; the Arab geographer and historian Al-Masudi noted that, among other works of art, he had never seen such carpets elsewhere in his life.

Art historian Hravard Hakobyan notes that " Artsakh carpets occupy a special place in the history of Armenian carpet-making.

The art of carpet weaving was in addition intimately connected to the making of curtains as evidenced in a passage by Kirakos Gandzaketsi, a 13th century Armenian historian from Artsakh, who praised Arzu-Khatun, the wife of regional prince Vakhtang Khachenatsi, and her daughters for their expertise and skill in weaving.

These events are known to us chiefly through the Armenian historian Matthew, who had been born at Edessa.

According to Armenian historian Movses Khorenatsi writing in c. 482 AD, Tigranes captured Jerusalem and deported Hyrcanus to Armenia, however most scholars deem this account to be incorrect.

Modern historian Suren Yeremyan disputes this assertion, arguing that ancient Armenian tradition placed Nakhichevan's founding to the year 3669 BC and, in ascribing its establishment to Noah, that it took its present name after the Armenian phrase " Nakhnakan Ichevan " ( Նախնական Իջևան ), or " first landing.

According to the early medieval Armenian historian Movses Khorenatsi, from the 3rd to 2nd centuries, the region belonged to the Muratsyan nakharar family but after disputes with central power, King Artavazd I massacred the family and seized the lands and formally attached it to the kingdom.

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.

Due to diplomatic relations with the Mongol Empire, Hethum himself traveled to the Mongol court in Karakorum, Mongolia, which was recorded in the famous account " The Journey of Haithon, King of Little Armenia, To Mongolia and Back " by Hetoum's companion, the Armenian historian Kirakos Gandzaketsi.

Angus Donal Stewart points out that the source of the tradition, a medieval account by the Armenian historian Nerses Balients, does not match with any other accounts by any other historians of the time period, and was simply written as Armenian propaganda of the time.

One, the ABCDE order later used in Phoenician, has continued with minor changes in Hebrew, Greek, Armenian, Gothic, Cyrillic, and Latin ; the other, HMĦLQ, was used in southern Arabia and is preserved today in Ethiopic.

It is a peninsula bound by the Black Sea to the north, Georgia to the north-east, the Armenian Highland to the east, Mesopotamia to the south-east, the Mediterranean Sea to the south, and the Aegean Sea to the west.

Under this definition, Anatolia is bounded to the East by the Armenian Highland, and the Euphrates before that river bends to the southeast to enter Mesopotamia.

Turkey's First Geography Congress in 1941 created two regions to the east of the Gulf of Iskenderun-Black Sea line named the Eastern Anatolia Region and the Southeastern Anatolia Region, the former largely corresponding to the western part of the Armenian Highland, the latter to the northern part of the Mesopotamian plain.

Eastern Anatolia roughly coincides with the western half of the Armenian Highland.

During the 1st century BC the Armenians in what had been Urartu established the powerful Armenian kingdom under Tigran who reigned throughout much of eastern Anatolia between the Caspian, Black Sea and Mediterranean.

During World War I, the Armenian Genocide, the Greek genocide ( especially in Pontus ), and the Assyrian Genocide almost entirely removed the ancient communities of Armenian and Assyrian populations in Anatolia, as well as a large part of its ethnic Greek population.

The transfer of the property of the 4th Army ( except for part of the property of the 366th Motor Rifle Regiment of the 23rd Motor Rifle Division captured by Armenian armed formations in 1992 during the regiment's withdrawal from Stepanakert ) and the 49th arsenal was completed in 1992.

The Azeri armed forces took a series of devastating defeats by Armenian forces during the 1992 – 1994 Nagorno-Karabakh War, which resulted in the loss of control of Nagorno-Karabakh proper and seven surrounding rayons, comprising roughly 16 % of the territory of Azerbaijan.

Azerbaijani sources insist that Armenian victory was largely due to military help from Russia and the wealthy Armenian diaspora.

Armenians partially deny the allegation, claiming that Russian side was equally supplying Armenian and Azerbaijani sides with weapons and mercenaries.

The Armenian Government is working toward closing the Armenian Nuclear Power Plant as soon as alternative energy sources are identified.

Twenty-five million years ago, a geological upheaval pushed up the Earth's crust to form the Armenian Plateau, creating the complex topography of modern Armenia.

To the southwest of the range is the Armenian Plateau, which slopes southwestward toward the Araks River on the Turkish border.

On the Armenian Plateau, the mean midwinter temperature is, and the mean midsummer temperature exceeds.

This led the government to propose reconstruction of the Armenian Atomic Power Station at Metsamor, which was closed after the 1988 earthquake because of its location in an earthquake-prone area and which had the same safety problems as reactors listed as dangerous in Bulgaria, Russia, and Slovakia.
