Historical Armenia

Historical Armenia refers to the ancient and medieval kingdom established by the Armenian people, primarily located in the mountainous region of the South Caucasus. It includes regions that are now parts of modern-day Armenia, Turkey, Iran, and Georgia. Known for its rich cultural heritage, Armenia was one of the first nations to adopt Christianity as a state religion in 301 AD. Over centuries, it experienced periods of independence, foreign rule, and diaspora, shaping a distinct national identity rooted in language, religion, and history. Today, it is recognized for its resilient culture and contributions to history and Christianity.
