Armenian History Preview
The Armenian civilization had its beginnings nearly 5,000 years ago and during the 3rd millenium BC. In the centuries following, the Armenians withstood invasions and nomadic migrations, creating a unique culture that blended Iranian social and political structures with Hellenic-- and later Christian--literary traditions. For two millennia, independent Armenian states existed sporadically in the region between the northeastern corner of the Mediterranean Sea and the Caucasus Mountains, until the last medieval state was destroyed in the fourteenth century...

Armenian Genocide 1915-1923
It is imperative that we understand the Armenian Genocide and realize its ramifications across the world. It is interestingly uncanny how Hitler cited the Armenian Genocide and its insignificance in the minds of the people of the world, right before he proceeded to carry out the Jewish Holocaust.
