Armenia

The landlocked Republic of Armenia is a Eurasian neighbor of Turkey, Iran, Georgia, and Azerbaijan and its Nakhchivan exclave. Armenia's tightly knit population claims descent from the Biblical Noah's great great grandson Hayk. Typical questions relate to the country's ancient legacies in art, literature, music, and religion; industry and manufacturing based economy; pristine appeal to mountain climbers and skiers; and troubled politics with Turkey and Azerbaijan.

How did Armenia get its name?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The native Armenian name for the country is Hayk'. The name in the Middle Ages was extended to Hayastan, by addition of the Iranian suffix -stan (land). The name has traditionally been derived from Hayk (Հայկ), the legendary patriarch of the Armenians and a great-great-grandson of Noah, who according to Moses of Chorene defeated the Babylonian king Bel in 2492 BC, and established his nation in the Ararat region. The further origin of the name is uncertain.The exonym Armenia is attested in the Old Persian Behistun inscription (515 BC) as Armina ( ). Ancient Greek Αρμένιοι "Armenians" is mentioned by Hecataeus of Miletus (476 BC). Xenophon, a Greek general servingin some of the Persian expeditions, describes many aspects of Armenian village life and hospitality. He relates that the people spoke a language that to his ear sounded like the language of the Persians. According to the histories of both Moses of Chorene and Michael Chamich, Armenia derives from the name of Aram, a lineal descendent of Hayk.

How do you say Hello and Goodbye in Armenian?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Hello

բարև (Barev) - informal

Բարև Ձեզ (Barev dzez) - formal

Goodbye

There are different ways to say this in Armenian, now keep in mind I will stick to Armenian even though many Armenians say things in Russian. The most formal way to say it is ցտեսություն (ts-tesutyun*), still in a more formal way you can say հաջողություն (hajoghutyun*), and informally you can say հաջող (hajogh*).

*The 'u' here is pronounced like the 'oo' in "goo". The 'j' just like the 'j' in "jump". The 'gh' in this case would be like the gutteral sound one makes when they hock a loogie.

Asked by Wiki User

These two neighboring countries in the Caucasus Mountains were Christianized in the 4th century. For many centuries they were independent Christian churches. The Armenian church is independent of any other Christian church. The Georgian church shifted its allegiance several times from Constantinope to Moscow to Rome, but it is currently linked to the Patriarch of Constantinople as an Orthodox church.

Why did the Turkish government expelled Armenians from their homes?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Armenians were deported out of their own lands by the Turkish in the Ottomon Empire; there is no reason for anyone to be deported out of their OWN lands.

The 1915 Genocide left 1.5 million Armenians dead; churches burnt and lands taken (ie. Mount Ararat and Masis). The Genocide is recognized by many countries; however, not by all, given political and economic reasons.

Do Armenia celebrates Christmas?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Armenians celebrate Christmas on the 6th of January.There was an ancient pagan feast day which was a problem, because since most were Christians at that time, paganism (the worship of Sun, Moon, Fire, idols etc…) was fading out except for this one festival dedicated to light which was called the Festival of Lights. People could not forget about this festival, so they moved the birth of Christ to December 25th so that the people would start to forget about that pagan feast day. And so it was… however back in Armenia, this problem did not exist since Armenians had done away with paganism back in the year 301A.D. when Armenia became the first Christian Nation.So, Armenians celebrate Christmas, Theophany (the Revelation of God) - since when He was baptized in the River Jordan, the heavens opened up and God's voice said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased." (Matt. 3:17) ), and the Baptism of Christ on the 6th of January.


Like all of us ,Armenians celebrate the new year in Dec.31 ,and the x-mas or Sourp dznount in Armenian in Jan. 6.
