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.
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.
Eggplant, lemon juice, olive oil, onion, parsley and tomatoes are the traditional ingredients in Armenia's fried eggplant.
Specifically, the stem end is removed from a cleaned eggplant. The eggplant is peeled, sliced into round pieces about one-quarter (1/4) inch in size, salted, and stacked. After standing for one (1) hour, the eggplant slices are rinsed and patted dry.
The eggplant slices are fried in olive oil over medium heat. They are removed when only slightly browned, drained and placed on a serving platter. They are served with a garnish in which ingredients are added and mixed together in the following order: onions, tomatoes, parsley and lemon juice.
The currency in Armenia is the Dram. The symbol for the dram is (դր).

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.
"Our strength lies in our intensive attacks and our barbarity...After all, who today remembers the genocide of the Armenians?" -- Hitler

No, it is located in Eurasia. It's East of Turkey (Europe) and West of Azerbaijan (Asia). So it is right on the border.
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.
