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.

ոչ

Pronounced in English "voch", with an aspirated 'ch'.

My bad, Lystrop...thanks for correcting me!

Where do the Armenians originate?

Armenians come from HISTORIC ARMENIA, which is a much larger piece of land than the current Republic of Armenia (but includes all of that country). Most of Historic Armenia is in the northeastern portion of Turkey, but there are parts of it in the Republic of Georgia, Azerbaijan, Iran, Iraq, and Syria as well. Additionally, the Armenians were also an urban minority in major Ottoman cities like Constantinople, Sivas, and the cities of the Cilicia region.

See this link for an image of Historic Armenia and see this link for a map of urban Armenian populations in the Ottoman Empire prior to the Armenian Genocide of 1915.
