A Brief History of Armenia

Armenia's history goes back 500,000 years when hunters crossed the lands in search of migrating herds.

For centuries Armenia was in constant war against invaders, Romans, Assyrians, Byzantines, Arabs and Turks. All of them have influenced the culture and believe system of Armenia.

Old Armenia formed out of Urartu kingdom in the 9th century BC by the union of local tribes. This kingdom became one of the strongest kingdoms in the area.

Armenia was part of the Persian Empire, until Alexander the Great conquered it and took power.

After 1,500 years of Alexander's death, Armenia became part of the Ottoman Empire and continued on to the beginning of the 20th century.

In 1992 Russia turned Armenia in one of the Soviet Republics.
