I believe Armenia is connected to the ancient civilization of Urartu.
Armenians had a powerful kingdom in ancient times, they were a client state of the Roman Empire, they were Christianized at an early date, they provided troops in support of the Byzantine Emperors, they maintained their Christianity in the face of ferocious persecution by the Turks and continue to do so up to the present.
Americans of Armenian extraction are strongly patriotic people, hard working and industrious. And, of no less importance, Armenian women are very beautiful and exotic looking.
Too bad too many other Americans are willing to forgive the damn Turks for the evil they did against the Armenians and other Christian minorities in the Ottoman Empire and even up to the present in modern Turkey. Perhaps NOW that the Damn Turks have demonstrated their perfidiousness towards America and Israel, Americans will change their minds about the Armenian holocaust.
