A country which has seen well over its share of hardships. Yes, we are strong nationalists and we are closely knit. Armenian Martyr's day is a solemn day, our Patron saints are Vartan and Gregory the Illuminator.
There is a large diaspora of Armenians throughout the world. We can be found in Indonesia, Australia, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Syria, Egypt, Greece, Turkey, Russia, Ukraine, France, Italy, the UK, Argentina, the U.S. and of course Armenia.
We were butchered by the Ottoman Turks for being Armenian, Christian or both from 1915-1925. The Turkish government still denies this though most educated Turks state that 1 million Armenians indeed were killed by the Turkish government. Stating this fact is still against Turkish law, which seems a little suspicious. Those who are even semi-educated do not deny the Genocide, but I guess that cannot be said about some.
We are normally large people with dark hair and dark brown eyes. Some though are Aryan, but they are oddly called Cossacks for some strange reason.
We are devout Christians, and take pride in the fact that in the early 4th century, Armenia was the first nation to adopt Christianity.
There is a long, great and epic history I could tell you know but that would take too long.
Armenia is an incredibly persistent nation, having survived for so long and outlasting countless rivals.

Armenia: Many people don't even know what Armenia is. Armenia is a wonderful country. The people who DO know Armenia, they probably just know it from the recognition of what had happened on April 24, 1915. The big Armenian Genocide. It was started by the Turks who still deny everything about how they caused it. Well, everything here is correct, but Armenia is much more than just some poor country that went through a lot. Armenia had many, many beautiful sights along with all the nature before the Turks took most of it. But now Armenia still has a LOT of beautiful places. Most Armenian women are normally beautiful, and the men are handsome. We are a wonderful culture and we love everything about our country. We may have some inside jokes saying stuff like "haha duh we are Armenians of course we would do something like that" or I don't know somethin' like that, but we still love our country and out culture

Ok, firstly, those of you denying the Armenian genocide, I think you should shut up and take a minute to pull your heads out of your asses. If you can't do that, then at least take your bigotry elsewhere, somplace where your small minded stupidity is welcome. Secondly, to the person who compared the Armenian genocide to the Holocaust, I'm afraid you're mistaken if you think they're comparable. Somewhere between 800'000 to 1.5 million Armenians were killed during the genocide which took place between 1915 and 1918. This simply can not compare to the staggering 11 million Jews, blacks and homosexuals who were slaughtered in the Holocaust which took place between 1933 and 1945. Don't get me wrong, I've lobied for U.S. recognition of the Armenian genocide, as I believe it is an insult to the lives that were lost to let it go unrecognized. Like System says, "Recognition, Restoration, Reparation." But to compare the two tragedies is like trying to compare a man who was stabbed to death to man who was sodomized and then decapitated. There really is no comparison. Anyway, Armenia is a place that has contributed greatly to the culture of America, in the fields of both music, and art.
Dude1: The Armenian genocide never happened, they're all full of shit.

Dude2:Tell that to John.

Dude1: Who?

Dude2: The Armenian kid who's got his grandparents journals from the early 1900s. You know, the ones that describe how the Seljuks fucked them over.

Beautiful country that had gone through a genocide.
Armenians are the funniest people in the world, not to mention the nicest.
Armenian grandma's are heaven's angels.
Basterma. Enough said.

Unfortunately, this is also the country from which System of a Down was created.
This is the country's only mistake, though it is a huge one.

"Well, we've got soujouk, basterma, basterma, basterma, basterma..."
"Oh, i see, you're Armenian"
