Scope note: Antiguo país situado en el occidente asiático, dividido en el siglo XX entre la antigua URSS, Turquía e Irán. Fue atacado en diferentes momentos desde antes del siglo VII a. de C. hasta el año 69 d. de C. por los asirios, medos, persas, griegos bajo Alejandro y los romanos. Cambió de manos con frecuencia en las guerras entre los Imperios Neopersa y Romano desde los siglos III al VII y después bajo los árabes, Seljuks, bizantinos y mongoles. En el siglo XIX surgió el nacionalismo armenio pero sufrió durante las hostilidades entre Rusia y Turquía. Llegó a formar parte de la República Soviética en 1921, pero parte de su territorio permaneció bajo el gobierno de Turquía.
