Hemshin peoples

Hemshin were Armenian in origin,but over the centuries they have evolved into a distinctive ethnic group in their own right.

Origins
According to Ghevont (Leontius the Priest), the Armenian princes Hamam and Shapuh Amatuni, who lost their domains in Artaz to the Arabs, moved to the Byzantine Empire in the 8th century with 12,000 of their people. They settled in the town of Tambut in the mountains and it was eventually renamed Hamamashen, which evolved to Hamshen.

What do u think of them,they have the right to call them selfs Armenians even if some of them have Muslim faith after are these centures,i can see them in future holding dual armenian-turkish passports,even so it give more political power over turks and prove that armenian spirit has not died in turkey.
Maybe they give 12 points to armenia in eurovizion
