Urartian proto Armenian problem

Re: Urartian proto Armenian problem

So I have been reading some urartian history, and a lot of historians seem to agree that we Armenians are phrygian colonist who arrived at the Armenian highlands at around 800 BC

So I'd like to ask, what do you guys think about this?

Our history goes back into the mists of time.
The story of Haig (Haik) uniting Hayastan points to a uniting of different groups that actually originally came from the same family. So it is with the phyrigians. The Phyrigians are tracked coming from Albania to Anatolia and that's all that's known. The Phyrigians and Hurrians both originated from the Armenian heartland and spoke our common language. They both migrated to different areas early in our history. The Phyrigians went to Albania before the Albanians arrived. After living with the Albanian for some time that became intolerable and they migrated back to Anatolia. When they came back, they had some different dress habits and customs but did not lose their identity. The large stone pointed hat on top of a mtn in Anatolia is Phyrigians depiction.
The story of us is so old and convoluted it's confusing.
From Noah to us is a winding path of many millennia.

So one has to ask, where did they come from, Central Asia?

If "one" equates to "lot" than yes. Apparently Herodotus claimed those two words of yours. There is no evidence (genetics, language, history) and no one even talk about the connection of Phrygians to Armenians. This would only serve the azeris to promote their theory that Armenians are not native of the region.
