Re: Aryan Roots Save Armenians from Nazi Extermination

Thanks. I've studied history in topics such as World History (too broad to really cover anything in detail), European history (not much said about Armenians there), and US History (nothing about Armenians there). So I never got to covering Armenian history as well as I could have. Do you have any books that you could recommend? They could be in Armenian or in English, it doesn't really matter to me.

Re: Aryan Roots Save Armenians from Nazi Extermination

Just curious, but, which would you guys say is older (if it's even possible to assume or even guess): Armenians, Greeks, Romans, or Persians? Again, just curious.

I suggest you read some Armenian history. When Armenians were building magnificent cities and contemplating the movement of the stars there were no such things as Romans, Greeks or Iranians. Even the Armenian Araratian empire (Urartu) was centuries older than all the rest.

BTW Armenian: thanks for the tree and stuff. It was useful and cool.

Re: Aryan Roots Save Armenians from Nazi Extermination

So your saying that Armenians are an Iranian people? I know that Armenians and Iranians share a lot of history and culture, and that Armenians and Iranians have generally been close, but I didnt know that Armenians feel that they were part of the Iranic sub group of Indo-Europeans.

No, I'm saying that ancient Iranians are an Armenian people. This is fact, as far as I'm concerned. Your forefathers originated within the Armenian Highlands, as a result they were proto-Armenians. And your language is of the same subbranch as the Armenian language. Armenian national historiography goes back well over four thousand five hundred years. However, after the fall of the Urartian Armenian empire (approximately mid sixth century BC), Armenia began to be heavily influenced by Persia for several hundred years.

Re: Aryan Roots Save Armenians from Nazi Extermination

Actually, I dont think there is any linguistic similarity between Iranic languages and Armenian other than the Indo European connection. Atleast I never heard of it.

Re: Aryan Roots Save Armenians from Nazi Extermination

Those who called themselves aryans were the indo-iranians speaking peoples of asia.

The white supremacists took the name and started to call themselves aryan after thousands of years. For them it was race, you had to look nordic. They considered themselves the only "pure" indoeuropeans.

Not quite right. The Armenian and Iranian languages are from the same Indo-European sub-root. As a matter of fact the Iranian language has evolved from proto-Armenian, and proto-Iranian tribes originated within the Armenian Highlands.

Armenian was thought of as an Iranian language for a long time, because of the vast amount of Iranian influence on it during the Parthian, Sassanid, etc... era's, but it was later determined that it is its own distinct branch.

Also, Armenians are only 'partially' Caucasian. Historic Armenia, from 2500BC to 1915AD, comprised most of eastern Anatolia, northern Mesopotamia and the southern Caucasus with the heartland being the region of Van. Only now has Armenia been 'pushed' into the Caucasus.

True.

Re: Aryan Roots Save Armenians from Nazi Extermination

Armenians are Indo-Europeans, but they arent Aryans, as they are not of the Iranian branch of Indo-Europeans, they are of the Caucasian branch of Indo Europeans.

By the way, do not listen to Oslonor, he is a pan Turk spreading his racist ideology all over the internet (Hm...I'm wondering why he isnt banned and why his posts have not been deleted.)

I don't think there is a single person here that takes the idiot in question seriously.
