Re: Will you read the Quran in Armenian?
Yes it is but it is irrelevant for today. If someone believes in Allah but is an Armenian patriot it doesn't really make any difference to me. Besides, not only the Armenian Orthodox Church played a major role.
The modern Armenian nationalism and ethnic consciousness derives largely due to the Venetian Armenian Mechitarists Order of the San Lazzaro island in Venice (it is until today under Armenian jurisdiction granted by the Holy See) They educated many Armenians, printed books, the Alphabet and many other activities at times were these things did not exists for the Armenians and they did all these long before 1700. They are one of the greatest Armenian patriots.
