The History of the Armenian Speaking People, Third Edition

Now in its Third Edition this work has improved text and images at a reduced paperback cost. The 6,000-year history of the Armenian people going back archaeological wine making finds in caves to some say Noah’s ark landing on the sacred Armenian mountain Ararat and co-existing with Persians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines and even Ottomans. At one time the Armenians had a trading empire that went from India to Moscow. Then came catastrophe with the 1915 Genocide where the Ottomans wiped out 1.5 million Armenians after which there was the long road to recovery beginning in Paris and elsewhere around the world with a diaspora of 5 million people with 3 million in the homeland held captive by the Soviet Empire until its fall and subsequent immediate rise of the independent Republic of Armenia where today it seeks to take its place in the modern free world.
