      nope, it is a kingdom of survivors... since its existence, the Armenians have been surrounded by many different hostile nations/kingdoms, and they never had a time when they could live peacefully without being bothered by the neighbors. Currently today a crumble of that kingdom still exists and its people are suffering from Turko-Azeri aggression which try their very best to erase the word Armenia, Armenian, and its culture from the Armenian Highlands @@user-cg2tw8pw7j

      It's all been so foolish. So many centuries of fighting, millions of death, only for the civilizations of Iran and Eastern Rome to be destroyed by some desert sheepf**kers...
      It's such a pity that Persians and Greeks could not agree over territorial disputes in Caucasus and Mesopotamia, and then coexist together.
      And now Russians and Ukrainians are butchering one another by hundreds of thousands - all while wahhabis are taking over all of Europe. History repeats itself in the most tragic way.

    Fun fact: Roman Emperor Heraclius offered Khosrou II a treaty in 624 A.D. to end the war earlier that would've allowed the Persians to keep all the territory they had gained minus Anatolia and Lazica. Had Khosrou II accepted the treaty, then it's likely that the Sassanid Empire would've been spared from Muslim conquest as the Persians would've had more time to rebuild, more territory, resources, etc. Meanwhile, the Eastern Roman Empire would've been able to focus more on the more homogeneous parts of their empire.
    Shame it didn't occur, in large part due to the pride of the Persians and them not willing to accept a treaty favorable to them unless forced to do so..

      @erfan. 3 роки тому +5

      ​@@viraloracle5151 I agree with you on Shapur but about Khosrow, the thing is his ascension to the throne was by getting help from the Roman emperor and in return he gave up a piece of land that was obtained by the hard work of many previous kings of Iran. and then after the death of the emperor who had helped him become king, he used that as an excuse and launched a useless grand campaign against the Romans that in the end achieved nothing but destruction of both empires. He also caused so much internal problems and a civil war that crippled the Sassanids to the core. Although I think the start of the civil wars was even before he became king but he did not help either and worsened the situation even more. so all and all I'm not an expert but i think he was the main reason for the downfall of the Sassanids. Imagine if the emperor who had helped him wasn't deposed :( maybe the two empires could have remained friends and helped each other against the barbarians that were rising in all corners of the world

Then they were iranicized and began to speak Azeri which was a variety of iranic language. Then they were Turkified when the Oghuz Turks moved into the area from central asia. Most of Azeri dna is indigenous to the area but there is about 10% east asian/siberian dna that comes from the Turkic tribes. Armenians and Georgians do not have this asian dna that Azeris have. So you are partly correct that Azeris are indigenous but they also received Turkic admixture in the early modern period. Anatolian Turks and Caucasian Turks (Azeris) both have this East/Asian Altaic inheritance along with the Turkish language.
