I was talking about Armenia's impact on history, not its longevity, which I do find pretty amazing, especially during the time when some Armenians migrated to Kilikia and founded an independent kingdom there, during the Crusades.

I am sorry that you felt that some of my comment were offensive. I tried my best not offend anyone, especially an Armenian fan/native(?) such as you. Once again, I'd like to point out how unnecessarily touchy and assertive people get when their nation is called unimportant. Are you trying to argue that Armenia was more important then the Syrian Empire/Arche Seleukia? I agree that Armenia was important, but to say that it was more crucial then the Seleukids or especially the Romans and Greeks is, well ... just not what I believe to be true.

I was born in Ukraine, but lived m life in Russia. I would not mind for instance, if someone called Ukraine or Russia (before 20th century - when it became really important with WWII and Cold War) unimportant. There is always arguments for both sides. Also, please note that I am not trying to start flaming. I'd like to keep this discussion civil.
