About 3.6 million
Armenians live in Armenia and some 1 million more reside in other
parts of the former Soviet Union. Another 4 million are scattered
around the world, with the largest communities in the United States,
Canada, France, Iran, Argentina, Lebanon, Turkey, Syria and Australia.
Armenians are successful in business and professional life. They
are renowned as scientists, doctors and educators, and excel in
the arts and literature.
Armenians are also the oldest Christian
nation. The introduction of Christianity is ascribed to St. Gregory
the Illuminator, who converted the pagan Armenian sovereign Trdat
III in 301 AD. The Armenian language is a discrete branch of Indo-European,
with a unique alphabet.
