Overview

In the 6 century BC, Armenians settled in the kingdom of Urartu (Urartu is an Assyrian name of Mount Ararat). The first Armenian state appeared after the downfall of the union of Urartian states immediately after the collapse of the Assyrian Empire in 612 BC Later on, Tigrancs 11 (Tigranes the Great) (95-56 BC) took advantage of a dragged-out war between Rome and Parthta, and created a vast, but short-lived empire that stretched from the Lesser Caucasus to the borders of Palestine.
