Abstract
Armenians constitute an ethnic group whose ancestral homeland lies in a largely mountainous area between the Black and Caspian seas. In the 1,700 years of the existence of Armenian Christianity, Armenians seldom have enjoyed political independence, so the national church, to which over 90 percent of Armenians, whether in the homeland or the worldwide diaspora claim adherence, regularly has united and represented the Armenian people.
