' Ihe name "Armenia" has been used
so often that it is perhaps taken by
many to be an actual state. But there
is no such entity; the political unit,
Armenia, has not existed for nearly
1,300 years.
' Like Juuea, Armenia fell Ions ago
unuer alien sway; and like the Jews,
mougn not so completely, the Armen
ians were scattered among all nations.
Still, in plte of misfortune, the largest
group of Armenians has managed to
live on in their old home land, roughly
between the Black and Caspian seas on
the west and east, the Caucasus moun
tains on the north, and the headwaters
of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers on
the south and southwest. There, sur
rounded by people who have persecut
ed and oppressed them ; divided politi
callylong among Turkey anl Persia,
and more recently among those two
countries and Russia besides they
have remained Armenians In blood,
culture and religion.
1 Retaining their racial characteristics
with such tenacity when the world at
times seemed arrayed against them, It
Is little wonder that the Armenians
have been called "the Jews of the
East" and that It has even been sug
gested seriously that this people has
sprung from the "ten lost tribes of Is
rael." Persecution seems to have whet
ted the Armenian's Intellect, and made
of him a natural trader. Whether in
Constantinople or Shanghai, London or
Buenos Aires, the Armenian competes
successfully with native son or with
Greek or Jew.
American Interest in the Armenians
has always been heightened by the
fact that they are Christians that
they make up nn island of Christen- j
""iii hi tpe nuge sea of Islam. Ar
menian Christians are different from
those witii whom either the Protestants
or Roman Catholics of America are
familiar. It is from the Armenian
church, perhaps, that one mav got the
best reminder that Christianity, like all
other world religions, came out of the
East; for this essentially oriental peo
ple has preserved in its Eastern home
many of the customs and practices of
the primitive Christian church.
Not Like Western Christians.
Christianity was adopted by the Ar
menians early in the Fourth" century,
and their bishops were present at the
Council of Nlcea in 325. After the
Council of Chnlcedon in 451, however,
the Armenians broke away from the
more orthodox church to the west and
established an independence that has
been maintained, with only the brief
est breaks, until today, it has been
earn mat when the pagan Armenian
king Tiridates had been baptized and j
had made Christianity the official reli
gion, he ordered the papin priests to j
become priests of the new faith. This
they refused to do until assured that I
the sacrifices of animals, which fur
nished meat for their families, would
be continued.
For a while such sacrifices actually
were carried out in conjunction with
the spiritual sacrifice of the eucharist.
the animal victims being slaughtered
before a crucifix in the porch of the
church. Later this unison of the two
vastly different forms of sacrifice was
ahandoned, but still animal sacrifices
were made at other times.
Armenian Christians differ less from
Christians of the Greek church than
from Western Christians, both Catho
lic and Protestant. Politics and a
deep desire for independence, rather
than tenacious adherence to tenets of
fuith, have been the chief causes, prob
ably, of their failure to merge with
the- Greek or Russian church. The
principal points of faith which set the
Armenians apart from Western Chris
tians are their belief in the single na
ture of Christ, their merging of the
Christmas and baptismal feasts In
January and their belief that Christ
became divine only upon his baptism
In the Jordan.
After the capture of Constantinople
the Turks amde separate millets of the
Armenian Christians, Greek Christians
find Jews, placing in the hands of a
patriarch, selected by the sultan and
resident In Constantinople, both the
spiritual and political affairs of their
people. The Armenian patriarch had
representatives in every bishopric.
Thus there wag built up a system of
mixed politics and religion.
Subject to Other Nations.
When the Armenians were first
neighbors: the Babylonians, the MedesJ
and Persians, the Seleucidae, the Mfc-
uiaiis. rom snortly after the begin-l
nlng of the Christian era until 632,
when the country fell to the Byzan
tines, was Armenia's age of Independence.
The apex of power and culture was
reached during the latter part of thatj
iienou. -men, as v iscount liryce pur
it, with tragic suddenness "the dovel
opment of the race was arrested just
when their capacities were beginning
to bear fruit."
Since that time the Armenians have
really never had a chance. In 6,30
they were conquered by the Arabs and
ruled by governors appointed by the
caliphs. They became part of the em
pire of the Seljuk Turks until it split
up In 1157. They were raided and har
assed by the Asiatic nomads bound
westward, finally by the devastatingj
Timur-the-Lame. Their nobility had
fled to Bysantlum with the coming of
the Arabs. After Tlmur many of the
common people migrated to Cillcla. In!
the Sixteenth century the Osmanll
Turks and the Persians shared the
dominance of old Armenia. Then In
1828 the Russians pushed south to take
a hand In the division of the old Ar-j
menlan territory. In 1878 Russia made
her farthest southward advance, con-(
querlng the Turkish-Armenian San
jnks of Batum, Ardahnn and Kars.l
Since then the Armenians have lived
with varying fortunes under the three
jurisdictions, those of Turkey, Persia
and Russia. j
Much of the bloody suffering that
has befallen the Armenians of Turkey
during the past hnlf century Is as
cribed indirectly to Russia. The Ar
menians under Turkish rule had been
Impoverished and oppressed for a long
time. Russian assumption of their
championship, and her demands for re
forms incensed the Turks; and after
the unprincipled Abdul Humid II be
came sultan and realised that Russia
was being checkmated by the "conceit
of Europe" all restraint was removed
and wholesale massacres took place.
Probably a million or more Armenians
lost their lives in these horrible
slaughters. Of these 000,000 were done
to death, It is estimated, during the
World war.

Independence Not Restored.
For a brief period after the armis
tice the Armenians dreamed of a re
stored independence in their old homo
land. But the patriotic fervor which
this dream aroused only served to
draw down on their heads Increased
persecution from the Turks when the
scheme fell through. Hundreds of
thousands of refugees fled from Turk
ish Armenia to Russian Armenia and
augmented there famine conditions
which, in turn, took their toll of many
j thousands. It was under these comll
i tions that American relief measures
j probably saved the lives of myriads.
fi'lnit was recognized as Russian Ar
menia before the World war, the re
I gion which served as the refuge of Ar
i meniiins. has been markedly lessened
' in extent by a post-war treaty between
the Turkish nationalists and soviet
Russia. By this agreement, known as
the Treaty of Kars, Turkey has hud re
stored to her most of the areas con
quered by Imperial Russia In 1878. The
Sanjak of Batum Is practically inter
nationalized, wiiile the Sunjaks of Ar-
i dahan and Kars are ceded. Only the
Lrivan district, about j.i.ooo square
miles in extent, Is retained under Rus
sian control. In this territory live V
200.000 of the probably 2,r,fifi,000 Ar
menians. The district is organized as
the Armenian soviet republic and.
with the adjoining republics of Geor
gia and Azerbaijan, makes up the
Transcaucaslan Socialist Federated
Soviet republic, one of the "associated
republics" of soviet Russia.
The vague region of Armenia, like
the spirit of its people, centers around
a noble mountain known to all the
world: Ararat, a thousand feet higher
than Mont Blanc. The tradition of
Noah Is a circumstantial story to the
Armenians. They will show one the
very spot where the ark grounded and
they assert that this most Important
debarkation point Is still guarded by
genii with flaming swords. To the
southeast of Ararat 1!p the town of
N'nkhichevan, meaning "first dwelling,"
