Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Великая Армения" in Russian language version.
Traditionally, Greater Armenia consisted of fifteen «provinces»: Upper Armenia, Fourth Armenia, Aghznik, Turuberan, Mokk, Korjaik, Parskahayk, Vaspurakan, Siunik, Artsakh, Paytakaran, Utik, Gugark, Tayk, and Ayrarat.
Armenia became the first country to adopt Christianity about 300 ce, when St. Gregory the Illuminator converted the Arsacid king Tiridates III.
He returned to Armenia in the midst of a Christian persecution pressed by King Tiridates III (who was a zealot for the regional idols) and was imprisoned in a burial pit. After being rescued, Gregory reputedly converted the king about 300, and Tiridates then became the first monarch in history to impose Christianity on his people. He did so about 20 years before Constantine I.
Титул «царь царей», который вскоре принимает Тигран II, был вполне закономерен — при нём Армения действительно превратилась в крупнейшую державу.
Сравнительно недолгой независимости Армении пришел конец в 220 г. до н. э., когда Антиох III присоединил это государство к так называемой Великой Армении, созданной им в рамках Селевкидского государства.
Artaxias built a fortress city at a site on the left bank of the Araxes, near the present Khorvirap, which was to remain the seat of the Armenian monarchy until the 2nd century A.D. (see below); it was named Artaxšas-šāt (Joy of Artaxias), abbreviated to Artašat in Armenian and Artaxata in Greek
The chronology of Armenia’s conversion presents a problem. The event used to be dated about 300, but more recent scholars (notably P. Ananian "La data e le circostanze della consecrazione di S. Gregorio Illuminatore, " Le Muséon 84, 1961, pp. 43-73, 317-60) tend to change the date to 314/315—a surmise which seems probable but cannot be proved.
Разделение Армении на 15 провинций и 189 кантонов взято автором, по всей вероятности, из официального источника.
