This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The history of Armenia is one of invasion and foreign rule. Historic Armenia traces its lineage back to the 9th century B.C. when a union of local tribes known as Uratu (Ararat) came into being. It was founded by Aram, a legendary national hero, and its people were therefore referred to as Armens or Armenians. The Medes conquered the area in 612 B.C. Cyrus, founder of the Persian Empire, seized the area in 549 B.C. Alexander the Great conquered Persia in 331 B.C., and Armenia gained independence until conquered by Syria in 212 B.C. In 95 B.C. Tigran the Great, established an Armenian kingdom whose borders extended from the Caspian Sea to the Mediterranean. It was conquered by the Romans in 66 B.C. |
