"Rome" was mainly the shadow of its former self though. It just had the name.

@AbanG GedanG Sassains were one family of Iranian Persians who took over from their Parthian (& Mede) cousins. Different names to distinguish different times. Otherwise it is mostly Iranian/Persian down to today which is confusing.

It is a traitorous kingdom. When the Roman army was marching in the state of Armenia, the Armenians betrayed them and allied themselves with the Persians.

nope, it is a kingdom of survivors... since its existence, the Armenians have been surrounded by many different hostile nations/kingdoms, and they never had a time when they could live peacefully without being bothered by the neighbors. Currently today a crumble of that kingdom still exists and its people are suffering from Turko-Azeri aggression which try their very best to erase the word Armenia, Armenian, and its culture from the Armenian Highlands @@user-cg2tw8pw7j

The Arab expansion and the Turks moving to Anatolia changed everything though, they moved between the Greek and Persian homeland so now they can't fight each other between their borders anymore.

@@JcDizon yes its sad .i wish they could fight forever 😀

Love Armenia from Iran❤,,, but dude I think armenia was part of Persia in the time of Acheamenid/safavid/Qajar/Afshar empires and was sometimes was part of Parthian and sasanid Persia and Roman empires

cyrus a2579 Armenian rulers under parthian vs Sassanid iranian empires and Rome were parthians(Arsacid dynasty of Armenia established after battle of Rhandia which parthians under rule of vologases the first defeated the Romans and vologases brother (Tiradates)became king of Armenia/the treaty of peace offered by parthian king which both powers shared Armenia but the king always be from parthian Royal family the Arsacids)so i think somany Armenian people could have iranian origins as they have parthian influences in their language and parthian names like Suren and Karen.

cyrus a2579 I am not against Islam but I can agree pre-Islamic times were better in my opinion

cyrus a2579 I don’t want to be biased about Parthians but we didn’t had great empire like Arsacid Parthians which with heroic characters like Arsaces the great came in to power so soon(at hellenistic age which there were all Hellenic states all around)and lasted for 5 centuries with unification between Aryan tribes after arabs conquest but in fact faced something upset (weak Iranian dynasties,Turks,Mongolians ...).we always be blamed to forgotten the parthians they did something others couldn’t (completely restored Iranian culture and civilization more pure than before which influenced by Mesopotamia during Medes and Achaemenids)Sassanids continued what Parthians started + wrong Theocratic ideas which demolished secular Ideas of Parthians...

It's all been so foolish. So many centuries of fighting, millions of death, only for the civilizations of Iran and Eastern Rome to be destroyed by some desert sheepf**kers... It's such a pity that Persians and Greeks could not agree over territorial disputes in Caucasus and Mesopotamia, and then coexist together. And now Russians and Ukrainians are butchering one another by hundreds of thousands - all while wahhabis are taking over all of Europe. History repeats itself in the most tragic way.

@Alexandru Bogdan Stirbu yeah I see ik this was 3 weeks ago

😢.

The answer to each of those questions is way too many to count, as well as it being very hard to define what counts and what doesn't.

The simple answer is that we can't. Wars, mythologies and famines have been around far longer than our ability to record them

@Pecu Alex its pointless to prove anything to azeris, they grew under the yoke of propaganda and unfprtunately not able to perceive reality. Its useless to spend time for argue with people devoid of analytical thinking.

@Şahin Asgerov lol. Are you from Mars?

@@user-bv6rh6jq7y they are not azeris. Azeris are armenian, kurdish, persion brothers. They are oguz-turkomans from Turkmenistan

@Şahin Asgerov Azerbaijani's were originally caucasian and spoke a northeastern caucasian language called Udi. Those were the Caucasian Albanians. Then they were iranicized and began to speak Azeri which was a variety of iranic language. Then they were Turkified when the Oghuz Turks moved into the area from central asia. Most of Azeri dna is indigenous to the area but there is about 10% east asian/siberian dna that comes from the Turkic tribes. Armenians and Georgians do not have this asian dna that Azeris have. So you are partly correct that Azeris are indigenous but they also received Turkic admixture in the early modern period. Anatolian Turks and Caucasian Turks (Azeris) both have this East/Asian Altaic inheritance along with the Turkish language.

​@Şahin Asgerov How does this conflict with what he said? He said Azeris (or whatever you want to call them) are 90% indigenous and 10% Turk. Turkish tribes settled in north-west Iran because it was the best pasture lands for nomads, for example, with this small population of nomads (relative to the local population) mixing into that regions population.

Romans: Turkey, Syria, Judea and Palestine, Egypt. Persians: Iran, Iraq, sometimes - eastern coast of Arabia. Ancient Armenia was a few times bigger than the present one, it included today's Eastern Turkey (lake Van, Erzurum etc.). On the place of today's Azerbaijan there was Caucasian Albania (those people have died out, they were the relatives of Lezgins from Dagestan).

(A reply to someone who deleted it now). Yes friend, you are correct. Iranian Azerbaijan ≠ modern-day Republic of Azerbaijan. The word “Azerbaijan” always meant the successor of Atropatene in Persia/Iran, but in 1918 Turk Azeris stole it for their land. Iranian Azerbaijanis like you are the REAL successors of Atropatene, and we Armenians respect our ancient friends! Our problem is with Turkic Azeris who steal Iranian Azerbaijani culture (among Caucasian Albanian and Safavid) and claim it as theirs, while clearly these are all lies... Cheers to you 🇮🇷 🇦🇲

@@ArmanMartirosyan23 Yes they are our ancestors... Because seljuk turks mixed with people of Albania and Atropatene. And we are descendants of them. What about you armenians? Do you think you are descendants of people of Urartu or Hittites.??

Thanks Ollie. Lots of Love

is that so? I mean I already hated Khosrow II and now my hatred even grew more :D the guy screwed up everything and made the country weekend both internally and externally

Khosrow 2 destroyed both sides mostly persia😑

the most popular and badass Sassanid King was Shapur II he defeated 3 Roman emperors but under Khosrow II sassanids empire ruled from egypt to india to Turkey "The Sasanian Empire at its greatest extent c. 620, under Khosrow II " he maybe was a "WAR WAR WAR" guy, but still the king that ruled the largest territory.

​@@viraloracle5151 I agree with you on Shapur but about Khosrow, the thing is his ascension to the throne was by getting help from the Roman emperor and in return he gave up a piece of land that was obtained by the hard work of many previous kings of Iran. and then after the death of the emperor who had helped him become king, he used that as an excuse and launched a useless grand campaign against the Romans that in the end achieved nothing but destruction of both empires. He also caused so much internal problems and a civil war that crippled the Sassanids to the core. Although I think the start of the civil wars was even before he became king but he did not help either and worsened the situation even more. so all and all I'm not an expert but i think he was the main reason for the downfall of the Sassanids. Imagine if the emperor who had helped him wasn't deposed :( maybe the two empires could have remained friends and helped each other against the barbarians that were rising in all corners of the world
