The same @Pontifex who condemned Azerbaijan’s military aggression against Armenia, the same Pope to recognize the #ArmenianGenocide you deny, and the same Pope that on Easter called on #Azerbaijan to #FreeArmenianPows

Oh and by the way, read this Nasimi
From talking about @Pontifex and #Easter to fake propaganda and #Armenophobia #DontBelieveAzerbaijan Image
1) King Urnayr of Caucasian Albania was baptized by Catholicos Saint Gregory the Illuminator in 314. Caucasian Albania along with Caucasian Iberia (326) were extremely intertwined with Armenia and among the first nations to convert to Christianity. Nothing to do with Azerbaijan.
2) Today the few remaining Russians largely Eastern Orthodox Christians (down from 510k to 120k) and Jews (50k down to 10k) are remnants of once larger communities. Non-Muslims have gone from some 30% down to under 2%. The Armenian, largely Oriental Orthodox, have disappeared.
3) How can you continue to lie if 30,000 Armenians in Azerbaijan when your own damn census from 2009 reported 220 Armenians (17 men and 203 women)... the Armenian Church in Baku is the only Armenian church still standing in the country (down from 306 in 1912). It’s locked up now. Image

In this thread I'll be listing the churches of #Yerevan, #Armenia. I'll break them down by district and go attempt to chronicle the history of each structure.

#Christianity #Architecture #History Image
Kentron District is the historic core of Yerevan. Its where the former Fortress of Yerevan was located and is home to 125,453 people (as of the 2011 Census). Image

1) You claimed the “Karabakh issue” was solved.
2) Your political party is the only one performing (a circus)
3) Democracy... you rank “not free” according for @freedomhouse
4) Economic freedom? Your government owns SOCAR (81% of your economy is oil based).
5) Strengthen what?
“There can be no disagreement on national matters.”

That’s called a dictatorship @azpresident 🤡
He really said “performance of political parties” and “democratic development” 💀

Maybe a statue of Saint Gregory the Illuminator or King Tigran II? Something similar to Saint George in Tbilisi’s Tavisupleba (Freedom) Square? ImageImage
Some potential examples:

Left: King Trdat I Arshakuni (53-88 AD)

Right: King Tigran II Artashesian (95-55 BC)

These are on display at the Palace of Versailles. ImageImage
There’s also a statue of King Trdat I (r. 53-88 AD) erected Rome. It was in commissioned 66 AD by Emperor Nero, a personal friend of Trdat. It’s currently displayed at the Louvre in Paris. Image

1) Let’s talk about #Nakhichevan - a lost homeland. ImageImageImageImage
2) The the name "Nakhichevan" in #Armenian literally means "the place of first descent", a Biblical reference to the descent of Noah's Ark on the adjacent Mount #Ararat. Armenian tradition says that Nakhichevan was founded by Noah. Image
3) The region was at the center of the ancient Kingdom of #Armenia (858 BC-428 CE). During the invasion by Sassanid #Persian Shah Shapur II (r. 309-379) he removed 2,000 Armenian and 16,000 #Jewish families from #Nakhichevan (360-370 CE). ImageImage
