What role had Armenia played in the world?

Armenia has had a long history and only regained its
independence in 1991 after the breakup of the Soviet Union. Armenia had been engulfed by
the Soviet Union in 1922 and had been previously controlled by the Ottoman and Russian
Empires. Before that, Armenia had been overrun by the Mongols during the 13th century.
It enjoyed a brief time of independence after World War I before the takeover by the
Turks and then the Russians. After declaring their independence in 1991, Armenia found
itself in dire financial straits and then in a war with neighboring Azerbaijan. Turkey
joined the blockade against Armenia before Russia interceded with successful peace talks
in 1994. Aside from these two longtime enemies (Turkey and Azerbaijan), Armenia retains
good relations with the rest of the world's nations as of 2010. It's economy has
continued to grow since 1995 and the nation has made strides in modern technology and
even tourism. Armenia remains one of the predominantly Christian nations in their part
of the world, and the nation boasts a unique Armenian language and
alphabet.
