William Saroyan, Inhale, Exhale
“
There is a small area of land in Asia Minor that is called Armenia, but it is not so. It is not Armenia. It is a place. There are only Armenians, and they inhabit the earth, not Armenia, since there is no Armenia. There is no America and there is no England, and no France, and no Italy. There is only the earth.

About Armenians
Armenian (Armenian: հայեր, hayer hɑˈjɛɾ) are an ethnic group native to the Armenian highlands in the Caucasus region of south-eastern Europe. Armenians constitute the main population of Armenia and the de facto independent Artsakh until it was annexed by Azerbaijan. There is a wide-ranging diaspora of around five million people of full or partial Armenian ancestry living outside modern Armenia. The largest Armenian populations today exist in Russia, the United States, France, Georgia, Iran, Germany, Ukraine, Lebanon, Brazil, and Syria. With the exceptions of Iran and the former Soviet states, the present-day Armenian diaspora was formed mainly as a result of the Armenian genocide.
