Simon Payaslian's The History of Armenia is an excellent concise history of Armenia from the most ancient to the present Republic of Armenia. Payaslian reveals some historical items and events, which are not commonly found in Armenian history books. Payslian's language is precise and lucid. The History of Armenia is certainly a valuable addition to other Armenian history books.

This book does not only cover the histoty of the Armenia. Since Armenia was established long time ago, it's history is very much connected with Greeks, Persians, Romans, Byzantine, Otomans, Arabs...and more...by reading this book you'll see what was happing in the Asia Minor...during all these periods...since Aremnia was at the crossroad of the East and West...many battels and historical event happened there....anotherwords...by reading this book ..you'll get an diea what was going on in the word's first Empires....Pesinas, Greeks, Romans....on...and on..and on...great book....

I was interested in the history of Armenia. The only unfortunate part is that there are no maps. That would have been greatly appreciated.

You should be ashamed of yourself for providing a pervasive view of Armenian history and a very constricted one, I should say. You very well know or are ignorant of the fact that Armenian history is much older than what you indicated. Pathetic...
