 | | In AD 301, Armenia became the first state to adopt Christianity as its official state religion, twelve years before the Roman Empire granted Christianity official toleration under Galerius, and some 30-40 years before Constantine was baptised. | | | However, international observers have questioned the fairness of Armenia's parliamentary and presidential elections and constitutional referenda since 1995, citing polling deficiencies, lack of cooperation by the electoral commission, and poor maintenance of electoral lists and polling places. | | | There had been various pagan communities before Christianity, but they were converted by an influx of Christian missionaries. |

| | Armenia and Georgia, Culmen Europae |
| | After Nicephorus II Phocas recovered the area from the Arabs in 965 and ordered all Moslems to leave, Christians from Syria and Armenia were encouraged to settle and garrison the area. | | | Deep Roman influence is evident in the fact that Armenia converted to Christianity in 301 AD, more than a decade before Christianity had any official toleration or status in Romania itself. | | | As Romania recovered against Islâm and her other enemies, Armenia recovered also and freed herself, to enjoy nearly two centuries of independence. |

| | But Pompey, the successor of Lucullus, when he had overthrown Mithridates, allowed Tigranes to reign in Armenia and expelled Antiochus from the government of Syria, although he had done the Romans no wrong. | | | The Parthians, who had previously revolted from the rule of the Seleucids, seized Mesopotamia, which had been subject to that house. | | | Pius, entered Syria clandestinely and assumed the government with the consent of the people. |

| | Tigranes was beaten at Tigranocerta on the 6th of October 69, and again near Artaxata in September 68. | | | Pompey now changed his policy; he received the old Tigranes graciously and gave him back his diadem, while he treated the son very coolly and soon made him prisoner. | | | Armenia had by the conquests of Alexander the Great become a province of the Macedonian Empire; but it was never thoroughly subjected to the foreign rule. |

| | Pompey's Eastern Settlement |
| | The reason that it would be a good buffer state is there was bitter hatred between Tigranes and Phraates, so it would be unlikely that the two would get together and fight against Rome. | | | Tigranes’s son, Tigranes gained the lesser kingdom of Sophene and the promise of the Armenian crown when his father died, but his refusal to allow Pompey free access to the treasure stores of his new kingdoms lost him the throne and landed him in prison. | | | After this Phraates, who was his father in law, asked for his freedom - but was refused and as a result in Pompey& triumph he was publicly humiliated and disposed of. |
