It truly was a joy forcing parhad to admit he knew nothing about Armenian history. He demonstrated absolute ignorance when he couldn’t name the army nor the church which supposedly forced Armenia to adopt Christianity.

All this while he continued the baseless mantra “Armenians murdered into Christ” propaganda.

Historical Fact: The conversion of Armenia in 301 AD, is credited in part to the teachings of Gregory the Illuminator. Gregory, of Parthian stock, lived during the years 257-337 AD while Diocletian, emperor of Rome and Tiridates, King of Armenia and Ardashir I, founder of the Sassanid Dynasty of Persia, all persecuted Christians in their respective kingdoms.

Historical Fact: Christians in Armenia existed even before Gregory, such as Gayane and Hripsime. Armenian history credits the knowledge of individual Christians to the teachings Bartholomew, Thaddeus and Mari the apostles.

Historical Fact: This was well before C., Flavius Valerius Constantinus AKA Constantine, emperor of Rome, gave freedom of worship and equal rights to all religious groups including Christians in 313 AD.

Historical Fact: Every empire in the region persecuted Christians while Armenians were turning to Christ during the first and second centuries AD.

Historical Fact: During the years until 313 AD (when Rome officially recognized Christianity) there lacked any group, nation or kingdom capable of forcing anyone to become Christian. Christianity was comprised only of individuals and their families, mostly Jews, Mesopotamians and Greeks.

Historical Fact: What parhad is suggesting was historically impossible since the army (i.e. Rome) or militant church (i.e. Roman Catholics) he so dearly needs to make his fable come true did not exist at the time!
