So Armenia really prides themselves on being the first Christian nation and what they mean by that is that their government was the first to nationally adopt Christianity as a national religion and that happened in 301 AD.

They were conquered by the Ottoman Turks about 100 years ago and we know that that was part of the Armenian Genocide when their most skilled, their most talented, smartest people were taken by the Turks and executed and that's, they still remember that today and they commemorate that every April 24th and remember their ancestors and those who died in that tragic event.
