Hi Hetoum. Of course Armenians and Georgians are very much connected culturally and historically. Tao/Tayk as well as the Armeno-Georgian marchlands in the east (Gogarene) is perhaps the best example. Not only the two peoples frequently allied to counter the Muslim expansion, but cultural influences moved permanently in both directions. Their ruling families intermarried frequently. Many Armenian nobles who had taken refuge in the possessions of the Georgian Bagratids (Bagrationi) were given high offices and played an important role in the region. However, when the Georgian political dominance was established in Tao-Klarjeti with the rise of the Bagrationi in the early 8th century, Georgian culture also became dominant aided by the presence of a large Chalcedonic Armenian community. Many of them, over time, adhered not only to the Georgian version of Christianity, but also to the Georgian culture in general. That’s why the local Armenians were generally referred to by the Byzantines as Iberians, i.e., Georgians. Interestingly, non-Chalcedonic Georgians in Gogarene were known to their Chalcedonic kins as Somekhni or Somkhitarni, i.e., Armenians. Best wishes, Kober 09:17, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sure

I still have my Soviet encylopedic volume and my grandfather was in the Sassuntsi Davit tank division and heard and knows some stories about them. I'll be happy to add some info on them. --MarshallBagramyan 01:21, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There's numerous other divisions made up of Armenian soldiers during the war. I looked up the Soviet Encylopedia and found several pages detailing the feats of the units but didn't arrive to the part talking about the Tumanyan Division. My grandfather heard several stories about them and I'll ask him more about them.

Was your grandfather a foot soldier, a member of the Guards perhaps? Mine commanded a T-34 tank during the war. --MarshallBagramyan 07:00, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikiproject: Armenia

Hakob and I, decided to make a Wikiproject for Armenia. We hope that you and other Armenian wikipedia editors, will take the time to expand Armenian related articles and create new articles on topics currently without one. Please feel free to share your thoughts on the project and have fun! Here is the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Armenia --Moosh88 01:09, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The {{sockpuppet}} tags

The reason why I placed multiple {{sockpuppet}} tags on your user page is because I have reason to suggest that you are editing form those IPs without logging in. Please log in when you edit; that way, you can be responsible for the edits that you make. If you would otherwise feel uncomfortable being known for having made those edits, then perhaps you shouldn't make those edits, a number of which may be considered vandalism, from what I see. Please reconsider your pattern of behavior. I apologize if I'm off the wall on this. If you believe that I am in error on this, I can file a CheckUser request to see if you indeed edited from those IPs. --Nlu (talk) 15:44, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
