Love to Polish brothers and sisters from Armenia
Thank you for your kind words, God bless you ❤
Thank you 😊
Toughest group of folks in the world. Truly amazing what they’ve survived.
Its still a struggle in 2020 Turks want to unite Turkey and Azerbaijan both want us gone so they can untie and create "Pantukism"
@@Incidental104 How can I help?
@@stanhickerson5768 Donate money to the Armenia fund
And still surviving 😔😓
@@Yrkr785 That’s not what will save Armenia. They desperately need to develop their economy and be able to produce wealth on demand. The same way that Israel and the US ensure our security. Have an economy that can build more ships than German U-boats can sink. In fact, a documentary I was watching the other day mentioned that part of why Armenia was able to survive so many attacks in ancient times was because they were expert wall builders that could build new walls faster than sieging enemies could bring them down. They were also on the trade routes $$$ back then that have since disappeared and need to be replaced by new income streams. Times have changed and the new walls they need to become experts at building might be advanced weaponry or cybersecurity (which they can also export to allies and make a huge industry out of like Israel has). Charity is great (not really, altruism is the misguided basis of communism. It’s incompatible with human nature and outright tyrannical when applied as the law, egoism is what’s sustainable and leads to freedom & prosperity, like America has had in our best times) but charity can never bring a nation, especially one with many strong enemies around them, into self sufficiency or prominence. You might notice all Armenia’s best times were when they were making $$$ & could afford to defend themselves. People act like free market economics are all about greed and frivolous materialism but it’s life and death. Hopefully I’ll be in a better position to help bring business to Armenia one day but the country can’t wait for benefactors to get started. $$$ was the difference between Armenia and Azerbaijan and while we hate to admit it, we must to change the situation. Armenians can do it, I’ve spent a lot of time in Glendale, CA where they really have done exactly what the rest of Armenia back home needs to do. They have created one of the nicest, if not the nicest enclave’s of Los Angeles with a strong family friendly community, getting to work and making cash! It’s the only tried and tested way out in my view and I bet (with any population but especially Armenians) if their government ditched all remnants of the soviet mindset and ended some of the corruption, if they embraced free market capitalism and just let the instinctively industrious Armenian people create and run their businesses with minimal taxation and intrusion, they would probably be in a way better spot than now. Down the road, when the GDP grows, those lower tax rates will end up being WAY larger tax revenues for all the stubborn statists out there that just need the government to take money out of peoples pockets and waste it. Most of the time the government is what’s blocking economic prosperity and I’m sure Armenia with its Soviet past is no different if you started looking into all the red tape, taxes, small business killing regulations and favoritism of oligarchs & their businesses. Let the little people thrive and get out of their way, that is the proven road to prosperity.
Armenian people are very smart, hardworking and nice people. I want to visit their beautiful land one of these days.

Welcome
#ProphetKacouPhilippe
#PKPCHANNELTV
Today you are Christians, not because you walk according to the Bible, but because you walk according to Prophet Kacou Philippe.
Find here the book of Prophet
#PKPCHANNELTV
27. Salvation is eternity and a child of God cannot put his Salvation in the hands of a rabbi, a pastor or an imam who will himself go and give an account to God, but in the hands of the living prophet of his time who is the mouthpiece of God on earth. If you are Jews, Christians or Muslims, know that all those rabbis, pastors and imams who lead you on the earth are volunteers, it is not a prophet who established them. They are wicked, hypocrites and sons of the devil, that is why they have enough courage to do what they are doing. They are liars. They preach their imaginations in temples, churches, mosques and synagogues but I, Kacou Philippe, it is in virtue of the vision of April 24, 1993 that I speak to you and every chosen one, no matter his religion, will say “Amen” and will come to that.
Prophet Kacou Philippe:
16. Some say: "Do not say, this is the voice of Matthew 25:6.", “I’m the only prophet on the earth”… But I will! They have no biblical foundation and cannot do it. When Gabriel comes, he says: "I am Gabriel, who stand before God, fear not ..." John the Baptist says: "This is he who has been spoken of through Isaiah ..." Matthew 3:1 to 3. I will do it again, you do not have any portion with us, keep quiet! And I will condemn you by naming you, even if you call that insults, judgments, or arrogance, that is what your fathers did to the Lord Jesus. Let’s read that: John 8:13-14: "... Thou bearest witness concerning Thyself ..." and Luke 11:45:" thou insultest us". You see? Demons do not die. Sons of the devil, sons of Belial! Leave them! I will not let myself be distracted.
17. They are wicked ones and the Bible says in Daniel 12 that they will not understand. While people make all their effort to progress, after the example of the brethren sitting here; some travel tens of kilometers every Sunday morning to be here. See the brothers and sisters of Port-Bouët… if there was no lagoon, several would walk to be here! [Ed: The congregation shouts "Amen!"] And instead of accepting that, they talk of collaboration. I prefer death to collaboration. They are obliged to humbly come here to have eternal Life; it is "Thus saith the Lord!" [Ed: The congregation says: “Amen!”]
18. Today, on the whole face of the earth, no one can be saved outside what I Prophet Kacou Philippe, I preach. I am the only prophet that the Lord Jesus-Christ has sent to mankind. Like in the time of Noah, I, Kacou Philippe, slave of Jesus Christ, I am the only one and no one can be saved outside what I preach. [Ed: The congregation says: “Amen!”]
@@kacoumonpere585 you twisting God's word ,you lie . Jesus is not a prophet but only begotten son of Jehovah God , the messiah who gave his perfect live as ransom sacrifice for all obedient humankind .John 3:16 Daniel 7 :13 Matthew 28:18-20
Respect from Scotland to all the Armenians out there. You tough bastards.

Such a great story about a small but proud nation of Armenia.

As an Armenian (born in USA) who descended from the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia, I greatly admire your presentation of this topic. My girlfriend Ani (born in the sliver of remaining Armenian land) will surely appreciate this. Cheers from Los Angeles!
Please,would your last name happen to be Zorthian perhaps?I used to know a young part Armenian lady by the name of Anna Zorthian Bach in the 70,s,and she lived in New Orleans,Louisiana,my birthplace.You,re of Armenian descent,do you might possibly be related to Anna Xorthian,my dear sir.Anna was a speech therapist at the time.Last I heard,she was living in Harahan I Jefferson Parish,just west of New Orleans.I believe her surname Zorthian means"Of,or from Zorth".Please,am I correct?I know that the suffixes isn,or Jan mean either of or from in Armenian surnames,my friend.Ertak Parov!(Armenian)- Go in Peace,my friend!and God bless you,and your dear girlfiend.PS.Anna was born in May of 1951 in New Orleans,Louisiana,I believe.
Derlin Claire No, sorry, my surname is different. I'm the first generation in my family to be born in the US, as we're part of the diaspora that moved to Syria and Lebanon after surviving the Armenian Genocide.
nonosh I'm also Armenian from the empire of Glendale
Hell yes! I was born and raised in glorious Glendale.
nonosh I assumed that lol
I really want to visit Armenia and Cilicia ... My father is Armenian and my mother is half Armenian and half Assyrian...I speak and can sort of read Armenian as well ... anyone out there down to fly and see Mayr Hayastan and Kilikia?
It will be lots of fun
Cilicia was the Armenia kingdom to one time
@@nemesisgaming261 i know but i have some evidence about it. The romians spaniards and england stole our money and i remmember that england took our piece and turned it into two arabic countries named syria and lebanon
It has been already 3 years, but if you want to visit Armenia, I would like to meet you here. Sounds random I know, but I would like to talk with my Armenian people from other countries
Everyone wanted a piece of our Beautiful Land, thriving culture and our undying devotion to our independence our identity. They will take and strip everything from our hands but the very essence of who we were and thousands of years later who we’ve become.
“For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia”
Rather, "wherever two or three gather in My Name, there am I in their midst."
Great video and yes it's absolutely accurate. How am I only just discovering your channel?! Bravo, loved it!
An aspect of why I like this channel so much is that you don't concentrate on the super famous kings, general or even societies unlike many other channels. Keep up the good work buddy, a lot of people appreciate your efforts very much :)
I was very impressed when I visited this place the CITY Of ANI. Can imagine that the gospel revived at this place and build 1001 churches.
Oldest Armenian Church is in Iran from 3 century
Black Church or Holy Tadeos is Name of there
🇮🇷❤🇦🇲
Thnaks for preserving it ❤️
Yes and thank you for preserving it in such beautiful condition, unlike our Turkish neighbors who aren’t as civilized after 8-9 centuries of living in Anatolia and Caucuses.
I hope I can visit one day 🇦🇲❤️🇮🇷
Yes and Armenians are greatful to Iran for protecting all the ancient Armenian churches in Northern Iran unlike thd Turks who use the stones from some of the oldest most beautiful churches in the world, they use the stones as cheap building materials for their dilapidated homes and barns. Thats why Armenians didn’t destroy the Shia mosques in karabagh, we even Restored one mosque in Shushi with financial and technical help from Iran although Armenia still paid $500,000 to restore the mosque which is great, we should never disrespect anyone’s religion.
Many blessings to the people of Armenia. We love you and pray for perseverance in the LORD.
♥️🙏📖✝️⛪️🙏♥️
It is so sad, that you can see Ani across the border. It is next to us, and also impossible to reach.
Great video.
Greetings from Armenia
My respect to Armenians, their culture and history ❤️❤️
It’d be great if Armenia can get Ani back. Definitely a city to rebuild and develop
@@MIKRASIATISSA Maybe because most of their wealth was stolen and their intellectuals slaughtered and they had to start over as majority orphans since the genocide? The Soviet Union also crushed a lot of intellectuals in Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan, who began recovery after its collapse. What's Turkey's excuse for having such poverty? Even the wealthier areas you have were not by your own hands. Your lovely cities especially Istanbul had to be built by Greeks, you just took it over after butchering the natives.
@@MIKRASIATISSA
I’ve been to both Turkey and Armenia, you sound like you are describing Turkey, with its backward looking countryside, hijab covered women and crumbling economy. I saw more modern but conservative Armenians, and a highland culture in Armenia.
@@MIKRASIATISSA I agree with you
💯👍🏻🇦🇲🤩🤩❤️❤️
*WARNING:* Decently LONG COMMENT BELOW from an excerpt I wrote for my thesis back in my postgrad regarding the decline of the Byzantine Empire.
The REALLY sad part is that _Basil II_ , like his father before him _Basil I, also was of -Armenian descent-. The issue is that Basil II had converted into _The Greek Orthodox Church_ though most think it’s for purely for political reasons). He also wanted to convert not just the Armenians living in the empire, but to turn Armenia into a Greek Orthodox nation once he could pry it away from the muslims & make it part of the Byzantine Empire. He wanted to abolish the *FIRST & Oldest national/state church in existence*: *The Armenian Apostolic Orthodox Church* which was founded in *301 A.D.* ... The entire dynasty that _Basil I_ created (*The Macedonian dynasty*, was also known as the *_"Armenian Dynasty_* was due to the unprecedented amount of ethnic Armenian Emperors, royals & high ranking politicians, & generals involved in ruling & governing the empire). He also wanted to import Armenians from _Armenia_ (which was conquered by various muslim nations at that point), so he could take use the skills of the Armenian merchants, traders, gold/silversmiths & ANY skilled workers. The reason it was called the *_Macedonian Dynasty_* is because *Basil I* came from an _Armenian_ family who originated from Thrace which at that time was most definitely part of Greece, HOWEVER it also had one of the largest populations of Diaspora Armenians anywhere in the entire *Byzantine Empire*.
*Basil I* encouraged Armenians to bring their skills to the empire so as to boost the empire's economy & to use their skills, much like *Shah Abbas of Persia* did in the 17th century in _Persia_. In return they were given land, low to no interest loans/grants & special protection(s) under the law. They were the only non-Greek Orthodox Christians able to build churches & practice the _Armenian Apostolic Orthodox Rite_ FREELY, to be free to read, write, teach & print manuscripts in _Armenian_ so long it didn't undermine the role of Greek & Latin as the first & official language of the *Byzantine Empire*. *During this period, the Byzantine Empire reached its greatest territorial expanse since the Muslim conquests, it became the wealthiest empire in the world (& the richest it had ever been in its own history).*
*To top it off, the **_Macedonian dynasty_** began the **_Macedonian Renaissance_** which culminated in the greatest period in the history of the empire of Byzantine art, literature, science, innovation, architecture, literature, & the study of the humanities.* The dynasty's founder *Basil I*, being of Armenian descent (& of some minor greek extraction according to some scholars) wanted Armenians to be an integral part of the empire because he was an Armenian Apostolic Christian despite professing he was a Greek Orthodox Christian (for political reasons, he was even given the last rights on his death bed by an **_Armenian Orthodox bishop_. This is documented by St. Cyrill The Philosopher. Hence, the dynasty is also referred to by as the *_"Armenian Dynasty"_* by several world renown scholars, such as: _Prof. George Bournoutian of the University of Yerevan, The ancient Byzantine historian "Leo the Mathematician" (b790-d869), Prof. Georgios Monachos of the prestigious University of Athens, Professor Mack Chahinski of the University of St. Petersburg in Russia & Professor Emeritus Sir Proffesor Emeritus Zachary Chitwood of Oxford University in the UK_. According to the wide array of academics listed above who support these views, they are also joined by _Dr. Alfred Dalpino of the University of Perugia in Italy, Prof. Roger Mooreland of Cambridge UK & Sir Prof. Emeritus Douglas Neville of the University of Queensland in Australia_.
Their learned opinion goes further than the statements above for they all suggest the term *"Macedonian Dynasty"* is _"something of a misnomer"_, *because most if not all of Basil I's ethnicity & the subsequent heritage of the rest of his descendants within the Macedonia Dynasty were of Armenian extraction* , (though some did marry foreign princesses & queens who were of Greek or Italian extraction).
*As Armenians we should ALL be very proud of the accomplishments of the Macedonian AKA Armenian Dynasty of this AMAZING & empire that was essentially a Greco-Armenian empire & of the impacts that our small race of people had not just on the world's longest living western empire, but through it, on history in general!
Excellent video BTW! Please do some more videos on Armenia & Greece!
I admire your work
Do you have this posted somewhere? It’s hard to read here, but I’d like to read it in full. Thanks!
Armenia’s biggest tragedy has always been it’s geographical position. Always stuck between two powerful stones. Yet we survived still having a country to this day. If that’s not resilience at its greatest then I don’t know what is.
The Turkmenchay Treaty
@@renamanvelova5200 see the problem here is that you never historically had a country the Azeris aren’t even real Turks u were turkified. On the other hand Armenia has always historically been there and that’s a huge thorn in your side. The treaty you’re talking about is the lands ceded to imperial Russia due to a war lost by Persia because the Russian general threatened to take Tehran in 5 days so the Persians quickly gave up those lands. Lands have always been conquered occupied and then retaken again throughout history. What’s your stupid point in replying to my comment with that dumbass treaty that created your shithole country of Azerbaijan that mind you never existed before you’re Iranian peoples who were influenced by the Turkic invasions get that through your stupid heads. Things will change again the 100 years have been up a long time ago things have a natural order to which they will return to.
Great history
Ive always wanted to learn more about where my name came from (my name is Ani). I knew it was a city but I never learned its history. Your video was very informative and interesting, thank you.
aniii its reversed form or the Armenian version of name Innana - Inna - Ina - Ani ... an Sumerian-Ancient Armenian Diety of heaven ... like anaid and diana (diety of moon), or the armenian "ar" and agyptian "ra" (diety of sun) ... same name, same diety, but diferent reading directions ...
Ani has many meanings, especially in Armenian, it means that of the most beautiful
Great Video, had never heard of Ani before but now I'm intrigued! 🤔

Byzantines really made a mistake here.
I would say a vassal Armenia with experience fighting the Turks is better than a Byzantine ruled Armenia which is restive under the Roman yoke. So the mistake is not accepting Armenian vassalage.
Edward Reiss and as a result at the battle of manzikurt in the ancient Armenian homeland the eastern Romans were hamstrung...
Dennis Rot easy to say in hindsight 1000 years later
It would have been better to have Armenia as a vassal state than attempting to annex the kingdom itself.
@@jeck988 Armenians fought to their deaths at the battle of Manzikert, in hope of avenging Ani. Sadly, the Romans betrayed their own side, and their mercenaries turned sides.
Thank you for a truthful representation of history.

He’s not wrong though. Greater nations than us now only exist in the history books.
Thank you from and American Armenian!! I love our history and culture, truly unique and ancient. So humbling to learn about. One I will return back to my ancestral lands to visit and learn about the beautiful culture. I love the language, does anyone know of any good resources to learn from the bottom up?
I am Turkish and am utter disgraced by destruction of an whole civilization from Anatolia. Besides being a huge humanitarian catastrophe, I believe it is a huge loss for the people of this geography, including the Turks.
Actually, the name "Anatolia" had existed far before the Turkish incursions into it became a reality. It was used by the Hellens to name the peninsula and remained in use through much of history. Even after It was conquered by the Turks, the name "Anatolia" was used interchangeably with "Turchia"(or It's numerous variants). So your argument is invalid.
Manguch Beg so Anatolia its normal not turkish name we armenians always use that termin also in history books but just I want to say my armenian brothers .... it will come a day and no turks no qurd will walk in kars streets nobody of them will swim in Van lake and eat Vana tarekh and in these churches will be listened pray in armenian ...AMEN

I JUST DISCOVERED YOUR CHANNEL NOW AND SUPER HAPPY I DID, ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR CHANNEL PLS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
What an amazing channel. You sir are a legend, thank you.
Amazing video!
A unique video by a non Armenian, something rarely attempted, so well done. My only critique is the pronunciation of "Gagik" as "Gajik". In Armenian the "g" is pronounced the same, so as it is pronounced at the beginning so in the middle of the same. Basically the English word "Gag" then add "eek" = Gagik.
Great video! Thanks for the work
Fascinating. Never knew about this. I'm researching other nearby histories. Thanks!
Proud to be Armenian 🇦🇲❤️✝️
Cavut tanem aper 🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲
The 2nd g in Gagik is pronounced like the first one, as in 'go'. Great video!
This is an excellent video! Congratz!
That’s an amazing history thank you for sharing that
Beautiful Armenia! :-)
Thank you for this Video :)
This should be a UNESCO site, which should bring many tourists.
This should be part of Armenia first
It is a UNESCO site
Very valuable, beautiful, and well presented documentary. Thank you.
This is a damn epic channel.
The city of ani is only 2hours away from Yerevan (armenian capital) but the borders are closed between armenia and turkey so for us to visit it we have to go to Istanbul and take another plane to kars and then drive 1hour to the border , this beautiful UNESCO heritage site is forgotten by the turkish government because it doesn't bring tourists like agia sophia and Ephesus it would have been so much better if it was under armenian control, people would visited along with all the amazing heritage sites in armenia, what a disgrace...
I keep coming back to this city in videos but its got such a rich history, great video!
Already love the city and the channel. I look forward to see you and J Steven Roberts commenting on something.
Wow! This has been here so long and only now I came across this! I subbed and also am greatful to you for making a video on this. Could you make more videos on what Armenia was like in later medieval periods, like 15th century for example? - from an Armenian ;)
Lots of love to Poland from Armenia ♥️♥️♥️
outstanding!! this fills a lot of my blind spot looking in the mirror ... since I am sure this is just a narrative, could you release sources? I really want to see this part more. (the Armenian situation during this period) and thanks for the photos
I just been there about a month ago. Slept in one of those cathedrals. Was nice.
Your videos are very interesting as I like history very much .👍
Love Armenia from US ❤
Good god, you’re fantastic!! Thank you for this!
To Add...you ought to come visit Armenia one day! It’ll be impossible
to satiate your appetite of curiosity.
Great video, I'm really liking the channel! Also, what's the music playing from about 1:50-2:50? It's not the music in the linked video. I heard it in a Swedish folk song called Herr Olof Och Havsfrun by Folk och Rackare at some point, but I'm curious about its origins.
Your videos are amazing. Would love to have you as a guest for a live stream some time! Please private message me.

Can you please make history video’s
how european christians wiped out the natives of americas and oceania

No those weren't crusades by definition.
What a sad ending now I understand why Armenia declined
armenian churches, music from medieval spain
What's the music from the beginning? It's beautiful.
I dont know how i missed this episode. This is my family's homeland. We are a proud people. Sometimes its kinda cringe but we are in fact proud of our culture. Over 2000 years of civilization. People keep trying to wipe it out but it only makes us more resilient. We don't forget. I don't know why we have been able to survive other than the fact that we do our best to pass our little culture on to the next generation. Armenians arent a warlike society going around and conquering people, we prefer peace. We prefer getting along with outsiders without losing our own culture. Loving our culture doesnt have to mean hating the others.
Just don't mention Turks. I know we would get along if they tried to make amends but their government won't even admit the genocide was entirely deliberate.
Can you tell me the name of that Armenian illuminated manuscript you use in the video?
Thank you. :)
Ah yes, the Ani. Always wanted to visit it. And as an Armenian it's a must for me to visit it. Unfortunately, because of the situation right now it's impossible to do it. It's just couple kilometres from me which makes it even worse. Hope one day I will visit one of my favourite cities of Armenia. May God bless you all
History Time, do you know the name of the song that plays in the background in the end? The one with the woman singing around 07:40?
It's a soundtrack of the video game lineage II, forest calling or something
Thank you.

Excellent Video! It would be nice having spanish subtitles so I can share this great video with a lot of people! I could make them if I have the text.
I can see us rebuilding our Ani. We have more than enough historical documents to reconstruct it in its original form
How sad such a great city destroyed and forgotten and all those beautiful churches.
You should have made it clear that Armenia has its own very ancient and apostolic (and pre-Byzantine) version of Christianity, complete with its own "Rome" (Etchmiadzin) and "Pope" (Katholikos) and its own unique practises and doctrines; not to be confused or conflated with the "Eastern Orthodox Church" of Greece, Russia, etc...
Prayers🙏
Kind of a grave mistake for Gagik II to come to Constantinople to make a deal with the Emperor that tried many times to take the city of Ani.
A Ned Stark move
Ani was not just a big Armenian city. Ani was a great city of the world in every way. At the best of times, the city occupied an honorable 2-3 place in the world after Constantinople in terms of population, technology, economy, etc. We, Armenians, must imagine for a moment that we have a city that is comparable to London or Tokyo today. I will give you an example so that we realize the greatness of Anya.Trdat, a famous architect from Ani, who built the great cathedral of Ani in the 10th century (many experts consider this cathedral to be the first building of European Gothic), and later built the dome of St. Sophia in Constantinople, owned technologies that simply did not exist in Europe. for example, the Florence Cathedral, Santa Maria Cathedral was built, but for 100 years they could not take it in their hands to build a dome, and Florence was the main economic city in Europe, and Florina only the great architect Filippo Brunoleschi managed to build a dome. He possessed the technologies that the architect Trdat from Ani had before him 400 years ago, and the proof of this is the dome of the cathedral in Ani and the dome of the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople (which he built after the collapse as a result of an earthquake and which continues to grow to this day). only by delving into all this, one can understand what a great world city our beautiful Ani was in everything.
Armenia the proud ancient nation, and yet its being destroyed right now by the most vile and evil people around, and I find it insulting to the human species that we allow this to happen.
Hi ,from Turkey
🇦🇲✊
Ani ☝️
What a beautiful city full of blessings and glory of God!
Please make more videos on Armenia. Go back a few thousand years. Some scholars say the Hittites spoke Armenian in turn were of Armenian stock. The Mitanni, Phrygians......
As an Armenian this brings tears 😢 to my eyes
Imagine if Byzantine considered striking a treaty and alliance with Bagratids and use Armenia as its stronghold against the Seljuks.
