The original Armenian homeland encompassed a highland region including modern Armenia and adjacent areas of Azerbaijan and Iran, as well as much of eastern Turkey. Armenians are one of the oldest Christian peoples. Traditional subsistence depended on cereal agriculture and dairying. For much of the nineteenth century, the Armenian people were stateless as their country was divided between the Russian and the Ottoman empires. In 1915, systematic removal and genocide in the Ottoman west forced most Armenians to flee. Contemporary Armenian culture and society is greatly influenced by collective memory of this event, together with over seventy years of communist rule as part of the former Soviet Union.
