Armenia is formable country located in southern Caucasia. It does not exist at the 1444 start.

Reformation[edit | edit source]

Armenia may be formed by a country with Armenian culture. The only existing country with Armenian culture in the 1444 start is Karabakh, which begins as a vassal of Qara Qoyunlu. Aq Qoyunlu can form this nation quite easily by culture switching and taking the required provinces before the Ottomans take them.

Kingdom of Armenia

The Kingdom of Armenia once dominated the Caucasus. Time was not kind to our ancestors, however, and neighboring empires saw weakness in our internal divisions and used it to conquer our people. Let us drive out these invaders and re-establish the Kingdom and Church of Armenia.
