The satrapy of Armenia, after Urartu, its such an important time of Armenia, and jumping immediately to Kingdom of Armenia is not fair AlfredYeranossian (talk) 00:56, 30 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: it’s not clear what changes you want made. Please detail the specific changes in a “change X to Y” format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. IsCat (talk) 14:59, 30 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Important: Please change the name shown to Second Republic of Armenia. ~2026-10913-5 (talk) 10:38, 6 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

This is not the official name, and “Second Republic of Armenia” is sometimes unofficially used to refer to the Armenian SSR. Mellk (talk) 11:09, 6 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Again making another request, I didn’t receive a response before.

I noticed that the Economy heading is lacking a Tourism section. We should include a brief overview taken from the main ‘Tourism in Armenia’ article, then link the main article as well.
Under Culture, I think there should also be a brief section for Heritage Sites, since Armenia has 4 UNESCO World heritage sites. We can take a brief overview from the main article and link the ‘List of World Heritage Sites in Armenia’, and also add a See Also: ‘Urartu’.

Hi. A few things:

• First, please don’t make the same request twice. Everyone here is a volunteer. Someone who comes across a suggestion such as yours and is interested and has the relevant background and time may take up such suggestions as they get to it.
• Second, “edit request” has a specific meaning here, explained at WP:Edit requests. Your headings are misleading because they imply that formal edit requests are coming, with the required template, but what you’re writing under the headings aren’t edit requests.
• Third, are you interested in writing the text yourself? You don’t have to be able to edit the article yourself to contribute to it. (That’s the point of edit requests.) Compose the content in your user space somewhere, or offline, wherever you’d like. When you’re ready, come to this talk page and make a proper edit request, which will include your suggested content and instructions as to where you would put it if you were able to make the edit yourself (which is what edit requests are for!). Be sure to include references to reliable sources.

“While Armenia is geographically located in the South Caucasus, it views itself as part of Europe and is generally considered geopolitically European.” – This sentence is an oversimplification. Armenia is a member of numerous Eurasian and Asian organisations such as the Asian development bank and Eurasian economic union. To claim Armenia views itself as European, geopolitically European, is a gross simplification. It is unclear who views themselves this way – the government or the people? There should be more nuance to this or the line should be removed entirely. ~2026-63754-3 (talk) 15:31, 29 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

This is cited to the CIA World Factbook. Perhaps you can provide a source that says otherwise? Mellk (talk) 15:36, 29 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Published sources that contradict or qualify the idea that Armenia is unambiguously geopolitically European:

“Armenia’s aspiration to join the European Union and its membership in the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) are incompatible.” – Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson, referring to Armenia’s EAEU membership.

Armenia’s relations with the EU are based on the Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement (CEPA) and the initiation of an accession process (which is separate from full EU membership).

“Since 1991, the main partner and the sole strategic ally of Armenia has been Russia. In contacts with other power centres – the EU, NATO, and the United States – Armenia will try to develop its relations, but there are red lines that it is not ready to cross.

“The Republic of Armenia is a member of ADB since 2005, after the “Founding Agreement of the Asian Development Bank” was ratified by the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia on May 24, 2005. The 2019-2023 Country partnership strategy aims to support Armenia’s inclusive growth through development of infrastructures and human capital, as well as the regional cooperation programs.”

In earlier years (around 2013), a majority of Armenians thought Eurasian and European integration could be combined, and approximately 70% would prefer Eurasian integration over European integration if they could not be combined. This was part of the basis for Armenia’s decision to join the Russia‑led Eurasian Economic Union. Source- Armenpress, 10 January 2025. ~2026-63754-3 (talk) 03:18, 31 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Russian anti-West propaganda isn’t the best source of reliable information. In addition, membership in the EEU isn’t inconsistent with being in Europe—note the Eurasian part of its name. “Eurasian” isn’t a synonym for “Asian”.

I’m not sure that showing that Armenia also has some relations with Asian nations undermines a statement about it generally considering itself European. “Generally” and “unambiguously”, like “Eurasian” and “Asian”, aren’t synonyms. Perhaps that’s the nuance you’re looking for? Largoplazo (talk) 03:52, 31 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
