Arme-Shupria people

The Arme-Shupria people were local people who lived in the area at the time of the arrival of the Indo-European tribes (the people of King Arame). The invading Indo-Europeans called themselves the Hayatsa people and came in time to dominate the Armenian highland and assimilate the Arme-Shuprias.

According to De Morgan: “These newly settled Armenians would live with an imperturbable will in their newly conquered country for centuries and defend it with their inborn courage, language and their customs up until the present day, while almost every other people, whom the Armenians came to make acquaintance with during their childhood, disappeared slowly in history.” [Jacques de Morgan, Histoire du Peuple arménien, Paris, 1919, p. 49]
