B.C. , started to write a history themselves, and set their origins against Hayk whowas one of grandchildren of Hz. Nuh. After this,they called themselves ?Hayk?.Hayks which lived in the authority of Persian, Alexander, Sasanian, Rome andByzantium, especially after accepting the christianity, had been exposed to differenttortures. Because of differenses from the religious sect of Byzantium they had beenalways killed.Owing to the church which has been founded by Gregor Lusavoric, for Armenian,the highest spiritual position is The Catholicos of Etcmiadzin near Erivan. This churchhad been always kept as the most important thing by Armenians. Among the otherCatholicoses in Sis and Akdamar, Etchmiadzin has been seen as the holiest and the mosteffective church.The Catholicos of Etcmiadzin, from the begening of the century XVIII, wrote thehistory of Armenson, and wanted to provide Armenians with religious and nationalconscious.
