And how does believing in Christ and being the first country in the world to accept to christianity make the whole nation just "kinda-sorta" Christian?
Isn’t the Armenian church like the oldest Christian church? Why wouldn’t they be called Christian?
Every other Church (including Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox such as Greek, Russian, Serbian, Georgian etc., all mainline Protestant Churches etc.), believes that Jesus Christ exists in two distinct natures - divine and human - fully joined in one person or "hypostasis". Armenians believe that the divine and human natures are united in a single, composite nature within the one person of Jesus.
It is a Christological difference as big as possible while still staying "Christian" (one step of division further lies the Aryanism, which is already "certainly not Christianity"). Initially several Churches separated after the ill-fated attempt of reunification with so-called "Henoticon", but all others except the Armenian, either folded back, or simply became a tiny minority in their now-mostly Muslim countries. Armenia is the only Christian-majority country in the world that is still that way.
Think of it: dozens of wars and a millennium of mutual schism and hate happened between Catholics and Orthodox since the Great Schism of 1054. It happened over a difference much, much smaller than that.
This is why in fact Georgians and Armenians hate each other so much. They are the only two Christian nations in the world who are on different sides of the Chalcedonian divide and border each other.
This is also a reason why in Israel, Armenian population is bundled with Arabs, not with Christians, for statistical purposes. Because most people of their faith worldwide are indeed, Arabs.
Armenians are virtually in every country. So being a small minority in Israel being held against them is the reason you consider them not Christian?
And why does this even matter? > This is also a reason why in Israel, Armenian population is bundled with Arabs, not with Christians, for statistical purposes.
Maybe you should read the context behind that and why? Also, since when being a Christian is tied to being a member of a group, treaty, agreement, or organization? It's not. This is not a valid reason to dismiss an entire country or a whole group of people.
You miss a simple fact, that the Armenian church is Apostolic Orthodox church, not Roman Catholic, and not Eastern Orthodox, and not any other church. They stuck to the original basic teachings of Jesus. Saint Bartholomew, along with Saint Thaddeus brought Christianity to Armenia and are considered the patron saints of the Armenian church.
If they are not Christian, what are they? It's a strange argument you are making here.
Armenia is the first Christian nation in history. Have you visited Armenia? The entire country is literally a large Christian display. Churches, Monasteries, and cross stones everywhere. The entire country goes to church on Sunday before doing anything else.
The Armenian alphabet was designed specifically to translate the Bible. The Armenian food mostly is about the Christian lifestyle. When Armenian women make the famous Lavash bread, when they are shaping the dough, the carve a cross in the dough before spreading it thin, for example.
The entire Armenian lifestyle is built around Christianity. So saying they are not Christian, is not based on any fact, or reality.
By your argument, no Christian today is Christian, and no Protestant church is Christian.
From your other comment. "It's weird but Armenians are not considered "white" by Europeans (or fellow Soviets). "
Armenians are not soviets. The country was taken under the Soviet Russia rule after World War I, does not make them Russians or Soviets.
"Georgians and Armenians hate each other so much" You are referring to in centuries old war that no longer exist today.
Armenians are virtually in every country. So being a small minority in Israel being held against them is the reason you consider them not Christian?
