Why is the city of Armenia in Colombia so named?
Upvote:-2
According to wiki, another massacre of Armenians happened in Turkey during and before the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878. Maybe, the town was named in the honour of that massacre, and afterwards, when greater Hamidian massacres happened, they eclipsed the earlier and less bloody actions and people started to repeat that Hamidian massacres were the reason of naming?
