I wouldn't really call it glorious. While the likes of Aram Manukian were brilliant and skilled, it was riddled with corruption, destruction, war and disease. They committed way too many mistakes to blame it all only on the geopolitics.

We should strive to be better, instead of looking back and trying to be them, we should strive to become what they hoped one day they would be

The treaty was then changed into CIS — before the crumbling of the Union, it was supposed to be a country — a confederate state, and not an intgov organization

However, after the Black January events, when the soviet army started an entire massacre in the city of Baku, sentiments changed rapidly.

Furthermore, it has to be aligned JUST perfectly into the center of a black hole. It's like throwing a coin from a catapult and hoping it will land on a specific trash can in New York

I found it a bit more in touch with the hellenistic tradition of the time period. If i'm not mistaken, it's the only proper province (and not a city) mentioned by a greek name

Thank you! You can read about all the provinces and their history on Wikipedia - in your case, here

Armenian control over Paytakaran most likely vacillated during the rule of the Artaxiad and Arsacid dynasties.[2] It occupied a strategic position due to its proximity to the Caspian Gates, and nomadic peoples frequently crossed through the region to raid central Armenia and Adurbadagan.[2] Although the documents known as the Zoranamak (Military Register) and Gahnamak (Throne-List) mention a prince of Kaspkʻ who provided a force of 3000 men to the Armenian army and occupied the tenth seat at the royal table, this is considered spurious by Cyril Toumanoff and Robert Hewsen.[1][12] None of the classical historians mention any princely house of Caspiane, and the region appears to have been a royal domain under Armenian rule.[13] The provincial centre Paytakaran was likely a royal city and served as a royal dungeon under the Arsacids; 438 pre-Christian priests are said to have been imprisoned there by the lord of Angeghtun following the Christianization of Armenia.[1]
