people - there are difference in between 'armenian society' & 'armenian nation'!! Almost any nation that lives in place of previos nation retains many same characteristics and traditions. and because of that the society can be the same or be similar to the predecessor, but nation or poeple absolutely different. Dyakonov and others always clearly distinguished between Urartu tribes and people, and between the Armenains. in fact, he and others always used 'proto-Armenians' instead of simply armenians, which distances Armenians even more from ancient Bianlini people. even modern Avars are more like ancient Avars and Huns than Armenians like Urarteans. Armenains ancient people - don't need inventions.
