Same question for Italian and Armenian etc If Blaise was born in the 3rd century in Roman Cappadocia he would have lived in a Greek speaking environment It turns out that Sebaste became part of the Armeniac Theme in the 7th century but this is centuries later and provides about as much motivation for treating Blaise as Armenian as for treating him as Turkish His Acts are in Greek Perhaps there is some evidence of a particularly early tradition of veneration in the Armenian church but if there is the article as it stands is unaware of it
