 History 
At the end of the second millennium BC, another Indo-European ethnic group, closely related to Thracians and Phrygians and referred to by the Greeks as Armens, migrated to the Armenian Highland from Northern Balkans.Ancient Armenia (3500 BC - 520 BC)

One theory suggests that the Armens were of Thracian origin, and related to the Phrygians.Armenia and the Armenians from the Earliest Times Until the Great War (1914) By Kevork Aslan, Pierre Crabitès - Page 15 The Armens were near the head waters of the Halys, to the west of the Euphrates.An inscription of Menousas reveals the existence of a people known as the Urmani or Armeni, living to the west of Ourartou. The Armens seemed to have mixed blood with another Asiatic element whose patronymic Hai, became in time their national designation. The country where the Armens settled were a mountainous region, traversed by deep valleys and smiling plains.

 Etymology
