Zakaridska Armenija

Zakaridska Armenija, arm. Զաքարյան Հայաստան Zakaryan Hayastan, bila je armenska kneževina između 1161. i 1360. godine pod vlašću Zakaridske dinastije. Glavni grad kneževine bio je grad Ani. Zakaridi su bili vazali Bagrationske dinastije Kraljevine Gruzije, ali su često djelovali neovisno i u to vrijeme su se titulirali nazivom kraljeva.^[2]^[3] Godine 1236. postali su vazali Mongolskog Carstva. Njihovi potomci i dalje drže Ani do 1330.-ih, kada ga gube sukcesijom turskih dinastija, pada pod kontrolu Kara Koyunlua i postaje njegovim glavnim gradom.

The numerous Zak'arid inscriptions leave no doubt that they considered themselves Armenians, and they often acted independently.
↑ Eastmond, Antony. 2017. Tamta's World. Cambridge University Press. str. 26. In one inscription on the palace church on the citadel of Ani, the brothers' principal city and the former capital of Armenia, they refer to themselves as 'the kings of Ani', suggesting loftier ambitions, independent of Georgia, and in the inscription at Haghartsin quoted in the first chapter, they claimed descent from the Bagratunis, the Armenian kings of the region until the eleventh century.
