- "I'm going to need three more chalks queued up at the border."
"And a fourth standing by in Armenia?" - ―Victoria Hand and Phil Coulson[src]
Armenia, officially the Republic of Armenia, is a country crossroads of Western Asia and Eastern Europe. Formerly known as the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic, it was part of the Soviet Union from 1922 until its dissolution in December 1991.
History[]
Armenian Genocide[]
During World War I, Armenia was targeted by the Ottoman Empire, which spearheaded the systematic destruction of Armenian people and identity. From 1915 to 1917, the two millennia of Armenian civilization was destroyed, which was recognized as a genocide.[1]
Overkill Device[]
Phil Coulson suggested stationing a team in Armenia as backup during Leo Fitz and Grant Ward's mission to disable the Overkill Device in South Ossetia. Victoria Hand, being in charge of the operation, had already envisioned that situation, noting that she and Coulson had a similar way of thinking.[2]
