2. I believe that refers to the pre-USSR country called Armenia...
but I could be wrong. While part of the USSR, Armenia was part of a larger socialist state that included Armenia and its neighbors that were under Soviet rule. So, there technically wasn't an independent Armenian country then. Old Armenia, then, would be the last time there was an actual nation-state by that name (between WWI and WWII).
