Abstract
Arminiya constituted a part of the Arab Caliphate, which was decentralized in the mid-9th century. The state of Arminiya, which included Armenian, Georgian and Aghvan lands, started taking shape as a super-state with a total area of 236,748 Sq.km.
The author contests that this super-state was an Armenian Empire as it had brought forth imperial political space. As of 886 this Armenian Empire included the kingdom of the the Bagratids of Mets Hayk, the princedoms of the Bagratids, Artsrunis, and Sunis as well as the Arab Emirates and city emirates of the Zurarigs, Kaysiks, and Usmaniks. Itt included as well the kingdoms and principalities of Kartli and Aghvank and the mountainous princedom f Kakheti Tsanars. The core of this Empire was the Bagratid kingdom in Armenia.
In fact, during the last years of Arminiya, the suzerainty of the Armenian Bagratid princes spread over all the Armenian, Georgian and Aghvan principalities and Arab emirates. The authority of the Armenian kings of this Empire was de jure recognized by the two superpower states of the time, the Arab Caliphate and the byzantine Empire. Its suzerainty was also recognized by the powerful rulers of the Abkhaz kingdom in Western Caucasia.
