by Atanas Stamatov
 
•  Armenia in Late Antiquity - Movses Horenaci and his “History of Armenia”
•  The Bulgar migration to Armenia: evidence in the toponymy
•  Early mentionings of “Vanand” in the Armenian sources
•  The historian Egishe
•  Favstos Buzand - the historiographer of the Mamikojans
•  More early evidence: Revelationes S. Methodii, “Ashkharacuic”, Eusebius of Caesarea, “Tabula Peutigeriana”
•  The dynasty of the Bagratides and the Jewish connection
•  The flaws in Horenaci's “Histories”
•  From Artaksius II Arshak (33-20 BC) to Arshak (35-41 AD) - the most probable time of the migration
