I'M OF ARMENIAN ORIGIN, WITH LEBANESE NATIONALITY.YOU CAN SAY JUST LIKE ALAIN BOGHOSSIAN WHO PLAYS FOR PARMA IN ITALY.HE IS OF ARMENIAN ORIGIN WITH FRENCH NATIONALITY.THE CASE IS THE SAME FOR YOURI DJORKAEFF, ALTHOUGH MOST OF THE ARMENIAN FAMILY NAMES END WITH AN -IAN-.    YOU MOST PROBABLY RECALL THAT ARMENIA WAS IN GROUP 9 ALONG WITH GERMANY DURING THE QUALIFYING GAMES OF THE WORLD CUP 1998.BY THE WAY, ARMENIA TEMPORARILY TOP THEIR GROUP AHEAD OF UKRAINE IN THE QUALIFYING GAMES FOR EURO 2000,AFTER BEATING THE MODEST ANDORRA TEAM BY 3-1 IN YEREVAN.IF ARMENIA FINISHES 4TH IN THEIR GROUP,AHEAD OF ANDORRA AND ICELAND, THEN IT WILL BE A GOOD ACHIEVEMENT. BY THE WAY, ARMEN IN ARMENIAN MEANS STRONG MAN.    TALKING ABOUT THE LEBANESE TEAM, YOU'RE RIGHT.IT WILL PLAY MATCHES AGAINST ALGERIA AND SAUDI ARABIA.   *refers to the final tournament of the Arab Cup in late September /beginning of October.
