Vyacheslav Ivanov (philologist) argues the complete fallacy of all the constructions of I. M. Dyakonov regarding the origin of the ethnonym "hay" and other issues of the Armenian ethnogenesis[1].
A modern major Armenian scholar from Cambridge University James Klaxon, a translator from Ancient Armenian and Ancient Greek, rejects the close genetic relationship of Greek and Armenian [2]
The Balkan hypothesis of the origin of the Armenian language is rejected by modern glottochronological studies conducted by Russell and Atkinson, the Armenian language appears on the territory of Anatolia and adjacent areas and has existed since 7300 BC. e. [3].
Recent DNA-research has led to renewed suggestions of a Caucasian homeland for a 'proto-proto-Indo-European'.[4][5][6][7][8] It also lends support to the Indo-Hittite hypothesis, according to which both proto-Anatolian and proto-Indo-European split-off from a common mother language "no later than the 4th millennium BCE."[9]
Haak et al. (2015) states that "the Armenian plateau hypothesis gains in plausibility" since the Yamnaya partly descended from a Near Eastern population, which resembles present-day Armenians. Yet, they also state that "the question of what languages were spoken by the 'Eastern European hunter-gatherers' and the southern, Armenian-like, ancestral population remains open."[4]
David Reich, in his 2018 publication Who We Are and How We Got Here, states that "the most likely location of the population that first spoke an Indo-European language was south of the Caucasus Mountains, perhaps in present-day Iran or Armenia, because ancient DNA from people who lived there matches what we would expect for a source population both for the Yamnaya and for ancient Anatolians."[5] Nevertheless, Reich also states that some, if not most, of the Indo-European languages were spread by the Yamnaya people.[10]
According to Kroonen et al. (2018), Damgaard et al. (2018) "show no indication of a large-scale intrusion of a steppe population."[11] They further note that the earliest attestation of Anatolian names, in the Armi state, must be dated to 3000-2400 BCE, contemporaneous with the Yamnaya culture, concluding that "a scenario in which the Anatolian Indo-European language was linguistically derived from Indo-European speakers originating in this culture can be rejected."[9] They further note that this lends support to the Indo-Hittite hypothesis, according to which both proto-Anatolian and proto-Indo-European split-off from a common mother language "no later than the 4th millennium BCE."[9]
Wang et al. (2018) note that the Caucasus served as a corridor for gene flow between the steppe and cultures south of the Caucasus during the Eneolithic and the Bronze Age, stating that this "opens up the possibility of a homeland of PIE south of the Caucasus."[12]
Kristian Kristiansen, in an interview with Der Spiegel in may 2018, stated that the Yamnaya culture may have had a predecessor at the Caucasus, where "proto-proto-Indo-European" was spoken.[8]

I wanted to add "Kurdistan" as a part of geographic description of Urartu's historic lands. It has been deleted twice with false allegations or without any reasoning. How can we solve this? Kurdistan and Urartu history/geography is intertwined and has to be mentioned together.

Just lol. Neither of those languages are near Urartu, even if we posit that Northeast Caucasian, Kartvelian, Hurro-Urartian and Northwest Caucasian all share some ancient common link.2600:4040:476C:8A00:4F3:DEAE:4193:3A8A (talk) 01:30, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
