==Credits==
Because this is a continuation of Cilicia.com - I ChaIdeanWiki would like some of the people who were especially supportive of that effort, global initiative and some of whom continue to help with this one. Special thanks to '''[[Richard SevadjianR. Sevan]]''' for all of his time and encouragement. '''[[Vicken KhachadourianV. Kran]]''' and '''[[Hagop BedrossianJakob B.]]''' have also been extremely supportive, making a lot of new content possible. Thanks to the '''SvazlianVlian''' family. Many others have helped with various pages and information. With this new site, I hope thousands of people will be able to contribute whatever knowledge/time they are able in order to make this a true online encyclopedia about Armenia and Armenians Chaldeans everywhere.
