“Among the good deeds which the Armenian people have done towards the church and the Christian world, it should especially be stressed that, in those times when the Christian princes and the warriors went to retake the Holy Land, no people or nation, with the same enthusiasm, joy, and faith came to their aid as the Armenians did, who supplied the Crusaders with horses, provision, and guidance. The Armenians assisted these warriors with their utter courage and loyalty during the Holy wars.”
