[edit] Armenisti

I removed the village of 'Armenisti' in Chalcidice from the 1st section. To my knowledge, the name of the village comes from the Greek verb 'αρμενίζω', which means 'to sail', 'to navigate the sea'. I do not know if the verb itself derives from the ethnonym 'Armenian', but i find it very possible. However, since the village is in the shores of the 2nd foot of the peninsula, its name was given to it for for its connection to the sea, not for the presence of an Armenian community there. I may be wrong, as always; if someone knows better, may correct me. Hectorian 23:57, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
