Since the fall of the Soviet Union, Armenians have produced more Nobel Prize winners than any other former Soviet nation.
Armenians: 2 (Patapoutian, Acemoglu)

This is just an interesting detail. This has nothing to do with putting others down, just an interesting detail that speaks to the scientific potential of our people.
The above list considers only ethnic background and excludes Nobel Prize winners in non-scientific fields, such as Literature and Peace.
