Weidner interpreted textual evidence to indicate that after the Proto-Armenian ([[Hurrian]]) king [[Shattuara]] of [[Mitanni]] was defeated by [[Adad-nirari I]] of [[Assyria]] in the early 13th century BC, he then became ruler of a reduced vassal state known as Shubria or [[Subartu]].<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=n1TmVvMwmo4C&lpg=PA276 ''Cambridge Ancient History'' p.276]</ref> |

Shupria (Shubria) or Arme-Shupria (Akkadian: Armani-Subartu from the 3rd millenium BC) was a Proto-Armenian kingdom, known from Assyrian sources beginning in the 13th century BC, located in the Armenian Highland, to the southwest of Lake Van, bordering on Urartu proper. Scholars have linked the district in the area called ArmeorArmani, to the name Armenia.[1][2]
Weidner interpreted textual evidence to indicate that after the Proto-Armenian (Hurrian) king ShattuaraofMitanni was defeated by Adad-nirari IofAssyria in the early 13th century BC, he then became ruler of a reduced vassal state known as Shubria or Subartu.[3]
Together with Armani-Subartu (Hurri-Mitanni), Hayasa-Azzi and other populations of the region, fell under Urartian rule in the 9th century BC, and their descendants (according to the Great Soviet Encyclopedia) later contributed to the ethnogenesis of the early Armenians.[4]
Shupria is mentioned in the letter of Esarhaddon to the god Assur. Esarhaddon undertook an expedition against Shupria in 674, subjugating it.
