Why Armenia is not popular in the same way that Greece is?

[gregorius]

Ok, forgot about System of Dawn. But besides that are there other famous Armenians?

Kasparov is not Armenian. Even his name gives it away. He is Jewish/Russian born in Armenia.

Kasparov is half armenian half Jewish. Kaspar is a very common name among Armenians.

Kasparov was born Garik Kimovich Weinstein (Russian: Гарик Вайнштейн) in Baku, Soviet Union (now Azerbaijan). His father, Kim Moiseyevich Weinstein, was Russian Jewish, and his mother, Klara Shagenovna, was Armenian.[7][8][9][10] Kasparov has described himself as a "self-appointed Christian", although "very indifferent".[11]

Kasparov is half armenian half Jewish. Kaspar is a very common name among Armenians.

That's correct: Gary Kasparov is an Armenian Jew. While Kasparov is paternally of Russian Jewish descent, he is maternally of Armenian descent. He declined to use his father's name; instead, he adopted his maternal name, Kasparov, derived from Kasparian.

Kasparov is considered to be one of the finest chess players of all times. Though deeply involved in Russian Politics, his political career has been greatly overshadowed by his dominant role as a chess powerhouse.
