The Armenian Origin of the Etruscans shows a link between the Armenians and the Etruscans.
Some scholars also see in Urartean art, architecture, language and general culture traces of kinship to the Etruscans of the Italian peninsula.[1]
Dr. Bugge, a learned Norwegian, had made a suggestion presented a while ago by the late Dr. Robert Ellis of London, that the Etruscan was an Armenian dialect. [2]
