Melik
Мelik (also transliterated as Meliq) (Armenian: Մելիք melikʿ, Georgian: მელიქი meliki (prince), from Arabic: ملك malik (king)) was a hereditary Armenian noble title, in various Eastern Armenian principalities known as melikdoms encompassing modern Yerevan, Kars, Nakhichevan, Sevan, Lori, Artsakh, Tabriz and Syunik starting from the Late Middle Ages until the end of the nineteenth century. After the invasions of the Seljuk Turks, Persians and Mongols, these families saw themselves as holding onto the last bastion of Armenian independence in the region.
The realm of the meliks was almost always semi-independent and often fully independent, they had their own court, known as a darbas, army, castles and military fortifications known as sghnakh, carried out justice in the form of trials and collected tax. The relationship between meliks and their subordinates was that of a military commanding officer and junior officer, and not of feudal lord and a serf. Peasants were not allowed to own land, but otherwise were free and owned property. Meliks preserved their rights and privileges after Eastern Armenia became part of the Russian Empire, many of them, especially meliks from Karabakh became Russian generals.

Title : Familiar Feeling
Nothing can come close
Nothing can come close
Nothing can come close
I never doubted it
What's for you will not pass you by
I never questioned it
It was decided before I asked why
It's all there ever was
And it's all there ever will be
How could you have questioned us?
It's yourself you deceive
Nothing can come close
To this familiar feeling
We say it all without
Ever speaking
Nothing can come close
To this familiar feeling
We say it all without
Ever speaking
Nothing can come close
To this familiar feeling
We say it all without
Ever speaking
Nothing can come close
To this familiar feeling
We say it all without
Hush now
No need to say the words
At first sight you perfectly heard
Love in all its entirety
Is no less than we deserve
I saw, your face
Some place
I felt this feeling before
Is it deja vu?
Do I somehow know you?
Nothing can come close
To this familiar feeling
We say it all without
Ever speaking
Nothing can come close
To this familiar feeling
We say it all without
Ever speaking
Nothing can come close
To this familiar feeling
We say it all without
Ever speaking
Nothing can come close
To this familiar feeling
We say it all without
Nothing can come close
To this familiar feeling
We say it all without
Ever speaking
Nothing can come close
To this familiar feeling
We say it all without
Ever speaking
Nothing can come close
Nothing can come close
(Ever speaking)
Nothing can come close
To this familiar feeling
Nothing can come close
