Challenge: Zoroastrian Armenia

Hm. Something of a challenge. Keep the Armenians Zoroastrians (Well it was a interesting mix of Zoroastrianism and Native Polytheist beleifs) unto modern times without preventing Christanity or Islam.

It should be fairly simple. Simply cut off Rome's access to Armenia, perhaps via Sassanid expansion into Asia Minor during the third century. That way, Kartir and his merry Zoroastrian band can persecute Christians left and right undisturbed by Roman kingmaking activities.

Well, if we're simply talking about keeping Armenians as in "people living in Armenia" Zoroastrian, that seems fairly easy to do. But I do image that Armenians outside Armenia and the Persian Empire would pick up many different religions, and I don't think there's a lot we can do about that.
