The Subarians were a hypothetical ancient people that inhabited the southwestern Armenian highlands and northern Mesopotamia and was the main population of the Kingdom of Subartu. It is possible that as early as the second half of the 3rd millennium BC, the Subarians were assimilated by the Hurrians, who mass settled the region during that time.
==History== The Subarian tribal union established a powerful central power in northern northern Mesopotamia in the 3rd millennium BC and from there spread to eastern Asia Minor, northern Syria, and Armenia. According to some historians, the Subarians are the oldest historical people of these lands. According to historian Sydney Smith, the Subarians were a people who descended from the mountains in the northern and northeastern parts of Assyria.
