The Sanesan invasion of Armenia, was a military conflict that took place between the kingdom of Armenia and the tribe of Maskut.
In about 335-336 Sanesan (or Sanatruk) and Aluank (Alans), in collusion with the Albanians, decided to take advantage of the situation and assembled a force of nomads including the "Honk" (Huns), as well as the Caucasian mountaineers, and invaded in an attempt to take over Armenia as "rightful successor" to the throne.
