Dear Bianca, I don't think Armenians are special when it comes to intermarriage. I would say that however paradoxical it may sound, compared to other ethnic groups Armenians are quite liberal in that respect. Intermarriage in some segments of the Armenian society reached alarming numbers especially in the North-Eastern part of USA. Many Armenian intellectuals hurried up to label this phenomenon "white genocide". Here in the States, except for most so-called "whites", the rest of the population somehow tries to keep close to their roots. "Whites" are anonymous. They don't represent any culture. Their culture is lost irretrievably. Partly for this reason they are more open to embracing other cultures and/or do not put that much emphasis on preservation of certain culture or way of life. 
Dear Bianca vella,
For having married an armenian, I do not believe that armenians are quit liberal. Italians ar liberal and so are greeks because, you will NEVER find a message board with xenophobic comments like this.
I have waited a while to hear the term white genocide used on this FORUM. THANK YOU TIME HAS COME FOR ME TO SAY WHAT IS ON MY MIND. i FIND THE TERM DEPLORABLE. WHEN YOU SAY WHITS DON'T REPRESENT ANY CULTURE...YOU ARE DEHUMANIZING THEM... HAVING BEEN A STUDENT OF XXTH CENTURY HISTORY, THE BEST WAY TO CONVINCE A PEOPLE TO KILL OF ANOTHER IS BY TLLING THEM THY AREN'T HUMAN, OR HAVE NO CULTURE. mY BEST ARMENIAN FRIEND ONCE SUED TH TERM WITHE GENOCIDE AROUND M SPEAKING OF WHITES AND HOW THEY ARE NOTHING BECAUSE THY HAVE NO CULTURE AND HOW IT IS OK TO CONVERT THEM OVER TO ARMENIAN. BECAUSE THY HAVE NO CULTURE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AS A STATEMENT.EVERYBODY IS PERSON WITH SOME CULTURE, IT IS JUST THAT SOME DON'T HAVE A STRONG ATTACHMENT LIKE OTHERS. BASICALLY WE ALL HAVE A CULTURE... OUR ATTACHMENT TO IT IS RELATIVE. MY ARMO FRIEND WAS GOING OUT WITH A AMERICAN GIRL AND WAS JUSTIFIYING HER CONVERSION WITH THIS: SHE HAS NO CULTURE DOCTRINE. SO WHEN I TOLD HIM ...JUST TO PROVOKE HIM THAT I AWS GOING TO GREEK-A-FY MY THEN GIRLFRIEND HE GOT ANGRY: AND I ANSWERED: BUT HAIGO, I AM GREEK...SHE IS ARMENIAN...IN MY EYES...SHE HAS NO CULTURE....OF COURSE I DIDN'T MEAN THIS....
MY PROBLEM WITH SOME ARMENIANS SAYING THAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE NON CULTURE IS THAT GERMANS ALSO DEHUMANIZED JEWS. HITLER WHN ASKED ABOUT THE PLIGHT OF THE JEWS SAID: AND WHO REMEMBERS THE ARMENIANS? THIS IS WHY... FROM A PEOPLE WHICH HAS BEEN GENOCIDED I AM DISGUSTED OF THIS ATTITUDE. MY FRIEND HAIGO DIDN'T APPROVE OF MY RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE: EVERY ARMENIAN COUNTS: i AGREE; WHO ABOUT OTHERS: NO....THEY ARE JUST WHITE;
HOW CAN YOU SAY YOU LOVE YOUR SPOUSEE AND GTHN TURN AND SAY SH HAS NO CULTURE BECAUS SHEE IS WHITE...
YOU DON'T LOVE HER....
THIS IS SO DISGUSTING....IF WE THOUGHT ARMENIANS WERE WITHOUT CULTURE...LIKE THE WHITES....WELL, WE WOULD HAV TAKEN THEM WITH US WHEN WE LEFT SMYRNA. BUT WE DID. NOT ALL ARMENIANS THINK LIKE THIS BUT I HAVE HEARD THIS LINE OF THOUGHT BEFORE: SO IT EXISTS. YOU KNOW WHATS THE WORST? THESE WHITES OF THE USA GIVE US CITIZNSHIP AND THE RIGHTS AND WE SHIT ON THEM... WE CALL THEM CULTURAL ZEROS..... ALOT OF ARMENIANS LEFT EEGYPT SYRIA AND LEBANON AND IRAN FOR A BETTER LIFE HERE AND THAY SHIT ON AMERICANS...HYPOCRITICAL....
DISGUSTING....
NO ONE HAS A RIGHT TO SAY :THEY HAVE NO CULTURE: AND EVEN LESS ARMENIANS....
SHAME ON YOU....
YOUR GENOCIDED ANCESTORS WOULD AGREE
