Benitolink: San Benito County NewsNov 23 2017 Armenian Dolmas: a Thanksgiving treatposted on Thu, 11/23/2017 - 07:54am by Becky Bonner-Leland, Reporting for BenitoLink Hollister resident Keith Bonner prepares traditional Armenian dolmas to share with his family on Thanksgiving Day Gage Jumper stops by his grandfather's house and checks on the dolmas as they cook Ground beef, tomato sauce, rice, salt, pepper, onion, and parsley make up the filling of the dolma's Bonner mixes all ingredients together before rolling them in grape leaves Grape leaves are laid out and topped with the mixed filling Bonner rolls the grape leaf from the bottom while tucking in the corners to keep the filling in Once fully rolled the dolmas are placed in a pot to prepare for cooking which takes one hour Keith Bonner moved to Hollister from San Jose six years ago to be closer to three of his four adult children. Wanting to share his heritage, Bonner was found this holiday season preparing traditional Armenian dolmas to share with his family on Thanksgiving Day. Bonner learned this recipe from his “mother who was full blooded Armenian,” who in turn learned this recipe from her mother who was born and raised in Armenia. When it comes to dolmas, Bonner said, “We have had it (dolmas) since we were little. It’s always been a family dish at get-togethers. My mother had six siblings and when we got together we always ate these and other Armenian dishes." Bonner’s grandparents moved to the United States from Armenia in 1912 to, as he explained, "escape the persecution of the Turks against the Armenians". This persecution would lead to the Armenian Genocide three years later during WWI. The Armenian National Institute's website estimates that of the two million Armenians found in the Ottoman Empire prior to WWI, one and a half million died between the years of 1915 and 1923. Wanting to keep his heritage alive on Thanksgiving Day, Bonner prepared his family recipe, just as his mother did, to share the dish he grew up eating with his own family. “It is a tradition to pass down so you don’t forget your Armenian roots,” Bonner serves dolmas on Thanksgiving Day, next to the traditional turkey and stuffing. Once cooked dolmas can be served both hot or cold. Bonner’s family recipe is listed below. DOLMAS Recipe ingredients - one pound of ground beef or desired ground meat, one jar of grape leaves, half of a large onion, half a cup of long grain white rice, salt and pepper to taste, one eight ounce can of tomato sauce, and half a handful of parsley. Step 1 - Mix raw meat, rice, salt, pepper, tomato sauce, diced onion, and parsley together. Step 2 - Roll out grape leaves from jar. Step 3 - Place desired amount of mixture onto the base of the grape leaf. Step 4 - Roll the grape leaf from the bottom, folding in the sides as you go. Step 5 - Place rolled dolma in a pot until the pot is full. Step 6 - Once full fill the pot with enough water to cover the bottom layer of dolma's. Step 7 - Place the pot full of dolma's on the stove. Bring the pot to a a boil with the lid covered. Step 8 - Once the water boils, turn the stove down to a low boil, like cooking rice, and heat for one hour. https://benitolink.com/features/armenian-dolmas-thanksgiving-treat

News.am, ArmeniaNov 22 2017 Ethiopian prince praises relations with Armenia at Armenian Assembly reception (PHOTOS)20:33, 22.11.2017 WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Armenian Assembly of America (Assembly) and its Capital Region Council hosted its Annual Holiday Reception this month, with special guest His Imperial Highness Prince Ermias Sahle-Selassie of Ethiopia. Prince Ermias spoke highly of the bilateral relations between Ethiopia and Armenia that dates back centuries. “At this point, it is both important and gratifying to know our two people - Ethiopia and Armenia - have been colleagues longer than most of the nations on this planet. Indeed, the Imperial Family has taken note of the active trade and civil relationships between Ethiopians and Armenians, extending back to the 3rd Century A.D. Moreover, Armenians and Ethiopians share a rich and historic connection as members of the same branch of Orthodox Christianity, as well as perhaps lesser known stories of the invaluable Armenian contributions to Ethiopian history,” Prince Ermias said. Prince Ermias, President of the Crown Council of Ethiopia, recalled the story of his grandfather, Emperor Haile Selassie I, and his encounters with Armenians. In 1924, when the Emperor was visiting Jerusalem, he came across a marching band of forty Armenian youngsters. When he asked who they were, he was told that they were all orphans who had escaped Ottoman Turkey during the Armenian Genocide. After listening to the band play, the Emperor was “struck by the band's musical talent.” Thereupon the Emperor asked for permission from the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem to adopt and bring the musicians to Ethiopia. The Armenian musicians were then known as the “Arba Lijoch,” which means forty children in Amharic, and were trained in Ethiopia by musical director Kevork Nalbandian. Nalbandian was an Armenian Genocide survivor, originally from Aintab in the southeastern region of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. The Armenian musicians came to form the Royal Imperial Brass Band, beginning a tradition in modern Ethiopian music of heavily using brass instruments. Amazed by their progress and skill, Emperor Selassie asked Nalbandian to compose a national anthem for Ethiopia. On November 2, 1930, the Emperor's coronation day, the Arba Lijoch unveiled the Imperial National Anthem, Marsh Teferi, which was Ethiopia's official anthem from 1930 to 1974. Prince Ermias told the audience that these Armenians became known as the "forerunners in the modernization of mainstream music in Ethiopia." Assembly Board Member Annie Totah expressed her gratitude to Prince Ermias, her personal friend, for his kind words about the Armenians. "We thank you so very much for joining and educating us about the situation in Africa, and thank you for having presented to us the history about Armenians in Ethiopia. Emperor Haile Selassie welcomed us - the Armenians - and we have an ideal, mutually beneficial and fantastic relationship between both countries," Totah said. Over 100 guests attended the Holiday Reception, including Armenian Ambassador to the United States His Excellency Grigor Hovhannissian with his wife Victoria and Artsakh Permanent Representative to the U.S. Robert Avetisyan with his wife Elvina. In his remarks, Ambassador Hovhannissian noted that Ethiopia has a special place in the hearts of Armenians. He also recognized the Assembly's advocacy work, as well as the grassroots activism and dedication of its members. “We are very mindful and cognizant of the tremendous effort that the Armenian Assembly of America has been making towards the development of Armenia and towards building and strengthening relations with the United States,” Ambassador Hovhannissian stated. “You have many, many dedicated members, and Armenia is blessed to have them among its most committed friends,” he added. Assembly Executive Director Bryan Ardouny briefed the audience on the Assembly's accomplishments this past year and explained the challenges ahead. He emphasized the continued efforts to increase membership in the Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues, which is currently at 113, as well as urging Members to withdraw from the Turkish and Azeri Caucuses. Both Ardouny and Totah encouraged the audience to contact their Representatives and educate them on the importance of strengthening U.S.-Armenia and U.S.-Artsakh relations. Following the speeches, Dr. Naira Babayan, a member of the Armenian Assembly, performed an Armenian musical selection, including Krunk (Stork) by Komitas, Six Dances by Komitas, and Dance of Sasun by A. Arutiunian. https://news.am/eng/news/422423.html

only a handful of famous ones, at least to the outside world, why is that? Look at this list http://www.armeniapedia.org/index.php?title=Famous_Armenians Only a handful and a lot of them are not even full Armenians And this list is even more poorer http://www.nndb.com/ancestry/940/000043811 it has two pornstars listed as Armenians

Hello, As mentioned these two list are old , I am sure we are more then that list on this earth. I can not name them now.

Has anyone actually seen this web page? www.armeniangirls.com ? I'm sorry its rather rude. It pisses me off to see they have used the Armenian flag as a background, they seem to be so proud KIM KARDASHIAN needs to join the page.

Ya i got a good laugh at that one too

actually, three are listed as pornstars

The Assyrians can get mad all they want. I have met his uncle myself, and an Asori he is not. He still attends Tehran's Ararat Sports Club regularly. I however have to agree that he is not what you would call a committed compatriot.

Actually I think that we achieved a lot for such a small nation (in terms of size and population).

Lev7, compared with the whole world population, Armenians represent a very small number in this world. Yet look at how we've succeeded in every profession you can think of! In every profession there is an Armenian who's excelled and has fame in his/her work! That's a lot of accomplishment for the Armenian culture. Just today I was talking about this with my friend. The example I gave was the famous Chinese pianists Lang Lang and Yundi Li. I said to my friend that considering there are over a billion Chinese worldwide one Lang Lang is not enough. They should've given this world ten Lang Langs and ten Yundi Lis! So, considering our very, very small number and our tragic history I think as a culture we're pretty amazing

Can't somebody remove Princess Diana from the list? Why, oh why do we continue to claim that she was Armenian???

There's alot here, but this is just a small portion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Armenians

Both very old

It's a very old list. I remember seeing that same list on Cilicia.com years ago.

where are the great armenian doctors, how come the most unfortunate one is listed?
