the same thing used to happen to me. I am an hayastantsi born in Hayastan though having some odar background but/and as Hyebruin says above, there are sooooo leeeeeess armenians (though i still hesitate) who have pure 100% armenian background.. whatever, i was about being vegitarian.. i havent eaten meat at all, any kind of meat for more than 15 years (since shildhood) and just imagine, i was treated in the same way, saying that i m an hinduz, or whoever,, coz itis really whirl that armenians don eat meat at all, now i eat a lil bit chicken, fish, and thats all,, but it is also very strange to them that for example there is an armenian who doesn t like Xozi Xorovats.. hm... anyway..the times are slowly getting changed here and people also.. like to say .. the intelligents and city residents live other countries, and the vilagians and artsax people move to live in Yerevan changing the "stangards", mentality and other things with them.. again like talking behind the girl who came home a lil late around 11 pm from some friend's birthday party.. or stopping the car suggesting her to take "wherever she pleases" .. and bla bla,, or being soooo proud of driving some LADA.. eeeeh.. if even the intelligents were here anyway the most of the people would do their "responsibilities" bothering normal people here.. whatever.. what about "girlfriends".. i ll say that we also have some change to enjoy their presence herein (especially in YErevan, i don know about other places) but we also have such couples here :) looking a tyotya dressed like a guy with other tyotya showing that she is holly. : haha , or kids, teens.. amazing... how fast they grow up, we weren t like 'em.. whatever.. "Always judge about nation by their best representatives". I dont remember who told these words, but I think it is true. There are so many asshole and bustards in Hayastan, that do nothing but driving their LADA or even not doing it, but just sitting in theirs "hayati besedka" and "itch their balls". Sorry for such words, but this true. Actually they do nothing for Armenia besides consuming products of amount of $100 per month and increasing our Gross Domestic Product. They don't even pay any tax, and always complain on the government. Why I say this, is that of course there are people who will be surprised to see that you dont eat Xozi Xorovats (and I am surprised also), but everything ends up only with my surprise. There are lots of lots of lots of many other smart and intelligent people that do a lot good for our Motherland. Just evade such guys, and enjoy the beauty of Hayastan and their hospital people.

Hi. I am new here, I am a totally Armenian from Hayastan with nothing "odar" in me. Presently I am in US. I can tell you one thing. Although I always say that Armenians should marry only Armenians, deep in my soul I understand that I am wrong. There are some reasons for that. Mixing nations brings to the beautification of our nation. Look at Europeans or Americans. They do mix their bloods which makes them more beautiful. Armenian people are, what they call in russian, "varjatsja v sobstvennom soku" (boiling in their own juice). On the other hand, we are very small nation and therefore marrying with other nations can bring to "odar darnalu". People will start to loose their identity as Armenians, and therefore in Hayastan it is very common to say "hay@ piti Hayi het amusnana". I don't mind if Armenian girls and guys marry to other nations' representatives, as long as their children are brought up in Armenian way and style, that is they speak fluently Armenian (btw, language is the most important carrier of the culture), write, read, and share right Armenian traditions and represent Armenians and Armenia with respect and dignity.
