I read this, this morning. /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Sylvester Stallone is going to shoot a film about the heroic defense of Musa Dag in the Ottoman Empire in 1915 basing on Franz Werfel's novel ‘40 Days of Musa Dag’. In Stallone’s words, during the World War I Turkey has perpetrates mass extermination of Armenians and the film will tell how Armenians organized defense on Musa Dag and survived with the help of French vessels. Ankara has pursued the policy of the Armenian Genocide denial for 85 years already, Sylvester Stallone said adding he knows that Turkey will pose obstacles to the film shooting, reports the RA Public Television. The Musa Dag defense has laid in the basis of the universally known Franz Werfel's novel titled ‘40 Days of Musa Dag’. July 30, 1915 the residents of 6 villages situated at the mountain on the Mediterranean shore (Armenian Cilicia) arranged a self-defense transforming the mountain into a fortress. French warships came to rescue. September 13-15, 1915 the defenders went down to the shore where they were received aboard of Jeanne D’Ark cruiser and conveyed to Egypt. About 4 000 people survived. Most of them returned to Armenia in 1946. http://panarmenian.net/news/eng/?nid=20467 I have always thought he looked Armenian too. I don't think the Turks will like Rambo anymore.

I'm looking for a good English-Armenian, Armenian-English dictionary. I wish the company Langenscheidt published an Armenian dictionary, but they don't. Langenscheidt is the company that publishes those yellow foreign language dictionaries, about 500-700 pages, but they seem really popular so I'm assuming they're good. Also, my mother has one that is a Spanish-English, English-Spanish dictionary from Langenscheidt and it appears to be good. Does anyone have any recommendations of which to buy? I would prefer an Eastern Armenian one and that it was an Armenian-English, English-Armenian.

Kharasho, spasiba.

I think churches and religion is going to become a thing of the past. Not now, maybe not in our lifetime, but people seem to be furthering away from it. Don't get me wrong, it is still a very strong institution and does many things around the world. I don't understand why someone would change their religion. Our ancestors fought for it and died, the least we can do is at least say we are Apostolic Christians.

From now on I will refuse to read anything you write, it will be merely a waste of my time. It is apparent to me that you are an unintelligent individual that comes from a family with irrational judgments and beliefs. Save yourself the two minutes and do not bother replying to me, I can assure you that it will not be read.

Apparently you may have some comprehensional difficulties. I asked why people will pierce their bodies and what their parents and or grandparents think of it. I do not see how my question relates to the fact that I currently reside in Utah.

I'm not too sure about the tsunamis anywhere in the world.

Yes, that's the thread I was talking about, I want to clarify that there was no one telling me to do that. No one told me to mention the Armenian Genocide, I told myself. At the time I was very patriotic (not that I'm not now) and used every media opportunity that I had to get the word out, whether it was radio, television, newspaper or magazines. If the American public knows more about the Armenian Genocide, I believed it will be more likely that there will be a sooner genocide resolution, for that is the reason I said that. Also, she put my words in quotes. That is NOT what I said, I do not remember what I said, but I remember reading the article myself the next day and was quite upset that it was not my words, yet it was still in quotes.

Several years ago I was into the sport of powerlifting and had some success. When I was interviewed by a newspaper reporter I had mentioned that I used the Armenian Genocide as motivation. I had done this in the attempt of getting the word out about the Armenian Genocide, however, I am not sure if members of hyeforum.com misunderstood my intentions, but there were some mixed feelings about it, some that at the time offended me. I searched my name in google and people were discussing about what I said. That is the way I stumbled accross this web-site, accidentally. Do any current active members of hyeforum.com remember that, if so, please let me know, I want to know what you think I did wrong.

Yeah, I got it from the first message However, I have seriously been thinking about moving to Armenia, even if no Asteroid is coming.

You want to go back?

I think that everyday.

You guys can go to China, I'm going to Mars. Just kidding, really, if something like that was to happen and it was coming on the North American continent, I would go to Armenia.

Also, some were very young when moved here and we may have no knowledge of mental health practices.

SanVal, "In short, Armenia no longer is a bastion of "good"/traditional sexual mores. Maybe you didn't see/hear this when you were in Armenia,..." I did see it, and it upsetted me, I was expecing to see in Armenian terms <<Լավ ախչիկ»» for once. I did see many, but I also saw many on the opposite end, which kind of evened everything out. I saw a drunk Persian by Cascad with an Armenian girl in his hand walking around and saying obscene things about Armenian girls, the same type that was in his hand for money. I heard stories of what foreign students from India, Arabic nations and Iran do. I did notice many are wearing short skirts. I noticed they're dancing provocatively, because it is what they see on TV from Russia and the U.S, especially music videos of 50 Cent, Shakira and different Russian musicians. The music videos display dumb retards "rapping", about degrading women, how they did this hoe and that hoe, how they're rich, how they do drugs, crime, flash their jewelry all that is influencing Armenian culture. What they see is what they do. "As long as you believe BOTH men and women have to remain virginal until marriage (in other words, no double standars), that's cool." Absolutely that is what I believe. I was actually more angered that many women would stay virgins and be loyal to their future husband, but the husband was not a virgin and had multiple sex partners. It should be on both sides, not just the women. I don't man, I think Armenia is losing it's culture. I bet the European Union is also influencing the loss of Armenia's culture. In an attempt to keep EU leaders happy, Armenia most likely cannot ban music from those such as 50 Cent. Have you heard their lyrics, it is actually sick and disgusting, I can't believe people like that stuff.

Did it.

Anoushik, it really isn't about pessimism, it's the truth.

Also. "The bottom line is that it's a lot healthier to find out about sex from TV (some actors whom you'll never see in real life) than from your family members!" First of all, this has nothing to do with the Red Apple Tradition. Second I believe that statement is completely false. You did not receive a "Sex Lesson" from your parents by hearing them having sex at night. What do you mean by "Sex Lesson?" Second, I was reading a research study about people who watch porn, as you say it is better to watch porn. This research desagreed with your "Bottom line" statement. It said that individuals who watch porn, fantisize the porn star in the film they watched while having sex with their wife. It also led to porn addiction and eventually divorce. There is no need for your so called "Sex Lesson" it comes naturally. Also the study indicated that couples who preserved their virginity until they were married were more likely to have a stronger and HEALTHIER marriage. I've been looking for the article, but I can't find it and I don't know what magazine it was in that I read it.

Armenia has nothing to do with the fact that you heard your parents having sex. Also, how do you consider that a sex lesson? You say that it is an embarassing tradition? It is not embarassing for someone who's grown up thinking that is the way it is, it is normal. Just like if you go to a hunting and gathering society, people will be walking around almost naked or naked, it maybe embarassing to you to do that, but not them because that's the way it has been. "Western upbringing is actually healthier for children." I do not think so. Armenian upbringing teaches youth abstinence, western upbring teaches students to use contraceptives and "bozutun". In the United States you are considered a "Boz" only if you are standing on a street corner and selling yourself, everything else is okay and completely fine. In the U.S. upbringing it is the primary goal of youth to lose their virginity. I am made fun of by all my friends and they continually say things such as, "Sarkis, we need to take you to a party to get you laid." I say no, they think I'm scared, but I am embarassed to tell them I do not want to lose my virginity, but it is indeed the case. Also, losing your virginity before you are married increases the chance of divorce.

"I think this is a good tradition and should be kept in Armenia, however, I also believe..." Okay, I see why everyone is confused, what I wrote can be interpreted as ONLY kept in Armenia. I do not mean ONLY kept in Armenia, what I meant is the tradition should at least be preserved in Armenia if it can not be preserved within the diaspora. The reason I say this is because I don't think there is any hope for the diaspora, it's too late, lots of their mindsets have already changed or have been only taught by peers and media to get laid. If I say to any of my Armenian friends in Los Angeles, that includes cousins from my dad's side in Los Angeles, they will simply laugh at me. I think it would be very nice if the diaspora could also preserve it, but I don't think it's possible.

I did not mention diaspora becuase many are not aware of the tradition, if they are, many disreguard it. Furthermore it is much harder to keep that tradition in such a society as the United States. This society is inundated with sex, sex, sex. Everything you watch on TV is all about sex. And then you have morons like "Dr." Phil giving people advice, telling them to be gay, or telling them that her and her boyfriend should start new sexual techniques or whatever crap stuff they give. This makes them think that is right, that is the way it should be. My primary worry is that Armenia will lose it.

What do you mean by "Women's Rights"?

I think this is a good tradition and should be kept in Armenia, however, I also belive that the men should stay virgin until they are married if they expect their wife to be. Nonetheless, if this tradition dies because of western influence, STDs will increase, divorces will increase and how I would say this in English I don't know, but - Khujhananots kdarna Hayastan@.

I was little, I don't remember exactly where they were talking about, except that it was Armenia, but I remember someone saying it's too deep and it's impossible to get to.
