only an asshole compares Armenia to Greece...and personally I would go to Armenia..duhhhhhhh...I am Armenian...logic logic logic...didn't your people invent that word as well. And also the feeling I get from you is that your in-laws dislike you not because you are odar shunshanvorti but because you are pretty dumb.

you are comparing apples to oranges...sounds very illogical...people also don't travel for brand recognition only (as you claim it), in fact only ordinary boring tourists do that...many are fascinated by small unknown corners of the world. Why don't we say given the choice of Greece and Turkey where would you go? I would personally choose Turkey since it's cheaper to be a tourist there and the Western coastline is by far more fascinating. How about Italy or Greece...of course Italy again...so see you guys still need to work on brand recognition.

care to share what city you guys live in. I have a feeling you are dealing with an extremely small sample of Armenians who are somehow depressed and isolated from larger communities...I bet you don't know anybody from Armenia proper...just a feeling

Bianca, the Latin culture has been somewhat transferred to Armenia through the endless Latin soap operas that they watch there. There is also some influence from Spain. There is a pop artist Hayko and some of his songs and style of singing sound exactly like Alejandro Sanz for example. You can probably get his album in one of the hollywood armenian cd stores.

Dear Tigranes, judging by your angry posts here one can only assume that you have been deeply hurt by the family (relatives, community) of the Armenian woman you married based on the fact that you are not Armenian. You chose to participate in this forum to let the steam out somehow against some virtual Armenians spread around the world. Unfortunately, your posts have been expressing one-sided, shallow and undiplomatic views - similar to the attitude your received from the Armenian community that treated you bad or did not accept you at all. Hence all the negative comments posted against you. Reciprocity of anger in this case most probably won't serve the problem - rather patience, deeper understanding and that favorite thing that Christians' like to do "turning the other cheek", after all Greeks invented Christianity or something similar, right ?? Your situation is not new to the Armenian community, time will pass and they will end up accepting you as one of their own and even loving you like their son. There are numerous examples like this. Although I do wish that parents will just respect the wishes of their kids specially after they are married.

andros in Greek is male...so you take it from there

I don't think Adranik is of Armenian origin, rather Roman or something like that. How about "Titus Andronicus" the famous Shakespearian play. Also in Northern California there is a gourmet supermarket chain called "Andronico's" and it was started by Frank Andronico, a Greek immigrant, more about him below. Also there is Russian Orthodox bishop Andronic Nickolsky who started the Japanese Orthodox Church etc etc. So I would definately rule out Andranik being of Armenian origin http://www.andronicos.com/about_andronicos...dronicos1a.html

Hi, I read this too..and was wondering who drew that map...i have never seen such a division before...was just curious where russians got it.

hey, even Georgians stepped in with those voice recordings of the dispatcher-pilot conversation.

Rabiz was around well before the Soviet Union fell, it was not something that was born out of that. Rabiz is a result of Armenians listening to too much Azeri music.

RELATIVES OF THE KILLED IN AIRBUS CRASH TO GET INSURANCE INDEMNITY Yerevan, May 3. ArmInfo. The relatives of the casualties of the Airbus A-320 belonging to Armavia company will receive about $20,000 insurance indemnity, Artak Antonyan, Director of Grand Insurance Company told ArmInfo. The company insured the life of the passengers. Mr. Antonyan said the size of the insurance indemnity will depend on the funerals and other expenses. It will be finally estimated after relevant expertise. The company reinsures all its risks at London Insurance Market Lloyds Group, he said. International insurers are expected to start the expertise on May 4. The crashed Airbus-320 was insured. The size of its insurance will be determined by the expertise as well, A. Antonyan said.

this is all over the new, specially the russian news. cnn.com even has a video thing.

ok, I just noticed this old post. Tonatsar b/c this tree was not supposed to have a religious connotation, remember "religion was opium for masses" in Soviet times.

Thanks, Yervant. I just googled in Google Video and found a link, I hope this is the right one, the voiceover sounds like Margulis, so it should be it. I am glad somebody put it online. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=52...rmenian&pl=true

Thank you for the vidoes. I missed the movie, is there any place/any where to catch it again.

the murderer has been caught...it's a 16 year old guy and he admitted to the murder.

ok, we got it... you did not finish college and now gluxs es tsavatsnum ...if you feel like you are missing out on something why don't you just go for it, follow your heart...even if your family members don't agree etc. My boyfriend dropped out to start a business and now years later he does not have the company and he does not have the degree...well I still love him and by the way many Armenians who did end up at orphanages after the Genocide DID go to college.

wow...this was funny....they have been misinformed

yes, my family always prefers Armenian stores to "American" stores, they drive the extra mile for them too - from Glendale to some store in Sunland (anybody know what this is?)

what a useless and illogical thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder if you would talk the same way to you kid who is trying to decide to go to college or not...specially an Armenian parent

Thank You, that was very useful

Of course, there is also a more spiritual or religious approach to this question - pride is vanity (in Christianity), too much showing of happiness or success attributes to this factor indirectly, and that is one needs to be humble etc etc. Lastly, people who mostly exhibit happy state of being - oftentime are hard to relate to - as one feels that they are lacking a true experience in life - and we all know, this thing called life sometimes can suck hard - and we as a humans want to find a "friend" with similar experience to share our sorrows. hope this help

Anon answered it pretty well "it's human nature - we like to be competitive, engage in power struggle and when someone comes out as too happy or too successful, we simply start thinking how to overdo him/her" Think of it as a method for people to engage in progressive thinking...

I love Kookoo, my grandma used to make it for every Easter when I was growing up, now she is gone and noone seems to know the recepe anymore, I'll pass this along to my aunts etc.
