that's not true, she has an Italian background

I read that ironically "kasab" in Turkish means Butcher.

Mos, I got the soundtrack, more specifically the CD where the soundtrack was made out of. The best parts of the movie are the last scenes b/c of Ara Gevorgyan's "Arstakh" track playing in the background, although I don't have that one. Can anybody send/post the mp3????

actually, to be quite honest, the movie was pretty funny with Hrant etc. however there are some stupid Armenian stereotypes (note: Armenians produced this movie) that could be left out altogether. At one point the impression was that all Armenian women are ugly as hell and ALL Armenian men are trying to marry other nationalities...

who is this guy, some Joe from Canada or US? If I pay attention to every bad comment about Armenia then pretty soon my head will explode. And entire Caucasus includes the strongest Armenian ally - Russia, so how is the entire Caucasus against????? The guy is full of bs.

since it joined the Counsel of Europe, I think it was 2001

MOST SMOKERS IN ARMENIA AMONG EUROPEAN COUNTRIES YEREVAN, May 31. /ARKA/. Armenia ranks first among the European countries as to the number of smokers, Chairwoman of the RA Parliamentary Standing Committee on Science, Education, Culture and Youth Affairs Hranush Hakobyan stated at a round-table "Present-day problems of Armenia's antismoking policy". She also added that the country ranks 8th in the world. "According to official statistics, 35% of cancer cases result from smoking," she said. Hakobyan said that all Armenian citizens are smokers. "The lack of smoking rules results in nonsmokers becoming passive smokers," Hakobyan said. She also reported that 64% of men and 10% of women are smokers in Armenia. Armenia's citizens spend 25mln USD on tobacco every year. Four to six persons dies from smoking in Armenia yearly. According to NGOs, Armenia's revenue from the import and sale of tobacco increased by 60% in 2001-2003 totaling 42mln USD. P.T. -0--

male everybody flies to Armenia for the wedding, it was pretty sweet. Hrant is doing his usual Hrantutyun Mos, somebody mentioned that the movie is available with English subtitles, I am sure the Armenian version exists in Armenia but never seen it here. found another link where to buy http://www.alldvd.ca/productDisplay.do?itemId=4041

more Armenians in Moscow alone than in entire California Guys, btw, have you seen "Moya Bolshaya Armyankaya Svadba". It touches upon the particulars of Armenians in Moscow, pretty funny. It's a knock-off from "My Fat Greek Wedding" about a marriage between an Armenian and Russian. And, it's available in Glendale for those Glendelian residents who are part of this forum, but you have to know Russian.

Guys, I found some info, everybody is partially right about the origin of the name. Origin of the name Georgians call themselves Kartvelebi (ქართველები), their land Sakartvelo (საქართველო), and their language Kartuli (ქართული). These names are derived from a pagan god called Kartlos, said to be the father of all Georgians. The foreign name Georgia, used throughout Western Europe, is derived from Persian گرجی Gurji via the Arabic Jurj. Because the spelling was influenced by the Greek root geōrg- (γεωργ-, indicating farming), the word has been mistakenly supposed to have come from a cognate such as St. George (the country's patron saint), or γεωργία (geōrg/i>, farming). The Classical world knew the inhabitants of eastern Georgia as Iberians, from the Caucasian kingdom of Iberia — thus confusing the geographers of antiquity, who thought this name applied only to the inhabitants of the Iberian Peninsula (Spain, Portugal, Andorra, Gibraltar and [1] (http://flagspot.net/flags/ge.html) Gurj, the Persian designation for the Georgians, is also the source of Turkish G?i> (pronounced "G?) and Russian Gruzin. The name of the country is Gurjestan in Persian, G?an in Turkish, and Gruzija in Russian. The Persian name is probably related to the Armenian words for Georgian and Georgia, respectively Vir and Vrastan. (There are other instances in which a Persian word-initial gu- is derived from an earlier wi- or wa-.) Thus, both the Persian and the Armenian words appear to be related to the name Iberia, with loss of the initial i- and substitution of w or v for the b of Iberia. There is also, in all likelihood, an etymological connection between the name Iberia and the historic province of Georgia called Imereti.

even the feeling when you want to choke someone to death

Sasun, this is just a cult, it's ridiculous anybody even bothers to argue with their dogmas. What are they going to do, destroy all the Christian churches and monasteries in Armenia for their dogma too. Then what separates them from Seljuk Turks?

"Forgive them father for they know not what they do"

the country Georgia is from Greek Geo which means soil/earth, in other words it was a Greek name given to the country perhaps because they have good soil to grow things. Nobody asked here what do Georgians call themselves or how they call Armenians.

Lech is their ancient name for themselves. Huyn comes from "Ionian" there was a thread that discussed these already here, please look for it.

I just read the other day that the origins of Armenian paganism is also an import, this was more specifically about the "Birth of Vahagn", came with Armeno-Phrygians.

Armena, "hnchel" in Armenian is written with letter "ch" "hunj" is ritten with Armenian "j" these words might sound similar but they don't have a commot root. "hunj" is "henge"

yes folks, pick it up please, I am sure this is going to number 1 I am personally buying a few to send to Armenia and Moscow.

ok, have you heard of 451 AC famous battle led by Mamikonian. If we wanted this religion we would have accepted it 1500 years ago Welcome to the forum Armena, I just noticed you signed up recently. Why do you think that this forum needs educational articles on "foreign" religions to Armenians?

Great album!

decrease the hatred for Turks and concentrate on more important issues, like selling Kotayk beer to Turkey, which they love by the way

my brother is one of the music producers of Bambir 2

yeah, it's called Ticket to Armenia with an Open Return Date

Dave, Dave, Dave, think Armenian, your mentality is not of an Armenian, Europeans are NOT accepting Turkey for this same reason, their mentality is different of Euro of which Armenians believe it or not fall.
