As far as I know the Polish used (or still do) to call themselves "Leh", and it is a common name in Poland now (Lech).So Lehastan is very explainable:) As for Vrastan, it literally means "the land from the above". And it really is. Huynastan is still an Enigma for me, but it deffinitely has nothing to do with the hunns, 'cause the land of hunns is Hungary(Hungaria, in arm.).Don't forget that the hunns are the ancestors of todays Hungarians,Estonians and Finnish.

Oh I'm sorry i came so late!! Guys, i wish you all the best!!!!! Moso, huysov em vor kneres shnorhavorum em

Artur jan! don't be so mean As far as i remember,lots of girls in London look and dress really cool!I haven't been to other British cities though.But they deffinitly dress horribly in the US!Absolute lack of taste! As for Armenia it's really great in the big cities,50%-50% in the towns and almost horrible in most of the rural area...lol Russia's probably the best place in this case

HAPPY BELATED VALENTINES'S DAY TO ALL THE LOVING ONES

Gamavor, Really?...haha

Women found reasons and ways to abort their pregnancies in all times. My own grandmother once had to abort her child (in armenia) because of her health. She took some herbal mixture which stopped the pregnancy. This was in the nineteenfiftees; in armenia, and from what I heard....she was not theonly one. drugs; alcohol and tobacco are taken in public. Other drugs not, an any other country than holland, drugs are taken privately. and as you seem to be a proper boy; you won't see it. begging: this one i can't be as sure about as the points before; i guess in the sovjet time there was not much to beg from. . Oh my God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Artur jan,I really have to agree with you.. They all can't even imagine what it was like to live in Soviet Armenia!!!!!!!!! It was just HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!No States and no Europe could be compared to that!People left their cars and houses opened at night,and young girls could stay in the parks up till 11 PM , you could walk in the dark streets without being afraid for your life, people had bags full of golden jewelry,they had the most expensive furniture and china.......I can just go on and on and on........ What do you know about Soviet Armenia????Huh?? NOTHING!!!!!

Thank you Movses jan. No life without you...lol Oh guys....guys...guys.. Come on girls, say your word!

The word VARD is ARMENIAN.The Assyrians also have it as WURDA.That's it.I don't remember the Greek word but it's for sure not vard or anything close. And the word GUL the Persians may use comes deffinitely from the Turkic word GYUL.And has nothing common with the Armenian word.The name Nvard in Urartu and the name Wurda in Babylon (Assyria) appeared around 8c. BC...lol...the Turks were monkeys at that time

Ok..Arpa it's absolutely stupid to argue on this topic.When you talk about the Parthian and Persian names we have you forget our anciet culture.It was all that!We had the the same ruling Arshakid dynasty, same religion, almost same culture SO we had a lot of common names!We also have lots of Jewish and Greek names because becuase now we're Christian and this is our religion today! But the Turkish surnames are offensive for a nation that didn't share any common cultural features or religion with the Turks! All we saw was hatred and opression, why should we have their ugly and barbarik names that we even don't understand????!!Do they like our names or do they have them?? I don't go against our famous people that had their names.I am agains the surnames not the people! But I'm 100% sure that poor Daniel Varujan that was so horribly killed in 1915 would be happy to stay in our hearts as Daniel VARUJAN !

No hard feelings guys,I don't mean to hurt anyone, but I really wish that every Armenian that has a Turkish last name would change it to a real Armenian one. Don't you think it sounds unnatural: for example:Hayk Bagirian???

WOW.......those "angry postings"are impressing...Gosh..I've never heard such disgusting things about us even from Turks.

Artur jan.. It seems like you created an ideal Armenian society.But the reality unfortunatly is not that rosy. I don't live in Armenia but I spend my summers there and I know the life from the inside as well as if I've lived there all my life.the morality you're talking about is starting to rott.And yes, the girls in Armenia now are very far from being angelic, trust me.The Armenian girls in Russia are much more "Armenian" in this case.

Arto jan! there are lots of Armenian surnames that are fromed out of Turkish or Persian words or names, like Janibekian, Babajanian, Gyulbekian,Bagirian..etc. By the way, Harut what's yours? [ January 17, 2002: Message edited by: Nvard ]
