  2. Armen, i left my comment already, but i'll add a couple more. first, bringing back old policians will discourage young people and newcomers to politics from entering into political arena. it will paint a picture of politics being a "game" for old people. second, bringing back old presidents will mean that we are politically bankrupt and have only two-three people to choose from for a president for last 13 years. i certainly don't believe so. i can go on talking about how it will have negative impact on the political atmosphere... such as strengthening the already rooted clan system, how it will undermine the process of building political parties around idealogies and national agends and not certain individuals and short-term goals, etc etc. as you see my opposition is not personally agaist him, but the idea itself.
  3. then people complian that armenians are clueless about love and romance. there are two freaking armenian forums on that page!!!

    i oppose to any changes that will take away the ություն [utyun] ending. because then, technically i would become Հարում [Harum], which i don't like. of course kidding here.

    Impressions Of The Day

    G. Sundukian theathre is on tour in la. have seen Levon Shant's Ancient Gods (Hin Astvatsner) today. excellent writing, excellent play about the ethernal fight between the "banakan" and the "bnakan"
  11. reminds me of a person i know, who complains that she was a "axpari jut" when they moved to armenian in 60s and became "kextot hayastantsi" when they moved to usa in 70s.
  12. first, let me say that i have not followed the trial of Samvel Babayan closely and do not know whether he was or was not guilty of consiparcy. however, if the state found him guilty of assassination attempt agaist the president of the state, it is a sign of weakness, incompetance, and lack of credibility from the state to give him an amnesty.
  13. not to get too off topic here... listen to that music and watch the avator of our latest member emil.
  14. well, i voted "no", but not because i don't like him personally or professionally, but because we are trying to build a democracy in the country not authocracy. what's done is done. he had his chanse and he gave it up. his coming back is not a matter of life and death for him or the country. so... let's move on.

    Poet

    Բանաստեղծություն [banasteghtsutyun] has much deeper meaning, just like the root of the word, բան [ban], does. so, բանաստեղծ [banasteghts] is not just a poet, but also, a worker, philosopher, sculpter, etc... all in all, it has possitive meaning, meaning, it is used to describe something (or something) worthwhile, valuable, of high class. just like բանաստեղծություն [banasteghtsutyun] is used to descibe a good, valueable poem, in contrast with ոտանավոր [votanavor], which is used to descibe any rymic saying (such as ծիտիկ, ծիտիկ մոտ արի, քեզ տամ ցորեն ու գարի). btw, it armenian literature we also have a unique genre called, արձակ բանաստեղծություն [ardzak banasteghtsutyun]. as far as քերթել, քերթող [qertel, qertogh] is conserned, and this is just a guess and how i personally perceive the word, it has more scientific connotation, while բանաստեղծել, բանաստեղծ [banasteghtsel, banasteghts] has more artistic meaning. that is, for one to քերթել [qertel], or be called քերթող [qertogh] he has to have knowledge, has to have done reseach in the topic. as such, we have a քերթողահայր [qertoghahayr] Մովսես Խորենացի [Movses Xorenatsi], the first քերթող [qertogh]. note, not Մեսրոպ Մաշտոց [Mesrop Mashtots], who i think is the first բանաստեղծ [banasteghts]. and as Arpa mentioned, note mix it with կերտել [kertel], which i suspect have some connection.

    well, i'm nowhere near being expert or even knowledgeable about the topic, but chi-qufta tastes awsome.

  20. even though Bush clearly lacks the intelligence, Kerry is a professional politician and sometimes does very bad job hiding it. plus, unfortunately, Bush's short, abstract, dogmatic statements, such as "we are doing a good job", "it's a tough thing to do", "we have strong coalition", will be more appealing to the most of the Americans.
  21. believe it or not, LTP is also a distant relative.
  22. and is a distant relative of mine. as far as the settlement of the conflict goes, i think we are stuck for another 10-15 years unless something really dramatic happens. i was listening to a new report on armenian chanal yesterday, where they were interviewing a few azeri journalists in yerevan. one of them was telling that he used to write some of the official letters from the president. he was admitting that a lot of time they wouldn't even read the proposal letters that they would get from armenia or international committies regarding the artsax conflict settlement. they would just write rejection letters. he was telling how once they even lost the proposal letter and he had to make up things without even knowing the content of the letter and write rejection letter.
  23. don't listen to these guys, Satana. since you've started it, you gotta finish it properly... tease her a little more. tell her a little about your culture, your afghan culture... invite her to a prayer together... until she's completely mad... then go back to normal armenian state.
  24. es Astvats lav charets ekav. hesa saghis ughigh dzhoghq a ugharkelu.
