obviously, this new church is echmiadzin oriented...not antilias.. i like it, it looks cool, it's nicer then my catholic church, ill probably convert, just so that i would get to go to that church...mind you the catholic church is closer to my house. AGBU is not affiliated to any political party, though many arf members see it as a breeding nest for armenakans... im with the AGBU, and am not affiliated to anything, i am also from the nareg catholic community...so.. hmm, one qualm though: the more churches we build, in several locations, the more we spread out. i mean, the armenians are based around their church...and when there are churches all over, we don't see each other as much...but oh well

yes, it's quite sad.. i remember that when i was in artsakh, i was told that there were entire villages that had to be abandonned because of the mining... and i could see from afar that there were trees in full bloom of apricots, but no one could go get them because they were surrounded by mines...the fruits would simply rot..and fall

hey knows ill repopulate with em all hehe

times like these make me wish i was an azeri policeman...(scratch the 'azeri' part).. but i mean, honestly, you guys can admit it.. while watching the cops plow into the protest, didn't you wish you were charging into a croud of azeris? with armour, and a stick?... ok quebecer, what do i not know of? please, quench my thirst from your deep pool of knowledge

history is history, but just because it is history is it a reason to forget it?..it obviously is for you...since attaturk changed your whole history... the diaspora will always be strong, ....and if armenians have survived 5 thousand years, they can survive another 10

well they make it easier for us.. they are all turks, no matter what border.

what are you guys talking about... these people are tremendous artists.. i mean, they are the only ones on the planet who can represent, stupidity, mental retardation, lack of musical sense, cultural inferiority and much more, in a single dance.. i mean..look at the symbolism.. these guys are amazing. wow...i could barely stand one of the videos, you had to post another one eh garmavor? what evil have you unleashed into the world? you have opened the pandora's box of turkism

true... obviously armenia survived because of the armenians in armenia, but we cannot just throw away the fact that armenia primarely survived because of the armenians in the diaspora

it's called...franco-neo-bolchevism

pretty much, even after the soviet supreme council voted to keep the lands in armenia... stalin wanted to woo the turks.. turks being the whores that they are, pleasing both the US and the USSR

arpa, what is your point? armenians have even more of a reason to go to the fatherland...we are ethnically, and religiously armenian, and, unlike the jews who speak different languages, we speak the same...

actually, the number is around 3 million, the lowest estimate is 2.900 000 we don't do any 'trade' with the sheep... we take all that is ours... if the turks can take out 3 million armenians from turkey, we can take out less then a hundred thousand. anyways, once we take the land over, they will all flee, and we will not have to deport them

Hellektor i know that we have had our differences, but i have to say i agree with you on most of your points but yes, if they are sheep, then arn't we human? do we not accuse them of being more barbaric and mongoloid then men? are we not christians? is it justifiable to kill women, children and elderly because they do it?...don't worry i do not claim that we did such things, but what i am trying to point out is that we are better then them, and we do not have to be like them to win. lionheart... please, do not, ever, post on this forum that we have the same bloodline with turks and azeris. i am not ignorant, and i know that turks have assimilated many armenians as well as other cultures, and that many turkish hordes have crossed into our borders across the years, thought that changes the genetic makeup of the region, it is still very slight. turks are from central asia, so are their sheep cousins. armenians are aryans, or indo-europeans, or what ever you want to call it. armenian genetic makeup is much closer to georgian and greek then to sheep and cows.

hell bloody yah

Impossible? rien est impossible... mon plan dans la vie, une fois l'université terminée, c'est vol sens unique vers Yérévan au temps de tes grandparents, il'y avait qu'une arménie soviétique, une arménie sous le joug des armées rouges, des ogres staliniens. aujourd'hui, nous avons un pays, même si ce n'est pas tout ce qu'on nous a volé, c'est un début. on ne peut pas s'assoir et attendre que qu'elqun nous rende notre terre, c'est à nous de le faire. chaque action que nous pausons est un pas vers l'arménie que nous connaissons par nos grandparents. j'ai bien dit que l'Idéal est un retour à la terre natale, mais je suis un réaliste, je sais bien que 5 millions d'arméniens ne vont pas simplement se déplacer pour réétablir les liens avec leurs 3 millions de confrères d'ici au lendemain. si tu veux mon avis, au moins visite ta terre, c'est ce que j'ai fais à plusieures reprises, tu verras, tu tomberas amoureuse de ta terre. depuis la première fois que j'ai foulé le sol d'arménie, il ne s'écoule pas un jour où je n'y pense pas. peux-tu lire et écrire l'arménien?

ce n'est pas correcte, malgré que c'est connu, plus ou moins, que les Hayastansis peuvent être condéscendants evers les autres arméniens. il y a deux ans, j'étais à bordeaux pour le marriage de ma cousine, Aude Terjanian. sa mère est francaise, et chez elle, on ne parle pas l'arménien, tout ce qu'elle a d'arménien chez elle est son nom de famille. à son marriage, qui, premièrement, n'était même pas religieux, il n'y avais rien d'arménien. elle avait mème invité une famille de turcs. ILS LUI ONT MÊME FAIT UNE DANCE TURQUE EN SON HONNEUR. as-tu vu le film, "voyage en Arménie"? surement, tu te rendra compte que sa fille, même si elle dance l'arménien, n'est qu'un ¼ arménienne. Anna, l'hétoine, est moitié arménienne, mais ne parle pas l'arménien et ne se sent pas arménienne. c'est ce qui est malheureux à mon avis en France, les armeniens là bas sont si bien intégrés dans la societé française, si séculaires, "libérés" et socialistes, qu'ils ne sont plus arméniens. la langue arménienne est presque aussi importante que la culture,l'histoire, et tout cela. ma grandmère est armenienne de France, et souvant avec la famille, nous palrons plus de français que d'arménien. c'est souvant moi qui fais l'effort de faire conversation en arménien. tu devrais faire autant. envoye tes enfants à l'ecole en armenien, parle leurs en armenien à la maisons...de toutes façons, ils parlent le français partout ailleurs. evidemment, l'idéal pour les communautés arméniennes autour du globe est de retourner à la mère patrie, un jour. ces temps si, cet idéal est de plus en plus proche de la réalité. aujourd'hui, nous avons une arménie libre. à mon avis, chaque arménien qui vit dans un pays étranger dois faire un choix: "suis-je arménien ou Canadien (ou français, ou allemand, ou américain...)" j'estère, evidemment, que la réponse sera "je suis arménien", c'est la réponse que je me suis donné. il faut comprendre, que pour rester arménien, il y a des sacrifices à faire, le sacrifice ultime est de retourner à notre terre. car la partie a besoin des ses fils et filles. c'est très difficile de guarder son identité quand nous vivont séparés de nos conpatriotes, entourés par une majorité...........

hmmm i don't think that ethnicity was the cause for support for france, infact, i noticed alot of french canadian montrealers were actually supporting england. as was i btw, since ireland did not make the cut... btw, that site is crap...

zureder... ROA is properly integrating with the world, even through your blocade. one thing that armenia has over you with europe is it's western-ish culture and religion...this, in some way gets europeans to see armenia in a different eye, then islamist middle-eastern turkey...even though you have a direct border with europe and that is what is similar between US france and armenia... mostly christianity... im not saying that because we are christian we are united, for as you know, france is quite secular, but what i mean to say is that our cultures have many points in common.... so let me ask you, how is turkey planning to integrate?

sure, but for example, though i live in montreal, i hardly ever find myself speaking french to my armenian friends, english or armenian. though this is a theory, i think we must consider a few facts here. first, most armenians living in the states have been there for a couple generations, when i was younger, i went to the AGBU camp Noubar in New York, though i am only half irish, i could speak, read and write a good armenian, unlike most people around me, after a while, the language gets lost. second, is the community. the armenian community in montreal is much closer, and lives around it's churches and cultural centres, and almost all of us live in laval. this is lesser the case in toronto, where we notice that most armenian youths speak more english to each other. in los angeles, for example, there are alot of armenians who live close together, that helps the language and culture survive. united we stand, divided we fall right?

i loved the movie.. and it was also alittle interesting to learn about yezidi kurds in armenia..since we do not learn too much about them

i had to study hamlet for english... and that teacher completely turned me off from the play.. i saw the olivier version, quite terrible, long, and badly done, i actually slept through 2 hours of it
