Where did I see a video where that erbokhan says all Genocide Documents are bogus?
We also remember when he labeled the jewish Palestinian saga as “genocide”.
He seems to be so fluent in reciting the G word except....
Yes Yervant, that clown is the comedian of the millenium and he has won the “fickle finger”award;
wrong finger!

Please! I mean no disrespect, only admiration.
This is all in fun.
(See post # 3 above.)
As we speak Pres. O’Bamia/Obamian is in Ghana, his ancestral homeland (?), question mark because his Father was a Kenyan not Ghanaian.
Regardless of what many sites say that okra is a native of East Africa, like Ethiopia etc. I believe that it is from West Africa, like Ghana etc. Why do I say that? See why the capital city of Ghana is named Accra.
Here is one site that kind of confirms it “okra-Nkruma“;
http://mykofi.blogspot.com/2008/08/okra-nk...a-original.html
Kwame Nkruma was the first president of independent Ghana;

One of the most common Armenian parlor games is/was the question of what the Armenian word for bamia is. It turns out, it is bamia. I just learned a new word..

How disgusting!
Do Armenians know anything about the noble arts like literature, music etc, and the more noble sports like running, jumping, marathon, ice dancing and gymnastics?
How savagely primitive can we be that we glorify the likes of darchinian et al whose only "ärt" is how to pound the opponent at the head.
Where were they when the furk was cutting our heads?

The likes of Tsvetana looking in from the outside may still believe that we are ONE NATION, with one agenda.
Why do we still have an Artsakh and a Yerevan Province?
Why do we still have a Diaspora and a Homeland?
Why do we still have an AAA and an ANCA?
Why do we still have Hnchak, Dashnak and Ramkavar?
Why do we still have Apostolic, Catholic and Protestant communities?
Why do we still have a Kilikian and Ejmiatsin Catholicates/ Diocese/ Prelacy?
How many ways can we divide?
Look at those other savage idiots. They have an ATA/American furkish Association, ONE association, and their tails who have AAA/American azbooby Association.
How much more stupid can we be?
When the average bloke in Armenia does not know where the next loaf of bread is coming from, we here in the Diaspora wasting all of our resources on “recognition” at the US Congress. Just imagine what those wasted dollars would do to a hungry orphan and an out of work father.
Which of the above “dinosaurs” will prevail?
Which will boast with “I said it first, I did it”?
With all this “Ï did it” mentality, let me be the first to say- The way things are going we will have, neither Hnchaks, Dashnaks or Ramkavars, not a Diocese or a Prelacy, not a Diaspora or a Homeland when Yerevan becomes a suburb of ankara or baku.
The likes of Tsvetana may still think that we are ONE NATION.
If I were Tsvvetana I would say- SHAME ON YOU!!!
In the words of that “great philosopher” of modern day Rodney King-
Rodney King's famous question "Can't we all get along?" after his caught-on-tape ruthless beating by Los Angeles police officers sparked devastating citywide race riots in the early 1990s rings as true as ever today.

I knew the armenian name of macaroni since I was a child, as my father was pleased to tell us.
But the other names in italian and their origin I did not know It is very interesting.
I have many Italian friends. I will tell them.
Many Italians immigrated in France around 1920, they came from very poor countries. They had nothing.
Today they have the most beautiful houses.

How long did we talk when the Pope died?
Is not “enough is enough”? How harebrained can our media be?
Finally a man with real balls speaks up.
Yes, how much do we talk about our beautiful boys and girls dying in the deserts of Iraq and Afghanistan? How long do we talk about our teachers, firemen and policemen who are being laid off?

Did you know that Vera/Verita is the Latin of Iskouhi, beside that it also means "green"? Which, in this case the Armenian would be "dalar/Դալար/verdant".
-
Yes. Describing a color by an object rather than using a concrete name for the hue seems adaptive and transitional.
Additionally Arpa, you mention our beloved Ծիրանի for the color orange. Yet in identical structure to նարնջագոյն, Ծիրանի/Tsinari also literally employs the name of a fruit to identify its color. This off course is the case in most languages. But I wonder whether a term independent of the produce association has ever existed?
Եւ հարգելի Johannes, սակայն ի՞նչ է մէր կանաչ գոյնանունի բառարմատը:
Yes Zartonk. I had missed your this question.
You are right, that both orange and the Apricot are fruits. If we go into the etymology of the latter we will see that it is common with the Pahlavi “zar” to mean gold.
We can easily recite the colors of our flag as “Red Blue and Gold/Կարմիր Կապոյտ եւ Ոսկի”.
(An aside. As to why our royal colors are “äpricot” look at the dress colors of the Buddhist elite and Monks. Some call it “saffron“. Consider the Arabic “safra“ to mean yellow)

Zargarian/Զարկարեան, which simply means goldsmith/ոսկերիչ
A google search will point to

It is so tempting to think that the name Zaruhi is fashioned after te Ruszian “Czar/tsar/ցար”, Yet---I have known women named Voski/Ոսկի:
474. ZARO Is the short form of the name Zaruhi which is used independently (see Zaruhi). 475. ZARUHI From Persian zar "gold" and Armenian uhi female suffix. It corresponds to Arm name Voski.

Another mystery is the Armenian surname Oskanian/Voskanian/Ոսկանեան. I am so tempted to assume that it has to do with gold/ոսկի: Does it make sense that Vardan Oskanian’s relatives in Aleppo are/were all goldsmiths?.

I recall a letter written in 1911 by Daniel Varoujan from Perknig [his birthplace near Sebastia] to his friend, a student in Belgium: “Dear Pierre, I’ve been married for two years already. My wife is named Araxie, she’s a fair-haired beauty whom I have a bucolic love for. In addition, I have a one-year-old daughter, who’s endowed with a precocious intelligence. She can already say %u218 (հայրիկ)hayrig,’ that word fills me with indescribable joy. I’ve dedicated a poem to her, titled (Վարուժնակիս) %u218 To my Varoujanig.’ That’s the name of my little angel, whom I’m so terribly fond of.”
Varoujan often used to put his little girl on his lap and recite that poem:
Aghvor, aghvor, aghvor vartn im Karunis,
Vor srdis vra patsvetsar,
Yev kezi hed patsir hokis vshdaheghts,
Nor yerazi me baidzar;.
A lovely, lovely, lovely spring rose,
You bloomed on my heart,
Relieving my troubled heart,
Becoming a bright new dream;
The firstborn child of the great poet, Veronica Varoujan Safrasian, is now 96 years old, living in the United States. She recently published a book of reproductions of postcards kept in her family album. The Armenian texts of the cards, which were mainly holiday greetings, were translated into English by the well-known translator Aris Sevag. Varoujan wrote 16 of the 26 cards published, when he was a student, first in Venice, then in Ghent, and sent them to his mother, father and brothers. Thanks to [the fine state of the cards' preservation and] the high quality of the printing, his handwriting that’s now over 100 years old is still quite legible.
The Easter card sent by Varoujan to his mother Takouhi in 1908 from Ghent is particularly moving:
“Sweet Mother, Christ is risen from the dead. God willing, next Easter we’ll color eggs red together. I’m hale and hearty. I have a new suit and my belly is full. Don’t worry. If there is something missing, that is you. It won’t be too long now. Pray that I pass my exams this year so that I can come to Perknig in the summer and kiss your two hands, your two eyes, which get no sleep from watching over me. Hugging you, jan jigger mayrig [my dear mother], I remain. Your son, Daniel.”
He often tried to match the contents of the cards to their illustrations, and even created his message in poetic form. On the front of a card showing swallows on a telephone wire (see accompanying photo), which he sent to his father Krikor, Varoujan wrote a poem entitled “Farewell”:
Hayr, art yes al dzidzernag,
M’yegha bantukhd, dar Asdvadz,
Vor tarnayi voghch, usadz,
Poons hayreni cherm, kaghtsrig.
Mnas parov, hayr im,
Pajanman keri m’e vortit.
Father, now I too have become an emigrant swallow. I pray to God that I may return an educated man, safe and sound, to my nesting ground warm and sweet. Stay well, my father. I’m a prisoner of separation.
The last card sent by father to son is dated January 7, 1915 (January 20, according to the new calendar). It is interesting to note the latter’s address on the card: Mr. Daniel Varoujan (Tchiboukkear), Principal S. K. L. [sourp Krikor Lusavorich, or St. Gregory the Illuminator] School, Yeshil St. No. 1, Pera, Constantinople.
In response to his son’s New Year’s greeting card, the father also sent greetings, promising to “always pray for your health” and wishing “may the Lord keep you happy, together with my lovely grandchildren.” In addition, he expressed hope “for God to grant total peace to the entire world” in the New Year.
What happened just three months after this exchange of greetings is universally known. I have quite another reason for writing about this album. When I go abroad, I often leaf through such family documen’s-turned-relics. In particular, I see libraries of old Armenian books and always worry over the fate of such riches, in light of the fact that even the grandchildren of Diasporan Armenian writers, not to mention their grown-up great-grandchildren, don’t read Armenian. It’s easy to say, “Armenia is the final homeland of any given national value, its rightful heir is the Armenian people.” However, carrying it out, judging from our cultural values turning to dust in the Diaspora, is difficult. This is so, despite the fact that we have embassies throughout the world representing the Republic of Armenia, and cultural attaches working in them;.

In the night of the 1st January, 1972, while the artist was in DjaDjur with his family, his Yerevan studio was burnt down together with a large portion of his best canvases selected for a one-man show. Many of the artist's works no longer exist and are reproduced in this homepage from photographs taken earlier from the G.Igitian's book "Minas"
None of the biographies mention that Minas died in 1975 as a result of automobile accident.

See the highlights above. Is it time that we finally learn about the last days of Khachatur??
Maybe sometime, someone will tell us the truth about Paruyr’s last days. Not to forget, Bakunts, Charents, Mahari and Silva’s father.

Have you ever wondered why Hayastan is also known as Armenia/Armaniyya?
Some idiots call our Homeland “ermenistan”.
The latest airline disaster involved an Yemeni airplane.

(Arabic: الخطوط الجوية اليمنية)Read the above Arabic letters- Al-khtout al jawouwiya al Ymeniyya, to mean The Yemeni Airways.
Some news media used the word ”ÿemenian”.
Even they have enough sense to not use the furkifying “ji”, unlike this idiot.

Yemeni is a slipper/shoe made of goat/sheepskin, usually red.

Մէջբերում.
Travellers who have been to Southern Italy tell us that the villages near Naples very much resemble ours. The broad, rough back of Mousa Dagh (i.e., Mount Moses), known in Arabic as Jibal-al-Ahmar, rises up eastward behind us. Every gorge and crag of our beloved mountain is known, to our boys and men.Օհան, տես վերեւ ուր Պատ. Անդրեասեանը ասէ թէ Արաբները այդ Լեռը կոչէին Jibal**(Jabal) Al Ahmar, Red Mountian/Կարմիր լեռ: Իրաւ է?
**Jibal is the plural of jabal, just as the town of Jibeil in Lebanon.

The latest buzz is about the so called Blue Book by Viscount Bryce, the launching of the furkish translation;
http://www.reporter.am/go/article/2009-07-...l-is-challenged
The Blue Book;
http://net.lib.byu.edu/~rdh7/wwi/1915/bryce/a00tc.htm
Here we will see where Franz Werfel gathered the material for his novel. Tetimony by Rev. Andreasian. Come to think of it, I had already posted it here, but as above I did not make the connection to the Blue Book; http://hyeforum.com/index.php?showtopic=16449&hl=werfel
http://net.lib.byu.edu/~rdh7/wwi/1915/bryce/a15.htm
PS. I have had the book for quite sometime but I could not make the connection to the “Blue Book”, published in London 1916. Judging from the age of myy copy it is probably from the first edition. Come to think of it, the book cover is BLUE.
----
Add- In the book, on page 522 there is a footnote by the editor where it says that Rev. Anreasian’s account is most probably the correct one that the saga began on July 13, not July 30, and that the rescue happened on Sep. 10th, that the Sep. 12 date given is in fact their arrival at Port Said, Egypt. According to which the saga lasted 53 days. (Not that fabled number 40).

ROBERT FISK'S WORLD: YOU WON'T FIND ANY LESSONS IN UNITY IN TH
in Events & Action Alerts
Posted · Edited by ArpA
Seems like the Palestinian “pen” is even duller than the Armenian one.
I am amazed that Robert Fisk has not been crucified yet.
Some time ago it was suggested that the modern Palestinians are one and the same as the biblical Philistines, it is so obvious that even a blind man can see. Why do they call their homeland “falästeen/filisteen” فلستین?
That notion was quashed so readily, not only by them but the entire world to never be mentioned again. I forget what their argument was but it no other than when furks call those … “incidents”, a collateral damage of war.
Who are the master LIARS? Who taught whom how to LIE?
We read in that “book of lies” the so called Ten Commandments, see # 16 below.
Do they even believe in the so called “commandments” plagiarized from Hamurabbi, and actually practice it, like “kill”, “steal” and “lie”? When they believe in that book of lies I will too.
