Here we spoke about Dr. Kassis of Aleppo. http://hyeforum.com/index.php?showtopic=12682&page=3#entry310514 I may have told this story, I will tell it again. Our director of the Glee Club was Mr. Weaver(RIP). He was a lover of horses, and was a close friend of Dr. Kassis, just as he was good friends with the daughters of Dr. Altounian, who in their own were lovers of horses. ** As usual Mr. (Rev.) weaver took us to Carol his friends (mostly Armenian) on Christmas Eve. At Dr. Kassis Hospital , when we were singing For Unto Us a Child Is Born**** stopped. A very pregnant lady came down very laboriously and climbed up the stairs to the hospital. We all stopped singeing and in an awe we quietly chuckled, so did our choirmaster. What a beautiful sight, specially on the eve of Tsnound. ** BTW I was a featured singer at the Glee Club. When Brigitte Altounian married an Armenian man , we sang her favorite Jesu Joy*** at her wedding, at the Karsun Mangants Church. *** http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6OgZCCoXWc **** Phaeton http://hetq.am/static/news/b/2012/03/11414.jpg http://shirakcentre.org/images/stories/faeton.jpg http://shirakcentre.org/images/stories/faeton.jpg http://hyeforum.com/index.php?showtopic=39360&page=2entry289717

Kurdoghluian? This is an Armenian Family name? How can we blame HH Aram Keshishian when He has a furkish family name as well? Be that He is a citizen of Lebanon, the least He can do is amend his surname to the Lebanese version Kassis-ian. Keshsish is a pejorative word from Assyrian-perso-furkish that means priest. In Aleppo there was a very famous, a much loved and respected physician obstetrician Dr. Kassis. I think he was a Hin Haleptsi, yet very much Armenian.** 　 http://hayernaysor.am/%D5%A1%D6%80%D5%A1%D5%B4-%D5%A1-%D5%AF%D5%A1%D5%A9%D5%B8%D5%B2%D5%AB%D5%AF%D5%B8%D5%BD-%D5%BA%D5%A1%D6%80%D5%A3%D5%A5%D6%82%D5%A1%D5%BF%D6%80%D5%A5%D6%81-%D5%BF%D5%A7%D6%80-%D5%A5%D6%82-%D5%BF%D5%AB/ ** http://imad_moustapha.blogs.com/my_weblog/2007/09/my-summer-vacat.html Next day, I took Rafif to show her Dr. Iskandar Kassis’s hospital, where my mother gave birth to me and my siblings, our old house in al-Sabeel, and my grand mother’s old house behind Faisal’s street, in addition to my favorite building in Aleppo: Villa Rose. We ended our trip to Aleppo buying almond’s pastries from the famous Azrak’s shop in al-Minchieh before heading back to Damascus. http://daughterofthewind.org/horses-of-dr-iskandar-qassis/ PS. I had a schoolmate in Aleppo whose family name was Kurdoghluian. I think his name was Zaven.

Karapetyan set countless Soviet and world swimming records on his way to dozens of major titles in his career. But those achievements pale against the heroism he showed in a well-chronicled episode in 1976, when he saved 20 passengers whose bus had plunged into a reservoir in Yerevan. He subsequently expressed regret that he had been unable to save more of the 92 people aboard the bus, which he broke into by kicking through the back window in 10 meters of murky water. Sadly, Karapetyan is nowhere to be found on the Sochi 2014 website's shortlist of "Torchbearers."

　 http://www.rferl.org/content/russia-olympic-torch-kremlin-out/25128795.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=f5M5lBpHahY It is an Olympic moment that Russians would just as soon forget. In the video, former Soviet world swimming champion Shavarsh Karapetyan (more on him later) is taken aback and looks around quizzically when the torch flickers out as he passes through the Kremlin gates in the nationally televised ceremony. A few steps later, after frantic gesturing from Karapetyan, an unidentified man steps forward to reignite the torch with a cigarette lighter

Why are you talking turkey now? This is October, turkey season is in another 2 months, in November, to be exact , Thursday, 11/28/2013 this year. Are you talking about this turkey?

Dear Gamo, obviously you’re not a Good Christian. You no undsand. Here you are talking to the new messiah, the second coming. You don’t understand that this is a proposal of marriage made in heaven.

Dear MAN, or woMAN, are you a wolf in sheep's clothing, a turk in Armenian dress? We have seen many of your hallucinations, armo-Geddonian and Apo-Calypsian, the headless horsemen et al. Please quit that wacky tabacky and start smoking what the rest of us do.

WHAT IN GEHENA ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? Please tell us where you buy those drugs. At the store called REVELATION/HALLUCINATION?? Where they sell HEMP products?

OK! Why is it that the Christian must always convert out and not visa versa? Maybe our house theologian, MAN who seems to know everything about prophesy/schmiphresy, armageddon and apo-Calypso can answer it. Is it time we reverse the process, declare fatwas and condemn to death all those apostates?** Remember the fatwa against Salman Rushdi and others for having insulted islam? **Apostasy.

Is it like Washington being a suburb of London, just because amerikanos espik anglese. Or is it when the Persians learned to speak in the lingo of the Koran? Is Yerevan a suburb of Moscow, since many there espik russky?

Yes indeed. Let those camel jockeys in doha extract sand, not oil and wipe their a*’s with sand-paper, not oil soaked dollar bills. Those kelb ibn kelbs, bin ladens . When did they learn to speak? Who discovered and dug for oil in those deserts? Not those so called pantless eyrabs. BTW, even is the Syrians call their country SAR, Syria is not an arabic country. Its like when Senegalese speak French. Is Senegal a French country?

When is the last time he visited that Muslim Armenian enclave aka Hamshen? What language die they speak? French, furkish or ermenije?

Once again our einstein, Eisenhower Aznavour has spoken, sung from the other end. Which “muslim Armenians” is he talking about? Which “muslim Armenians” have formed a line, knocking at the doors of Yerevan to be taken in? Is he talking about the Hamshenites? How many of them have or planning to move to Yerevan. Show us. Have the Hmshenites invited him to give a concert in Hamshen/Rize to sing Yis ko ghiymetn chim giti, I know not your worth? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zb_MneYlVo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZdf3CTPcus&list=RD221zb_MneYlVo === http://www.panorama.am/en/society/2013/10/01/aznavour/

Yes, indeed, Where is our friend from Aleppo. It is worrisome. I read somewhere that all communications, phone, internet etc are off. Seems like, despite the urging by those cheerleaders like erbokhan, Mr. Obamian has set aside his plans of bombing the crap out of Syria. Yet, that other clown notanyahudi is still beating the drums of war over Iran. Seems like his Salome tambourines are falling on deaf ears as well. If only those saudi and qatari dogs stop barking….

ԿԱՆԵՓ HEMP Cannabis See the post by out friend MAN- -“Armenia to follow Calif. on HEMP???” http://hyeforum.com/index.php?showtopic=54790&page=1entry310250 The Armenian word for Hemp is ԿԱՆԵՓ/Kanep. Below in the Aramatakan, the weed,/plant is primarily treated as a source of fiber, be it fine as linen or coarse as rope. As to how “hemp” ended up as Kanep in the Armenian? http://www.nayiri.com/imagedDictionaryBrowser.jsp?dictionaryId=7&pageNumber=1218 http://nayiri.com/imagedDictionaryBrowser.jsp?dictionaryId=6&pageNumber=1016 Ajarian meanders around until finally he comes to my impression of the word , its relation to Cannabis. Even then he does not connect it to the modern day connection of it to Marijuana, except, at one point he does mention that one time, before the advent of wine and other alcoholic beverages, hemp was used to make a “liquor” as an anesthetic and analgesic, -հակցաւ (pain relieving) medicine.** The Armenian word for Hemp is ԿԱՆԵՓ/Kanep. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_(drug) To not forget that in Arabic the weed is known as hashish, which simply means grass, weed. And see the connection of hashashin to assassin. Please, don’t feel obligated to respond. I am just, talking to myself in the mirror, learning and teaching myself. http://blog.faboverfifty.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/mirroronthewall.jpeg In school we learned that there are three fibrous plants Voush, Flax http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D5%BE%D5%B8%D6%82%D5%B7 Kanep http://hy.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D4%BF%D5%A1%D5%B6%D5%A5%D6%83 And Ktavat***.. Seems like this is a repetition of one or the other. Except that we know Ktav means Linen/Linseed.. My suspicion is justified, It the same as Voush. See below from Armatakan and Batsatrakan. http://hy.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D4%BF%D5%BF%D5%A1%D5%BE%D5%A1%D5%BF Linseed.

J http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szaojBxz-4Q Note that I spelled the word with the letter Կ K, not the furkified Ղ GH. That happened when the furkish G turned to GH.Or visa versa, when the word for door gapu turned to ghapu/kapu, or was it the other way around.. http://www.yerakouyn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/ghapama.jpg http://www.yerakouyn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/ghapama.jpg http://www.yerakouyn.com/?p=40014 Here we see that stupid Wiki say that Ghapama is from the furkish.

Again. http://nayiri.com/imagedDictionaryBrowser.jsp?dictionaryId=6&pageNumber=1333 Ajarian to the rescue. Where he says that ԿԱՓ /kap is a native Armenian word meaning Cover, as in kaparich./cap.cover, that man, including the furks have borrowed from us. http://www.nayiri.com/imagedDictionaryBrowser.jsp?dictionaryId=7&pageNumber=1267 The only furkish element is the addition of the MA suffix Ghapa, jus as in the case of the purely Armenian KHASH becoming furkish with the addition of the LA and MA suffixes, as in khashlama, and tol-MA. *** About Hpya, See #2 here; http://hyeforum.com/index.php?showtopic=24759&hl=hoya **** Also see here that the word in that other non-language says that it is a coverd lamb stew. No reference to the Pumpkin Delicacy.. .

It sounds Arabic. Very little info. Here is one that may explain. One name that repeatedly comes up is Jefferson Farfan, a Peruvian football player. Last name origins & meanings:

Please, please again. Madam Minister Hranush DON'T EVER USE THAT FURKISH WORD OJAKH, NO MATTER IN WHAT CONTEXT. Speaking of which. Why do we have a Ministry of Diaspora. Does it mean we have two nations, one ROA with its foreign minster and one for that other nation Diaspora, with its own ministry? Was not Simon Vratsian the Minister of Foreign Affairs?

Too bad! Or is it a blessing that Daniel was murdered, he did not live before he could advance to a Topic of Դօլմային Երգը/Dolmayin Yerg@. Is it because he knew dolma is a furkish word? Or, for that matter, he did not compose an opus about kebab either.

It is SargIs, (neither the stanbull) Sarkiss. When will we once again start speaking Armenian and not name our children Sergey Sergeyevich., or Nourhan Nourhanoghlu. Is it like this Sergei http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergei_Parajanov Once again. How many Armenians are left in the Yerevan Province? It seems there are more so called Armenians in Moscow than in the entire so called country Armenia. Aside. What is the language, beside the Grabar Patarak, in that cathedral in Moscow. I n what language do they deliver the sermon, and what they call God//Astuats? бог German GOT. hopefully not the furkish “geot”. How the Russians write and pronounce Ejmiatsin? And, how do they in stanbull pray to God? allah? Allahmuz or erkinqn es? To not forget that in the English speaking communities the Lord’s Prayer Hayr Mer is known as Our Father. A friend, a deacon for over 40 years, thought that the “yeghitsi/to be” was a typo, that it meant “yegeghetsi”. So much about churches in Moscow, Kamchatka and Timbuktu.
