Arpa I want to ask why u say that srika word was adapted from Asurian or Aramaic I think it’s the other way around. Actually you can find Armenian word traces in many languages, Hindu, English, French even Chinese. In the Anglo-Saxon chronicle it says “ Part 1: A.D. 1-748 The island Britain is 800 miles long, and 200 miles broad and there are in the island five nations; English, Welsh, (or British) Scottish, Pictish, and Latin. The first inhabitants were the Britons, who cam from Armenia and first peopled Britain southward……” Read Movses Khorenaci to know accurate Armenian History I am sure you have read Vahagni snund@. I love Byron and unlike the popular scientific beliefs of today he wrote about Armenia & Armenians I already posed this letter but I want to post some of it again.. “It would be difficult, perhaps, to find the annals of a nation less stained with crimes than those of the Armenians, whose virtues have been those of peace and their vices those of compulsion. But whatever may have been their destiny - and it has been better - wathever it may be in future, their country must ever be one of the most interesting on the globe; and perhaps their language only requires to be more studied to become more attractive. If the Scriptures are rightly understood it was in Armenia that Paradise was placed, Armenia, which has paid as dearly as the descendants of Adam for that fleeting participation of its soil in the happiness if Him who was created from its dust. It was in Armenia that the flood first abated. and the dove alighted. But with the disappearance of Paradise itself may be dated almost the unhappiness of the country, for though long a powerful kingdom, it was scarcely ever an independent one, and the satraps of Persia and the *****s of Turkey have alike desolated the region wheri God created man in his own image".

Domino out of all the people you are the only one who embraces this movie with so much enthusiasm; come to think of it I wonder I you are Egoyan himself or maybe his wife?

Yes Nairi but everyone knew that Parajanov was gay… besides at least there is some substance in some of his movies. Domino just because I don’t share your view on the movie does not mean I didn’t get the movie. There was nothing to understand KINON SHAT TUYL E! you are trying to make it sound interesting by complicated words one of those modern intellectuals who look at an empty canvas with a red dot in a middle and start analyzing what a masterpiece it is but in reality it’s a scam not an art.

It’s great that this movie brought some awareness about Armenian genocide but it brought in a way of mediocre, lukewarm and very week. First time after almost 90 years and this is the movie Armenians come up with to show the world? Phleaseee look what movies Jews make.. every single movie about Jewish genocide has been Oscar worthy. Yes I agree it was a joke. Besides Charles Aznavurs performance specially the line about how much turks hate Armenians, few famous lines and the Scenery of Van and Ararat the whole movie was a big SHILA PLAF. You want to make a movie about Arshil Gorky and his suffering make the whole movie about him and genocide. Atom Egoyan he doesn’t even speak Armenian he doesn’t know anything about Armenia, he puts few duduk peaces in the movie and he thinks he has created a masterpiece. He is trying too hard to be like Parajanov.. At least Parajanov had some talent he has none. I wonder why in his every movie he is always inclined to show something homosexual. He always casts his wife in his movies it seems that the movie was made for her in mind or perhaps the movie was his wife’s idea it seems she is more Armenian. The “massacre” scenes were so comical I wondered if Egoyan is making fun of Armenians or if he is trying to hard to suck up to Turks or Americans. It’s a laughing matter and you wonder why Siskel did not review it? In the movie el Turkish, el French, el English, el Armenian languages, el marijuana, el cocaine el homosexualism el I don’t know what and topped off he made Armenians look total hiks by making one of the main characters sleeping with his stepsister, and the sex scene was that meant to attract more sales? Anyways suppose to make us sound more modern and Zargacac we will agree that it was a complicated peace.

Arpa I agree with you that Jews and Armenians differ with their history. But Abraham and Moses a myth? If that is what you think & I do not know your beliefs in God. Since we are discussing Armenian history..what about Christianity? Wasn’t Christianity that played a big role in Armenian history? Then it seems that you are contradicting Armenian history and Christianity since it is based on the Bible.. Abraham, Moses, Jesus?. Concluding that not only Armenians being the first Christian nation but half of the globe are morons.

Vava He actually did manage to learn Armenian and translated an original Armenian Manuscript of Paul the apostle to English. I love his poetry and have great respect for him because of his thoughts on Armenia...Actually I was contemplating same thoughts before I red the above letter… alas the world does not acknowledge Armenia the way Byron did.

Barev Bolorin...Here is part of Byron's letter that I was reading and thought to share it with everyone. "...a noble nation, which has partaken of the proscription and bondage of the Jews and of the Greeks, without the sullenness of the former or the servility of the letter. This people has attained riches without usury, and all the honours that can be awarded to slavery without intrigue. But they have long occupied, nevertheless, a part of "the House of Bondage", who has lately multiplied her many mansions. It would be difficult, perhaps, to find the annals of a nation less stained with crimes than those of the Armenians, whose virtues have been those of peace and their vices those of compulsion. But whatever may have been their destiny - and it has been better - wathever it may be in future, their country must ever be one of the most interesting on the globe; and perhaps their language only requires to be more studied to become more attractive. If the Scriptures are rightly understood it was in Armenia that Paradise was placed, Armenia, which has paid as dearly as the descendants of Adam for that fleeting participation of its soil in the happiness if Him who was created from its dust. It was in Armenia that the flood first abated. and the dove alighted. But with the disappearance of Paradise itself may be dated almost the unhappiness of the country, for though long a powerful kingdom, it was scarcely ever an independent one, and the satraps of Persia and the *****s of Turkey have alike desolated the region wheri God created man in his own image".

Inch Ecanomia Hayastan@ uni>? vochinch, voch humnk voch artadrank, null natural resources. And to tell the truth what is Armenia compared to the world? So starting from Cognac to Hydro electricity everything is sold out. Wishful thinking – If Armenia had billion gallons of Oil then US would have recognized Armenian Genocide, bought all our oil and then everything would have been much much better.

MosJan! GREAT since half of the industry in Armenia was privatized by other nations half is going to belong to Russians. Lav President Unenk Hayastanum, Turkeri Achk@ luyc... Like it says on the wall of Yerevan Airport - VERGIN GNACOG@ TOG LUYCE HANGCNI!

Sometimes I like to visit and read what the Armenian web intellectuals are talking about. And how contradicting sometimes few of you are. First you trash your own race in some of your comments and then go on saying MENK MER AZG@ MER PATIV@ .I know that Armenians are distinct with their beginning, art culture, history. We as a national produced geniuses of writers, philosophers, artists, historians, poets, great kings & our world of little magnificent Armenia has suffered and always is thorn apart. But you know most of men here VOR MEC MEC BRTUM EK te why Armenian girl gets with a black man? Why are you surprised? How many Armenian men from Yerevan would go to Moscow to find them a Russian women? Its known that Russan women love our hairy Armenian men. Armenian women/men marry Russians, Greeks, Germans, English, French, Jews, Ezdi, kurd and even marry Muslims and you are not disgusted but all of a sadden blacks and it is so appalling? I suppose because of their skin color. If a woman/man is a slut they will do it with any race but if we are talking for love?..Love is a strange thing like it says in Bible many waters cannot quench love…. who keeps the real honor of Armenianess some APERO hypocrat or someone who will do something constractive u ksiri ir kokhki hayin.
