That, unfortunately, is not impressive--

Moorad is a very good man perhaps because of his religious leanings. I learned a lot from him during the olden listserve days.

This guy is becoming more and more impressive as time passes. Good for him!

That's a quirk. How in the world did this happen? Don't get me wrong. It's truly a good thing that high tech industry is growing there, making its comeback, but US military hardware?

Correction. Most Zionist organizations or affiliates work for, or at least favor, Turkey's and Azerbaijan's interests, and therefore Armenians react. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Arpa, this is bell-the-cat back in action, the same Steve Sim. I'm wondering if he's back to belittle Armenians yet some more, perhaps the daily dose of maligning nationalists, another dose of equating Turks with Armenians, or perhaps saying that Armenian academics are all Turklike. That is the standard anti-Armenian diet we've been waiting for, as much as we were looking forward to that Socratic hemlock diet.

I also like the double-headed jutak they are playing, the same instrument used by Jivani and Karintsi rooted musicians , The Pontus is influenced heavily by the Erzngan-Karin cultural belt, which was notoriously rich in musical traditions during the Bagratuni kingdom... and far beyond if the parasites ever lose control of that territory and we start properly researching the area..

Good find! 7/8 rhythm, (in common with Laz, and sometimes Pontic greeks). The singing is taptepadz, but it is a difficult tempo to sing in.

Excellent! I knew I could count you. Team work it is! --> Yervant, it is anonymous. Modern Turkish is extremely latinized not only in script, but its "modern" vocabulary. Perhaps Mustafa The Camel essentially had Hagop Debil-anchar (aysinkn Esh oghl eshek) replace most perso-arabic terms with latin terms. What is ճին? Իզ դատ արաբիկ ֆոր դիմը՞ն։

Yervant, Arpa is also on the right track. Yaman is used to mean "jarbig", cunning, but also to mean ruthless, remorseless, uncouth.

"You know it's bad when the GREEKS are calling you gay."

Man, I just write fast--, and you might just be right about the dialect, and it is entirely possible that these people did mistranscribe and sing incorrectly much of the words.. I also sourced this from another Armenian forum. The links were provided in their post. Yervant, Hamshentsi has more Grabarr elements to it, and it is borderline phonetically speaking between Eastern and Western. This one sounds more so western. intzi hamar lusnak yes merpipari tzerpipari cıhkerı, cıhkerı madanu ankin ag yes intzi varetz horomsimi, kayaneyi, şoğagati cami ceri cıhkeri, cıhkeri This above is definitely some sort of western Armenian, a bit localized, perhaps even distorted by these Kurds (which wouldn't be at all surprising), but definitely western Armenian.

When was that?

Dear friend, I am well aware of the troubles Armenians faced in the San Joaquin valley. One of the stories I recall is from the Hovanissian family, of the famed historian and his family, from the Depression era. One important detail is the Armenian ability to prepare for the worst in the event of disasters such as this sort of food shortage or outright famine. The story went that the general population resented the Armenians for having large quantities of preserves, which, as I have written previously, the ARmenians are absolute experts at doing, preparing long term preserve - even bread - that lasts through the Winter (in Armenia herself) or the Great Depression in the case of the San Joaquin Valley. The Armenian "maran"*** is notoriously well stocked in today's village in Armenia as well, and this might have been one reason that the Armenian population during the Blockade from 1991 to 1994, particularly the "freezing years" of 92-93, in addition to overfishing the lakes in Armenia for their protein needs, were not suffering from widespread famine. ***(մառան = pantry, but not really, more like a huge storehouse, sometimes underground, with the stored items in a large storage container or multiple containers of a variety of sorts, suspended from the ceiling to avoid direct contact with the surrounding storage room. Fascinating technology, really)
