M_Karazov Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 Hello friends, I have a question for you. In which country outside of Armenia do you think most Armenians live? I am myself from Russia and am I interested to know how do you think we can strenghten the traditional good relations between our countries in the level of culture and religion. I also can advise you as people in diaspora: you CAN make a difference as an Armenian abroad for your local Armenian community and for Armenia itself. I have a good example for you from the Russian-American diaspora. Paul Klebnikov, a American born Russian exposed the dirty methods of the oligarchs in Russia in gaining wealth at the expense of the Russian people. So you can make a difference for your country even if you are living abroad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artaxias Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 Why make a poll? It's Russia. I wouldn't be surprised if there are more Armenians there than in ROA. It's a disgrace and a shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skhara Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 I think it's the US. The problem with counting the ones in Russia is that a lot of them go between Russia and Armenia. The official number of Armenians in Russia is just over a million. BTW, Karazov, Welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sen_Vahan Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 The number of Armenians in Russia is I think the largest, clearly more than a million. Russia had a huge number of Armenians before the Soviet broke and afterwards perhaps the half of Armenia moved there. I am not sure you can find a relatively exact statistics, I don't think anybody does that but you can check the official Russian sources. One thought is common among people that the number of Armenians in Russia is larger than that in Armenia. I think it is not exaggerated.

sen_Vahan Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 By the way, there was a joke when I was in Moscow: "Putin asks Robert Kocharyan how many Armenians are there in the homeland? Rob answers that about 1.5 million. To this Putin replies, well, we have 2 million, so who is the president of Armenia then ????" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The official number of Armenians in Russia is just over a million. BTW, Karazov, Welcome! style_images/master/snapback.png Yeah that is an excellent point. I think many Armenians in Russia are working a number of months in Russia and a number of months in Armenia. I think this is definatelly good for both economies because the diversity of commerce becomes much more diverse. It is easy to find goods from Armenia, like excellent brandy, in Moscow now and probably the same way for Russian products in Armenia. BTW, I found out that thanks to the Armenian community car parts from western brands are much cheaper then in the past!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a disgrace and a shame. style_images/master/snapback.png disgrace and a shame? what are you talking about? and where do you live may i ask? somewhere outside of Armenia, right? just because it's Russia, it's shameful all of a sudden.!? I came to the US from Russia. never been to Armenia.. tsk tsk WHAT A SHAME! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zartonk Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 He probably considers it shameful because of the Russianization of Russian-Armenians. yet again, yes ayt masin vocheech chgitem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean there are assimilated Armenians living here in America or.....Latin America for that matter who don't speak the language and know little about the culture in general.

gamavor Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 I don't get it. style_images/master/snapback.png I think he implies some not that legit dealing with cars. There were few Armenian Auto-Mafiosi that were involved in traffic of stolen cars. Their market share is absolutely mediocre compared to Polish, Bulgarian and Romanian gangs that are involved in this "business". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet ultimatly, the general issue (wherever the occurance may be) is (to me) shamefull, or in a more correct terminology, unfortunate. I mean I do sympathize with the cases where any social Armenian interaction is non-existant, but most are mere choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud EXPAT Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 One thing I've noticed, Armenians that move or work in Russia are usually the ones that have the intention of going back and forth and the hope of returning to Armenia for good. The majority of Armenians I know whom have moved to the US hate this place and don't want to have anything to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kakachik77 Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 (edited) more Armenians in Moscow alone than in entire California Guys, btw, have you seen "Moya Bolshaya Armyankaya Svadba". It touches upon the particulars of Armenians in Moscow, pretty funny. It's a knock-off from "My Fat Greek Wedding" about a marriage between an Armenian and Russian. And, it's available in Glendale for those Glendelian residents who are part of this forum, but you have to know Russian.
