Takoush Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 I'm feeling poetic, so I'll close with some Silva Gaboudigian: oo des, vortis, oor el lines ays loosni dag oor el knas te mort ankam mdkits hanes ko mayr lezoon chmoranas style_images/master/snapback.png Gor-Gor: I love Silva Gaboudigian and I also love Hovhannes Shiraz. I also love this poetry about our language. When I was only 8 years old I recited the whole poetry infront of a lot of Armenian people and the person who introduced me told them that I am a true 'Hayasdantsi' girl. I hope my daughter will follow my footsteps. I have to work hard for her to get there; because there are people in here who worked against me rather than with me to bring up my only daughter a very good Armenian. But I will achieve my perspective and my goal because; Կամքս տկարութիւն չի ծանչնար։ Anahid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takoush Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Gor-Gor: I had to rush to run for my errands before, so I didn't have time to write to you about the Bolsahay principal of Hovnanian School in New Jersey. As I told you, when my daughter was about 6 1/2 - 7 years old I took her there to put her in the school. Then I didn't know, but I also talked to her that I happen to be a knowledgeable and a good Armenian person, and I have also been a doer. I have told her that thinking that it'll be more credit for us, little that I knew then that I said the wrong things for her to accept us. I beseached her to think again and accept my beautiful daughter in the school and she stayed like a real Turkish bad woman and said no, I am sorry, no. A couple of years later an Armenian woman told me that she refused her as well. Then she told me that because that bolsahay principal is not very knowledgeable in Armenian, therefore she's always afraid to bring in good and knowledgeable Armenian people so that they won't find out about her weaknesses and shortcomings. You see, me and my daughter were victims of that Turk. Two very professional people also told me later that that woman doesn't have much brains. I am still very sad and upset about it, because I feel that we have been victimized and it is very unfair. Plus in the diaspora it is doubly hard to bring your child to be good and knowledgeable Armenian person. So rightfully so I feel that my beautiful sweet child and I have been victimized by that bad woman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anoushik Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Anoushik: I know I am quite late in responding this post and this site, but what you're saying is awesome. I am very happy to hear it. I have a little girl who will be 11 years old in 6 days. Although I was born in Cairo, Egypt, but I was brought up to be very very good Armenian girl; but my husband is American born Armenian and he doesn't speak a word of Armenian. He feels Armenian but not like me. I feel very strongly rooted Armenian. So one day hopefully in a couple of years or maybe sooner, I want to take my daughter to Armenia for a while, so that she can mingle with the Armenians there and stay more close to her roots. My Western Armenian is very good and I am trying to teach my daughter as well. It's been a bit difficult for me because we speak only English at home. I am the only source though for my daughter, and she doesn't go to an Armenian school. Just part time Armenian school and me. That's why I feel it would be more beneficial if one of these days I took her to Armenia for a couple of months or so. style_images/master/snapback.png I'm very proud to know such great Armenians as you. It seems like you'll do anything for your daughter to know her roots, the legacy that we all Armenians have inherited from our ancestors.

Anoushik Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Kharapaghtsi people don't like Echimiadzintsi (Vagharshapat) people and vice versa. NOT from Yerevan area. I don't know whay would they do that but i personally saw my cousin with bullet holes on his side. I remmber those days very clearly...in Echmidzan if you drove around, on every street you entered there would be a big black sign with the persons name on it and his age that just been brought home dead. And what was the good part is that they would say that they commited suicide and no army officials would come to their ceremony. style_images/master/snapback.png Killuminati, it still doesn't make sense to me. Guys like your cousin were being killed in banak just because they said they were from Echmiadzin? And the people who killed were guys serving in banak from Karabagh?

Anoushik Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 But nontheless I still want to go back and take few good .50 caliber snipers with me and lots of bullets to eliminate some people and start a revolution and change that place for good. If i do go back...i will only go back with that mentallity. style_images/master/snapback.png Why continue the cycle? Where will it stop?

And the people who killed were guys serving in banak from Karabagh? style_images/master/snapback.png That is correct. As of what were the motives of killing, i don't know...we spent lots of money and many months trying to figure out why...and like that we never found answer. Why continue the cycle? Where will it stop? style_images/master/snapback.png What i said is meant to stop the cycle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasun Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 What i said is meant to stop the cycle. style_images/master/snapback.png I am sure somebody else will be ready to pick up a sniper and run after you.

"Surov zargir, surov al bidi iynas". You are going to take your revenge with the sword and you will befall with the sword because someone else will take revenge back upon you. You are going to drown right into the fire. Please Killuminati don't do it. It's not good for your health. Anahid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gor-Gor Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Anahid: I don't understand how a principal of an Armenian school can turn away an Armenian parent and child, knowing the realities of assimilation. Animasdoun gin! As for your daughter -- you know, nowadays there are a lot of programs to help adults and kids learn Armenian. There is one especially for Western Armenian, www.discoverarmenian.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
