kilmj Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 What is the difference when nation is being massacred or being assimilated? I think the second one is worst. What is your opinion in this issue? Studies showed that during the history 7 time more Armenian people completely lost their identity & disappeared as Armenians through assimilation than they been killed during all the wars & genocides combined. What percentage of 7 million Armenians living abroad will stay Armenian (I mean real Armenian, not just the names) in next 25, 50 or 100 years? I think we are loosing the biggest war in our history without a battle by living in other countries. Me, personally, after 15 years living in the USA (Los Angeles) even by having a good carrier, job, own house, decided & acutely moving back to Armenia (my wife & 3 kids already went there last month & I am leaving in a few days). I do not want to be a cause of the END (disappearance) of my generation ( blood) & its identity. Good luck for others. Good Bless Armenia. (I am trying to create a website (www.WelcomeToArmenia.com) to help & to guide those who want to Visit or to Move to Armenia.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SanVal Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Worse for whom? From the point of view of the individual, assimilation is better because it doesn't hurt, unlike being massacred. From a national perspective, most ethnic groups probably would feel that assimilation is worse because that's when people [/i]voluntarily "give in."

Harut Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 worse than assimilation and genocide is being a dumbass and dying with natural death without assililating... even worse is being smart, being surrounded by dumbasses and not being able to control those dumbasses...
