Guest Fadi Posted September 29, 2002 Report Share Posted September 29, 2002 ...Here two anecdotes pointed out by one of Tehlirian lawyer, Johannes Werthauer. What is circulated about the Armenians. "One Greek can sell three Jews. One Armenian can sell three Greeks" What the Persians say about the Armenians "Get your bread from a Kurd but sleep in an Armenian home." This is the lawyer explannation of this anecdote: "What this means is that the Persian, being a Muslim, cannot take bread from a Christian Armenian so he takes it from his coreligionist, the Kurd. But he will not accept the hospitality of his co-religionists because the Armenian will not steal. Security of ownership and scrupulous respect for the possessions of others are nowhere else as evident as among the Armenians." I just started this topic, in order that people post other expressions known, discribing the Armenians, and this from other people.

Sip Posted September 29, 2002 Report Share Posted September 29, 2002 quote:Originally posted by Domino:"One Greek can sell three Jews. One Armenian can sell three Greeks" The ironic thing is that even then, the Jews get all the proceeds from ALL the sales. (just a joke of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
