Guest Posted November 7, 2000 Report Share Posted November 7, 2000 Hi again every 1 . I am a bit confused. I am unsure of what kind of armenian i am I was born in Baku, Azerbajian does this mean i am a diasporan armenian or a Hayastantsi? I figure since were so close to armenia i am hayastantsi but im not sure. Can someone clue me in ? thanks oh by the way are there still any armenians living in Nakichevan?

Guest Posted November 7, 2000 Report Share Posted November 7, 2000 Diaspora Armenians are those who live in the west or in a country were originally no Armenians lived. You are Just a Baku Armenians Bakuahay.The Armenians of Georgia, rep. Azerbaijan, Iran, Georgia, and Turkey are living in countries which Armenians allways lived in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 7, 2000 Report Share Posted November 7, 2000 Hi Alex,Is Alex Kornev your real name? it is very Russian, there is a Russian football player in Feyenoord Rotterdam with such a name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 7, 2000 Report Share Posted November 7, 2000 Alex, I'd classify you as "bakvetsi"... I think you should be aware, however, that there are some negative connotations to that used by SOME people...just as there are negative connotations to hayastantsi, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 7, 2000 Report Share Posted November 7, 2000 quote:Originally posted by Alex Kornev:i just told her armenian but now i know. Your first answer was the best. If we'd all think that way, we would not divide ourselves so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 9, 2000 Report Share Posted November 9, 2000 Yeah Steve ive been out of there for like 14 years now (thankfully) after the sumgait massacares my pops told my mom that she has to get herself and me out of azerbajian asap or we will get slaughtered like so many other armenians in Baku and surrounding areas. my moms entire family left for armenia and we went with them my pops aint have nothing to worry about (he wasnt armenian and he didnt look like one) so he stayed behind for a month. out of the 100,000 or so armenians that lived in baku before the massacares there was not one afterwards i don't know about the rest of azerbjian. I really blame the soviet gov't (mainly gorbachev) he had troops and tanks outside of baku and he held them back for 4 days or so and stood by to watch the azeris do what they did. but anyway i went into a long discussion about this i apologize.

Guest Posted November 12, 2000 Report Share Posted November 12, 2000 I have the same question, I too was born in baku but all of my grandparents were born in Artsax. So would I have to be considered bakvetsi or kharabaghi?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So would I have to be considered bakvetsi or kharabaghi??I depends what you consider to be your homeland, if you think that Artsax is your homeland, then go for it. It doesn't matter if you are born in Baku or the US or Russia, if your heart is there, in place that you consider to be a homeland, then i think you should say you are from Artsax, from proud place of strong and powerful people.Here is some video for you: Im Gharabakh by Aram Asatryan: http://music.diaspora.ru/clips/armenian_co...llection/12.ram I love this videoYake care!Proud Armenian From Gyumri.
