Arpa Posted December 17, 2002 Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 (edited) PhilArmenia.Some time ago we saw that Phobia Armeniaca was not a fruit.PhilArmenia is not a symphonic orchestra either. Although the Yerevan Philharmonic is one the world's best, I should, know I saw them perform several times. Yes at the Yerevan Philharmonic Theater. The next day I saw Arshak II at the National Opera House. (Those who have doubts about my Chrsitian heritage as well, take heed.Although what I am going to write has very little to do with religion, we will also notice that words I am going to use will be challenged in the Biblical context. And I also made known that I know the Bible by heart, not to say necessarily I believe everything I read. So... watch out!!! BTW. I know what Christianity is and by my strict definition Armenians don't qualify. You don't believe me? Read some of the poison pen posts on this forum). PhilArmenia means Haykakan Ser, Love of Armenia. In the Armenian language there may be many synonyms to "ser/love" but most of them have slightly different tinge, such as hamakranq, gorov etc. In the Greek there are three words that are used in some capacity to mean love. Each of them has a sligtly different meaning.The first is Agape. This word does not appear in the Old Testament, understandably since agape is spiritual love, as love towards one's sister brother, friend etc. There is eros. It is used to mean physical love as in sex. This is the kind of love that one would see in the OT as it refers to loving one's wife or sex partner.Then there is philia. This is love towards ideas. Take words like philosophy that means love of mind, thought. BTW. Philip means lover of horses as in phil-hippos. We spoke about our fears and hates under the subject topic of Phobia Armeniaca. Let us see how and what is that we love in Armenian and Armenia. Let us join the philharmonia and sing the anthem of PhilArmenia; Yes im anush Hayastani arevaham barn em siroum.......Ou Nayirian aghchikneri hezajkoun parn em siroum........Ahkhar antsir Ararati nman jermak gagat chkaInchpes anhas parqi jampa, yes im Masis sarn em siroum. BTW, Philharmonia means "love of harmony/music". Edited January 6, 2004 by Arpa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe a combination of visiting coffeeshops AND things Armenian. Speaking of helping Armenia economically: I've heard there are FIELDS of cannabis in Hayastan and Artsax. Could this be an idea for business? If so, I may not want to see Armenia extinct soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormig Posted December 21, 2002 Report Share Posted December 21, 2002 PHYLLO (FILO ) DOUGH: Phyllo which means "leaf" in Greek, are tissue paper-thin like sheets of dough made from flour, water and a bit of oil. However, Phyllo dough was not born in Greece rather in Istanbul during the Ottoman reign. The name "Phyllo" is Greek but the dough technique itself is Turkish. (See History of Phyllo Dough). Of all Turkey's delicious sweet confections, the most famous is baklava. This exquisite flavored pastry has been made in Anatolia for many centuries, and its ancestor is widely believed to be a dish made by the Assyrians at around 8th century B.C. They were the first people who put together a few layers of thin bread dough, with chopped nuts, dried fruit in between those layers, added some honey and baked it in their wood burning ovens. This earliest known version of baklava was baked only on special occasions. In fact, historically, baklava was considered a food for the rich until mid-19th century.

sen_Vahan Posted December 22, 2002 Report Share Posted December 22, 2002 According to Rafii, ov chi chanachum ir hayrenik', na chi karog sirel noran (in my own words). How many of us here "chanachum en hayrenik' "? Let me put easier: how many of us here have ever been in armenia? OR even easier: How many of us here know the language?Do I need to continue? Arpa,Does your question mean what we love about armenia/ians or about the concept of armenianism? If the question is around the concept then I am silent. If it is about armenia/ians then I would say I want to live in Armenia and have my family living there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
