Life As An Armenian

[MJ]

Actually, where I live or have lived in the past, and where I have worked, people have no idea about Armenians. In most of the cases, when you say Armenia, they reiterate Romania?

 

Under the best scenario they have heard that Armenia was engaged in "civil war" with Azerbaijan.

 

But in more than 90% of cases they don't ask about my ethnicity, though it is evident that I am not native here.

Boghos jan,

 

I'm sure that Armenian state will survive no matter what happens (except for WW3). Too many countries need us to be here (even the ones with totally opposite interests).

 

The matter how we will live here, what goods and culture we will produce depends on us and our will. If we don't have that will, there is no need to have a state. I think that the change in country's governing and business management that will come with the generation change will help a lot.

Dear Berj,

 

You know whenever I go to Armenia I am struck by two things: the overall generosity and open character of the people I realte to and the fact that once you look at Armenia you cannot but believe that regardless of the difficult geopolitical situation, all ingredients are there to make a very successful country.

 

Maybe, in spite of all gloom and doom we are moving into that direction. It is when thing appear to be the darkets that things may be getting better.
