DominO123 Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 It should feal wierd for you if you think of Armenian the way you described style_images/master/snapback.png No! No! You didn't understood me. I've actually have seen a villager from Armenia here in Montreal... their family have emigrated here, wonder if they still live here though.

Armen Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 No! No! You didn't understood me. I've actually have seen a villager from Armenia here in Montreal... their family have emigrated here, wonder if they still live here though. style_images/master/snapback.png Well, you said you can't think of it as an acutal country. I am saying that it was probably both strange and exciting for you to meet a villager, whos ancesters back several generations lived and cultivated that land, grew grapes and made wine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DominO123 Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 ...grew grapes and made wine style_images/master/snapback.png That's what my family was doing before getting butchered and the rest being kicked out from the Ottoman Empire. I want to be a simple Armenian villager, and not to worry of anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anoushik Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 I can't still concieve an Armenian country. It's weird to think there is a land somewhere, where the national language is Armenian, where the names of the streets are writen in Armenian. It's like in another universe. Am I the only one alienated like this? style_images/master/snapback.png Neither can I. I can't conceive of a place that by international law belongs to the Armenians and they are the owners of that land. Also, I can't conceive of the idea that everyone talks Armenian because that is the national language of that country. But what worries me is that when I go back there (or hopefully permanently move back) I might find myself to be yet another outsider looking in (just like I felt when I was in Germany, Sweden, and occasionally here, the U.S.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my college friends, who was born in Iran and raised in the States, moved back couple of years ago. Now she's a typical Erevantsi, with the local lexicon and all. And she does not feel like an outsider at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nané Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 (edited) I was reading an article today written by Silva Kaputikyan and I came across this passage and thought it would be appropriate here.

Anileve Posted July 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Vay Armen jan!!!!! You are the best!!! That's my school and my neighborhood!!! I can't believe it.... How it all changed, judging from the pictures it's soooo beautiful... I had a flood of emotions from looking at the pictures. There was a cafe on Abovian, I used to go there with a tin pot to get some chocolate ice cream for Cafe-glasse. And there was a water fountain there with some of the best water I have ever tasted. I remember laying in our spacious bedroom with beige wall-paper and snow white bed covers, listening to the sounds of the water fountain, the sound of the heels on the asphalt and the continuous chatter outside. The branches of the trees on Abovian were almost shielding my window, making it look like we were facing a lush garden. Aaaaahhhh.... What did you do Armen jan?!!! Can you take some more pictures of little things and streets, I am so curious. I wonder if the big yard behind Abovian is still there, and Dyetski mir, is it still there? By the way, the streets remind me of Madrid. In fact I remember when we first arrived there I had this weird feeling of familiarity; the streets reminded me of my childhood, especially the trees. Thank you hokis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonymouse Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Can anyone take pictures of that street Keyvian, I think? It is perpendicular to Orbeli. I don't know if the names have changed. It was the route toward the bridge, and Hamalir, toward Hrazdan Get. Also, there is a little Russian Kindergarden on the corner of those streets, Keyvian and Orbeli, that's where I went. Someone TAKE PICTUUUUURES! Also, if you can go to the Embassy of Uzbekistan, that is where our old house was, but when we left it was torn down.

I am so glad that someone had the same feeling. I think that's one of the main reasons why I fell in love with Madrid. Probably more than Barcelona, in fact it was strange, when we returned to Madrid to fly back to New York I felt as if I returned home. I never felt that before about any other city.
