MosJan Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 Ed jan sa el inq@ MElqonyan Gevorg@ - taghvats nuyn tan n@kughum Some info >>> of the web - http://road-to-armenia.com/scenes/journal5.html Ashnak is a village populated almost entirely by Sassuntis, and is located about an hour north of Yerevan, on the road to Talin and Gyumri. We arrived Monday night at about seven, traveling by a yertooghayin van that goes to Ashnak every afternoon from Paregamootyun Metro. We were greeted by friends and relatives at my wife’s in-law’s typically large village home, which is enveloped in a yard of apricot and other fruit trees and a huge vegatable garden. In an unfortunate accident, my wife’s niece fell and broke her leg only about an hour after our arrival. Due to this misfortune, I was able to become acquainted with probably half of Ashnak’s population — the closely-knit village of Sassuntsis coming to see the injured girl and offer their opinions and help in any way possible. After it was concluded that the swollen ankle area had no broken bones, a “snukhchi” appeared on the scene and declared the leg was broken. Arrangements were made to take the girl to nearby Talin, where an x-ray proved the snukhchi correct. The word snukhchi, meaning a natural, or village, doctor, is used in the dialect of the Mshetsis and Sassuntsis, close neighbors in Old Armenia. I had difficulty understanding the dialect spoken in Ashnak, where special care is taken to maintain the exact dialect of Sassun. My wife told me this was also the dialect spoken in Moush, spoken both by her grandmother, born in Moush, and my relatives, who left Moush before the massacres of 1915. In Ashnak, besides a seventh century chapel and remains of a fortress built by Ashot Yergat, a museum dedicated to the great fedayee Gevorg Chavoush, a Sassuntsi, is located in the center of the village. Also, a woman born in Sassun, the only Sassun native still living in Ashnak, recently suffered the loss of her son, in his seventies, to cancer. I had hoped to meet the woman, born around 1908, but her tragic loss made our meeting impossible. The Armenians of Ashnak are quite patriotic, several of its young men having taken part in the Karabagh war, including the liberation of Shushi. One of those who participated in the war told me that he and others were disappointed in the way veterans of the war, especially those now handicapped, are treated, or, rather, ignored by the government. He said that although he would fight again if the need arose, he knows others who wouldn’t go a second time. A staunch Dashnak, he lamented the condition of the Dashnak party in Armenia, saying the true Dashnaks do what is necessary for Armenia, while those speaking for the party are far removed from the party’s original path and people. While in Ashnak, I was fortunate to meet the grandson of Gevorg Chavoush, a Sassuntsi, a Dashnak, and one of the heroes of the Armenian resistance of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Chavoush’s grandson proudly showed me a map he had drawn up with his famous grandfather’s picture on the side and embedded into the map. The map was of the town of Moush, and showed where the fighter was killed and buried. He told me that his grandfather was so respected by the Turks that when he was killed, the Turks personally arranged and conducted a solemn, ceremonial funeral for the slain leader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nakharar Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Armen don't quit while you are nearly there. Lions are heraldic animals aren't they? (P.S. That was a hint if you didn't realize it.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armen Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 I realized but I am a little busy these days. OK Back to work. When was the lion a heraldic animal for a French royalty? British used it. But French? It was always the lilly. So if it is French royal tomb the lion is just a general simbol and not part of specific heraldic representation.

Nakharar Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Good thinking! Who said anything about the French? But there is connection to French royalty. Not the lion of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
