shaunt Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Interesting indeed (read it a while back). The story saddens me, but it seems to be the norm with minorities in the country. http://aux.isifa.com/preview/gp_3710_Armenie_images/7.jpg Beautiful.

gamavor Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 National minorities of course, should emigrate from a country, which is left by masses of representatives of the title nationality. But the emigration of Molokans, which is threatening to liquidate that community, will mean for us, Armenians a loss of our own identity, a loss of a part of Armenia. We should understand it. By the way, inhabitants of Vanadzor (Kirovakan), Karmir (Krasnoselsk) and of some other northern Armenian towns and villages do understand it. "We had always lived together," said Hakob from Vanadzor (Kirovakan) who refused to give his surname. "Molokans are tidy people. We always bought cabbage, milk and butter from them. I like being their neighbor ..." I met few when in Armenia - Molokans are great people. They cultivated something from Armenians - very stuborn and enduring people.

Sasun Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 I got the impression Molokans don't like to mix with others too much. But they make great ttu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teutonic Knight Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 I have met several Molokans in Armenia. They are a very nice and hard working people. They have been a part of Armenia for a while now and if their community ceases to exist that will be a great loss for Armenia and its identity. Couldn't say the same thing about the worthless kurds.

groul Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 Yes, Molokans are very strict when it comes to mixed marriages. Though I know a couple (she is an Armenian, and he is a Molokan). And yes, they are very tidy and hard working. However in the time of the First Republic, they were fighting against Armenians when possible.
