Dear all


I would like to thank you all for showing support to this family; I have just heard that two Armenian families had contacted the NEAST team asking for contacting information to help this family with money, clothes, etc.

I read about this story a while back. There are more families like this. There was a ex-patriot on another Armenian forum that posted pictures of a Armenian woman who also had a lot of children. Her living conditions weren't as bad, but they weren't that much better either. Anyways, you know what is really stupid? You know why are Armenians have been reduced to this existence? Its not because they lack potential but rather, it is because they lack leadership.

For instance, there is a genocide in Sudan, now, instead of Americans or any other "super power" rushing in to save them, Armenians, find themselves morally obligated to help them. Now, really ask yourself, why, you, as a Armenian, should send aid to starving Africans when in fact your countrymen are starving themselves? It ridiculously stupid how Armenians are sending aid to Sudan when in fact there own country is in poverty and is on its last legs. The diaspora has wasted enough time trying to be "morally superior".

This is partly why I hate Armenians that buy into this "one world" and "one human race" bullxxxx that is spewed by the media. Where are these "morally superior" Africans, Americans, and Jews when Armenians are facing poverty? I am not embarressed at how this woman lives, there is nothing wrong with being poor and I condem this woman for the life she has gone through, however, what I find embarressing is how the Diaspora continually tries to be "morally superior" at the expense of Armenians. Armenians should be sending aid to Armenia not Sudan. I shouldn't read on the BBC how some couple in Italy, France, or Germany has sent aid, but rather I should read how Armenians are sending aid. Instead, Armenians are again shoting themselves in the foot by striving to be his "morally superior" group of people. We need to understand that NOBODY outside of another Armenian will really give a dam about Armenia and Armenians, furthermore, rellying on foriegn armies, governments, and aid is the equivalent of suicide.

But who cares right? We're all very content to drive our Beamers and charge it up on good food at Carosel while claiming to be proud Armenians.

No, she's very Armenian looking... are you reffering to the hood/head dress? Armenian women wear that.

Something we seem to forget is that Armenian women had veils over the lower half of their faces up until the mid 20th century, just like most muslim nations do.

no, actually I was reffering more to the holding gun thing than the covered hair...
