Kvas, do you know the people in those photographs? If you don't, then it's sort of creepy to post their pictures here.

Re: Immigration/Armeniafication

Those people had posted their photos up on another Armenian forum. I simply got the link and put them here. I can see what you mean though but I was just trying to make a point.

Re: Immigration/Armeniafication

The day Armenia become a multiracial country is the day I stop calling myself my family and when I have children Armenian.

No I don't think Armenia should "Armenize" non Armenians, especially those who are not white. Hey Europe is trying to "Europize" everybody coming to their country look how thats turning out. Multiracialism is wrong, and now Armenia is somewhat peaceful. When you have minorities you have crime because those minorities dont give a crap and live within their own neighborhoods. In Armenia if you rob somebody it can be very likely that this person is someone that knows someone you know.

Just because Armenians had different colour hair then others doesnt mean anything. Germans, Italians, French all dont look the same. Armenians are a mix race of Caucasian and Indo-European people. Lastly I have seen Armenized Yezdis and Kurds and Assyrians who look like Indians and frankly are as Armenian as the Indians who come to Armenia to learn medicine. I don't consider someone who does not look like an Armenian but an indian or Arab armenian since they are not.

Also all I know is this. All our heroes, all our brave you men that fought and died for "Armenia" did not do it for some piece of land or Ararat. They fought for the Armenian people not someone that just speaks the langauge.

I would not fight for some muticultural nation just like i will not fight for Canada now. I love Canada and was thinking of joining the Canadian military but what for? So I could fight and loose body parts or life for who? Asians? Indians? Arabs? Blacks? Hell no! I don't understand why white Canadians do it. Canadian military is like 95% white and they fight for Canada to only see others taking their land over.

Canada is a country where 1 in 5 are not even born here and where the demography is changing at an exceptional rate.

I know what it is to be a minority in Canada and I know what it is to see the majority whites in Canada become the minority with my own eyes where I live. The culture changes and the host countries culture is lost. Do you know how many Chinese new year, Chinese this Chinese that I have had to go through during my time in highschool? I know more about China and their culture then I do with the rest of Canada.

Also there is the fact of mixing races. The ethnic makeup changes and it creates a new ethnic group and I can see that happening with my very eyes also. look at the "colored" race in south africa and you will understand what I am talking about.

The only reason I call myself Armenian now is not because I speak Armenian (which overtime I am slowly forgeting) it is because I am ethnically and racially Armenian. I care very little of some piece of land and a flag. If Armenians sees being Armenians I would not hesitate in giving up my identity and would associate with the closest ethnic group to mine.

A final note, would you as an Armenian be ok with bringing in African blacks and Armenizing them knowing full well that over time Armenia will become a country of mix race people who look black?

Kavkaz, do you have plans to eventually resettle in Armenia?

Yes I actually do and I plan on helping some big companies establish themselves there after I have established myself within my company. Then who knows? My family used to own a farm in Armenia and I still remember the summers I spent there. They were just so amazing almost as good as my time in Europe.

That's good to here man, I also plan on taking a similar course before and after moving to Armenia. Would you move to Yerevan or another city?

Thats really cool to hear. I know alot of Armenians are trying to live in their new homes and the thought of moving to Armenia is a distant one. But there are those who can come and benefit Armenia by creating new jobs in an industry that is not present currently in Armenia. Armenians are very smart people, and skilled IT work should be a very promising future for Armenia.

I am originally from Yerevan so I would probably move there first and see where that takes me. But I am hoping to do this in the next 5-7 years. But we will see you can never tell how the future is going to be.

Re: Immigration/Armeniafication

Armenians and their neighbors to a large extent have the same ancestors. What separates these groups is not their ancestry but their language and culture. If people from another nation settle in Armenia, then their children can be Armenian if they are part of the culture. Case in point, some Armenians in Armenia have Russian ancestors. National identity has little to do with one's ancestors. It has to do with factors such as language, territory, and economy. Yezidi Kurds in Armenia, for example, are more Armenian than many so-called diasporan Armenians living in the USA, France, and other western countries.
