Edit

It might be a shovel I suppose.

The only decent group in Lebanon are the Shia. The rest are bunch of idiots with the exception of the wonderful Armenians. The Maronites are the worse of the bunch. Like the Georgians they are back stabbing jealous annoyance. The first thing that comes out if their mouth is “Shou ya Armany” Kounerem tsez, barab glirner …. Heryaneroun bess kakmenen. Bunch of Arabs from Syria pretending to be Phoenicians. I should ad the Druz aren't bad either ... They are kind.

This is the most honest and correct thing i read all day

When a Lebanese newspaper or media outlet insults Armenia, they will get their answer. I, or anyone else are not supposed to kneel to their bullsh*t.

Renaissance? How did I miss this?
We had to live with their civil war from 1975 to 1991, then relative peace from 1992 to 2005, then bombs now and then until now. Add the Israeli wars of 1996 and 2006. Of course one thing that's been going strong from 1975 to 2016 is electricity blackouts.
Add to that the insults you get when you speak Armenian. Even at my workplace at one of the most prominent organizations in the region, I used to get lousy comments for speaking Armenian with my mom on the phone.
I faced exactly what Azad was saying above at my home in the Adma area. "Shu ya Armany" ..I was referred by "L Armany" by 80% of the inhabitants. The other 20% were 'ok' because Armenians voted for their political party. Eventually I got sick n tired and sold the house. The day Gemayel lost elections in 2007, I had to sleep with an AK47. People looked at me like ISIS treats minorities now.
I understand the passion you got for your country, but sooner or later you will face what I faced and will remember this post.

Here's an article I found from 2007.

The Lebanese-Armenian Community is Shaken by Intolerant Statements Made by the Former President

It is sad. That's all I can say. Remembering vibrant communities of the past.
The thruth is any place but in Armenia, Armenians will eventually face bitter ends(I mean as Armenians, if you assimilate then you take the sh it as locals, your head below water and never knowing we're you came from and where you are going).
You think that communities in Europe and US are better? Wait till dollar dries up or some other sh it.
All the properties, businesses and homes that we created with such "enthusiasm" in other's land, we will abandone overnight and flee to safer place one day soon or later.
Not because we are Armenians. But because being Armenian we have always seen the world wider than anybody else. And we have abused that view, moving from one place to another to make better lives than we could in our homeland.
Every time I drink coffe sitting in my porch and looking big and beautiful home and garden that I own, I think about it. And I know that I deserve that outcome, because I didn't think of building this in my country, with my fellow Armenians. Did not tall and struggle like anyone who stayed there, but took the easy road out. Calling it "freedom from communizm".
But communizm is long gone and I am still here stuck to comfort I built.
What am I freeing myself now? From my people?
Ohhh I deserve what comes, when it does. No less than my people in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq or Ukraine.
I have a hard time explaining to myself, let alone to my son, who even has stopped long ago asking this question. What are we doing here? For how long?
The worst part is when some of us think that this is normal. There is no problem.
