    self inflicted genocide

    Armenian women have low fertility rates. Given that almost all Armenians live in developed countries, can we expect to see Armenians to disappear?

    it's at 1.35 children per woman now in Armenia proper.
    CIA.gov 404

    If Armenians don't bring that rate up to 2.1 - replacement rate - the population will halve by the end of the century.

    In the words of Dylan Thomas: Will Armenia 'Go Gentle Into That Good Night?'

    Are armenians going leave the lands empty and up for grabs?

      Diaspora Armenians would move back before they let that happen. Also, it's not wise to have children you can't afford for the sake of having more Armenians, only to have those children go to an orphanage or grow up poor, and having to leave Armenia to find work. When the economy improves, and people can afford it they will have more kids

        I thought about that when i posted this thread, but is that likely to happen? Im here in the states and the Armenians here (at least the american assimilated ones) really are caught up in their own lives.

        It's like global warming, people care but dont do anything about it. Would diaspora armenians really make that sacrifice?
        Obviously not all, but i think enough would, many xxxs that were assimilated into western culture and life moved back to Israel when it was formed and still do. Or a lot of Cuban Americans whether recent immigrants or 2nd generation, etc say they will move back to Cuba, if a democratic government is installed, and things change.

        People just need a reason to go back. Also population doesn't matter when your speaking in terms of size, i.e. There are more people in NYC than in Armenia, same with Azerbaijan, Georgia, and many other countries. So even if the population of Armenians in Armenia was down to a million, we would still be a country

          I think he does have a point.

          I have argued about this many times in the past.

          The emigration and low birthrate are not good. Assimilation abroad is also bad. There is a double-edged sword phenomenon here which we have to be cognizant about.

          It's kind of like in the bigger picture of how Europeans will disappear or become minorities in their own countries due to low birthrates and immigration.

            Just a suggestion, but perhaps it would have been better not to warn him. This way, his banning would have been expedited.

              Better than being cognizant about it, why don't you find an Armenian wife and make babies.

                  Well kurds are having more kids than turks, both in and out of turkey. So maybe they will not have to kill as many turk soliders as initially planned.
                  For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
                  to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.

                    - An armenian state exists. thank god for this. Armenian stock will be replenished
                    - low birth rates - i believe many nations are experiencing this. its a global problem in the west, and in fact creeping into the developing world with better technology and education
                    - amoung many other national diasporas, i consider the Armenian contigent as the most patriotic and culturally aware. Armenian schools, churches, community centres, organisations and business can be found in major cities, while other diasporan communities have nothing/very little, especially those of turkish extraction
                    - crusader hit the nail on the head.
