I understand and took this into consideration, but still...

Re: Atom Egoyan (Part 1)

I tried reading some of this and I had to stop for two reasons: 1) I have already read about Atom Egoyan through many other sources and 2) the grammar is unusually poor. It's hard to believe this was actually published.

1) It's an online publication so there isn't much effort gone into the editing as an actual publication.

2) It's written from the Turkish perspective, so it I found it interesting that this much effort went into the publication in the first place.

3) English isn't everyone's first language.

4) The author (Sedat Laciner) is a Turkish academic specialist on the Middle East and International Relations, with particular reference to Turkish foreign policy. Dr; (born 1972).

5) The link to the article was down at the time, looks like it's back up again http://www.turkishweekly.net/article...is-cinema.html

I can draw a lot of parallels between his life and mine since aside from my family, I didn't grow up around Armenians either. Many of us settle in the diaspora and struggle with our identity.... we may have all the gifts and talents passed down from our ancestors, but while striving for survival in foreign cultures, we have all lost a little bit of who we were. It's sad, but true

I got bad news for you partner.
Fact: regardless of how disconnected one may get from his/her roots, once you find out what is really going on and that ancient freaking Armenian blood kicks in, no matter what the effect of Diaspora..............the higher your character, the higher the pull. There is no escape. hahaha

What about marrying, a real Armenian lady?
It did it for me!

When did you marry this lady Gavur jan?

You know when you marry a lovely Armenian lady, you keep the culture not only in your home closeby and all around you; but also in your heart! Double the pleasure and double the fun!

Shnoragalem Anoush Jan, but it's the 21st century and the closest thing we have to our own country is on the internet.

Yeah I like it too... it's nice to converse and pick and choose when we can do, at least we can talk to each other and pick each other's brains or brain storms but it is a pretty good way to talk to Armenians from all over the world. We were conversing the other day to someone from New Zealand, forgot his name, sorry; but from Armenia, the West Coast, the East Coast, Canada various cities, England, Greece and you name it, it's just a wonderful way to connect to Armenians this way, isn't it?

Dear KdHye, Just pick up good old Armenian books and read them all on your spare time. The more the merrier. Go and sit at Armenian Cultural events and get-togethers and encourage when you can or as often as you can to "tasaxosagan yelouyts"; and read read and read. I know it isn't the same as living in Armenia, but you can create it around you and within you when you want paregam.
