Re: Karina Pasian

She can really sing well, she has an amazing voice...but wow man all that languages, but not Armenian? She should really try Armenian, man with her tone she would make beautiful renditions.

As well, she can sing in German, French, Russian, Arabic, Turkish, etc. but her Turkish pronunciation is really "Americanized". When you get the flow of German and French sounds, pronouncing Turkish is really easy, and Arabic is not so hard to pronounce as well, and if she can Hebrew then Arabic is the easiest. Russian is indeed hard because it has a lot of tone variations and stresses differencing words, like in Spanish, I would like to listen to her singing in more languages.

Re: Karina Pasian

Re: Karina Pasian

There you go again Armanen-bashing people you know nothing about just because they are only part armenian. I get the feeling you hate part armenian people more then non armenians - especialy if they are part black and part armenian it seems. The onlly things you know about this girl is what she looks like and that she can sing really well but hey that doesnt stop you from reaching your usual conclusions and writing her off as a totally useless individual regarding anything armenian. Maybe if people like you and mos didnt act like this then more people would want to explore their armenian roots but when they see people like you they will quickly want to forget that part of their heritage. The attitude you and some others here have is a big part of why armenians assimilate and why some people feel uncomfortable moving or even visiting Armenia. We Armenians are not the Chinese-we do not have a surplus of people we can simply write off and no one gave you or anyone else such a right.

The point is this half Armenian is singing in turkish, but she does not in Armenian? You do not see anything wrong with this picture?

Armenia doesn't need to be like China or any other country, what it needs to stress is patriotism and quality in its people. This is something a western educated neo liberal like yourself will not understand, because everything to people such as yourself relates back to some diversity s*it they taught you in high school and college.

Re: Karina Pasian

Man she has a voice.........siroun balikess.

She doesn't speak Turkish. She used to sings the words during choir as she heard them. I am sure she knows more Armenian now than Turkish words. You guys should hear it, she makes Turkish sound really good.

Her interview

From the interview:

Why are you sure she knows Armenian? Care to provide a source?

Your a funny man Armanen. There are tens of thousends and probably way more then that armenians who speak turckish and not armenian. Should we forget about them to? I guess there is something wrong with them to? That girl just learned a song she doesnt speak turckish and you know it. I bet she would be more interested in learning a armenian song if someone would teach her. Your about as quick at judging what other people can and cant understand as you are at throwing away any possible value someone can have just because they are only part armenians. Your racism is quite discusting.

No I am not, I am just giving her the benefit of doubt..........plus she can always learn it as she connects more with her Armenian heritage.

Again, until you understand the concept of quality over quantity your points are moot.

Let's assume the girl does not speak turkish, one must ask then, why would she learn a turkish song instead of an Armenian one? It would make more sense to learn an Armenian one since she is biologically half Armenian, no? She did not do that, and I ask again, do you not see any issue with that?

You can bet on what she would or wouldn't do, I am stating the obvious, that it is repulsive for an Armenian to learn turkish when they don't know their mother tongue. Again, making assumptions, that's all you have to go on anyway. I don't dislike someone or believe they have no value if they are not 100% Armenian. The character and patriotism are most important for me, and those who have actually met me or have chatted with me can attest to that. Your liberalism is quite idioitic and self defeating.

Your right, i cant bet what she would or wouldnt do - and neither can you. Had she been exposed to Armenian culture who knows how she would have reacted. She didnt fal in love with turcks either- she just learned how to sing one song. Its funny that you claim to value character and patriotism when it is obvious you have neither. You already hate her because she is part black and you hate her more because this part black person is also par armenian and it drives you insane that she sang a song in turckish. Nevermind that some of our own Armenians stars sing many turckish songs to. Your closed mind along with your racist friends will be what destroys the very thing you claim to be trying to save.

You must want to get banned with all the name calling. Keep it up, and that is what will happen, seeing as you can't defend your points without assuming and then resorting to childish insults.

It is not up to you to dictate to others what level of patriotism they have or do not, nor character. Your opinions are not shared by a majority of Armenians, especially those who work for the betterment of our people on an active level, that alone makes me happy.

Keep making assumptions about me and what I stand for, that is all you have to go on.

I dont have to assume anything, you show your true racist self all on your own. You dont need to be a racist to be a patriot but thats beyond your understanding to.
