Re: Andre Agassi, not Armenian!???

How many times must he and his father say they are Armenian, it has been in the newspapers and mag's for several years now.

I couldn't care less about his existence. This Aghassi character had denied his Armenian heritage for many years.

Re: Andre Agassi, not Armenian!???

I also met him in person in Las Vegas and sat and spoke to him for over an hour at a Persian restaurant and asked him about the last name and he confirmed the change of his last name. He is Armenian Assyrian. His (Aassi's dad's) dad was Armenian and his mom was Assyrian which makes Agassi Armenian if you go by the Assyrian rule of things. Most Assyrian's believe that if you have an Assyrian father and let’s say an American mother that makes their children Assyrian. I personally feel that, that rule is garbage myself because that is sexist. I think that if there should be a stupid rule like that, that it should really be the other way around. Your mother is the one who does more for the children than the father does in raising the children, not to mention the hardest part of it all which is giving birth.

I really think that the entire subject is really sad to argue in the first place. Let’s be honest, no one would be arguing at all if Agassi was not a famous and successful tennis player. No one would be talking about him at all if he was a loser drug addict.

you don't have to rule out that rule as garbage! .....i think many Armenians share that view....as do i and my Armenian father......it's a part of our cultural sphere....only exception is the xxxs...
