Artandsky! Yes my friend! You are level head and wise indeed.
God bless you!

Quality > Quantity is the history of our people and that should not change. That is what made 1 Armenian = 7 azeris in the karabakh war.

I too hope to take my skills and enrich our nation.

Good luck to you and your aspirations, Now go learn armenian!

Re: Are Armenians on the verge of extinction?

thanks for your input. I've never been to Armenia so I can't really say anything about it. I plan to go in a year or two. Till then, I'd like to take some courses in Armenian at the university here that offers it, apparently they teach you to speak, read and write Armenian better than Armenians themselves (well, in general).

Re: Are Armenians on the verge of extinction?

Hi guys,

Before I start, must say English is not my first language so would like to apologise in advance for my poor grammar.
By the way to my shame Armenian is also not my first language. As my mother say for Armenians in Armenia we are (Shurtevac) ;-). As we are Armenians from Georgia that lived there for centuries we had some litle differences in mentality and many of us spoke Georgian or Russian.
Ok let me get to the point;
This topic touched me so bad that I bothered myself to register to give my point of view on it; if I may?
I actually tend to be more pessimistic about future of our nation.
As most would agree we do not have in our culture tradition to bread like rabbits, plus influence of western fashion on having few babies or non at all is strong. Aggravated with bad economical situation in Armenia and immigration it looks like in long run if it continuos like that there won’t be any significant population left to defend this small rocky highlands called Armenia.
Especially keeping in mind that our “beloved” neighbours do bread like rabbits and have a plans to finish us off.
My fear is that we might end up like Assyrie people.
I am living in Europe in comfort, with job that I’m happy of, and nearly totally assimilated to western life like many others of our kind. That is the reality. If war will start, (I strongly belief it will) of course many of us will help and join the straggle. But real chance we have if we maintain strong alliance with superpower. No matter how brave we are, it’s simply to many of them and unfortunately we are not as good organised as we should be to resist this mass.

Most critical point is
1. To rid of corruption. That is the real “killer” for Armenia economy.
2. Brake the blockade. At least through Georgia. For that Armenian politicians must work on peace between Georgia and Russia (it wont be easy one).

If economy start growing, naturally people will repatriate. I personally will return with my skills to contribute, like many others I’m sure. It is pointless to comeback and live in poverty with blind patriotism as one might become fed up and do more harm than good.

Please remember my Armenian patriots, only way we can survive if we put our brains to good use.
Stone age bravery is good but won’t be enough in our situation.

Is there still anybody who thinks we are not on the verge of extinction?

The music is by Yanni

kind of ironic if it's trying to tell "our music".

It uses nice imagery and words though.

What do you think of this one?

Re: Are Armenians on the verge of extinction?

I am just wondering but.
What would happen if ALL OF THE DIASPORA were to move to Armenia?

If you mean all at once (or within a short time period), then it would be just like any foreign element entering a state en masse...cultural and political chaos (think Mexicans and the USA).

With that said, I'm all for diasporan Armenians to move to Armenia, but in a controlled and deliberate way.

Anyway, it doesn't look like Armenia will have this problem anytime soon, if ever.
