Life in Armenia

Re: Armenia

I used the quote of love your enemy, because while I am not a Christian I figured since more than half of the Armenians on here claim to be, and noticed how they always love bragging about how we were the first Christian nation, that maybe they would be interested in learning and living up to the sayings and teachings of their supposed Lord, Jesus Christ.

Can you please point out people on this forum who have claimed to be Christian that would meet your assertion of "more than half"?

And lest you confuse the issue, I think more members are conscious of the religion in the role it has played among Armenian history, and now, having acquired a more cultural essence, and exists as such, as opposed to a purely religious one. Culture implies participation for the sake of some sort of identifying marker, than any true dogmatic sense of the concept.

Re: Armenia

Srop quoting the bible because in this case it means nothing. And why should we help the Kurds. Weren't they also their to kill our people, rape our women, kidnap the children. Some people forget soon what has happened to our nation and they have done to our ancestors. 20 years later what will you be starting to say, Turks are our borders we shouldn't demand our lands back. I for on edon't care what Jesus, Ghandi or Buda have said. And maybe the problem is that more Armenians should forget it, maybe then we can get our lands back.

@Anon can you please point out the sarcastic part out, because I don't see it.

I don't care either, it's just that most Armenians care they claim what the bible/Jesus has to say and i thought you seemed like one. As for the Kurds while it's true they took part in the genocide, what would you have them do disobey and be deported and die for you? If the Turks had they told us to deport and kill the Kurds or face punishment ourselves, do you think we would have told them no? The Kurds accept the genocide today and apologize for their part in it. A state of Kurdistan bordering Turkey would help Armenia out in many ways

Re: Armenia

ara, you really need to educate yourself on what the "Turk" is, like Karo said, our idea of a Turk is a very vile creature....

Maybe your idea is the uneducated one. While human beings are creatures, no human is a "creature" in the derogatory way you are implying it.

While the idea of loving your enemy may sound noble, in the real world it will only get you beaten, raped, or killed. So how about we live by a more realistic motto, live and let live.

I used the quote of love your enemy, because while I am not a Christian I figured since more than half of the Armenians on here claim to be, and noticed how they always love bragging about how we were the first Christian nation, that maybe they would be interested in learning and living up to the sayings and teachings of their supposed Lord, Jesus Christ.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God, is also a good verse. You should strive your best to make peace. This verse also goes hand in hand with love your enemy

Even this though is unrealistic as there is always someone who wants something that another has, especially in the case of countries, and turkey just as much as ottoman turkey, would love to see Armenia disappear from the face of the earth. Mind you the times have changed, but the Turkish, genocidal mentality is as alive as ever; case in point Kurds.

Many countries would love to see another gone. Do you not think that some Armenians, even if Wilsonian Armenia became a reality would not secretly wish that they could still expand the borders to that of Tigran's empire?

As for the Kurds, it is highly unfortunate, but many Armenians are in no moral position to judge. As long as you have resentment and hate in your heart towards the Turk, no matter how small of a corner it may occupy, you know that deep down you harbor ill fates towards them(Turks) in some cases the same ill fate that occurred to your own people, which makes you just the same as those who committed the deed. (What's that bible verse about thinking a sin is the same as committing it?) What has Armenia done to help the situation of the Kurds anyways? And what do you think the government of Armenia would do to Kurds if one day they claimed part of Armenia as Kurdistan and we were in the position to do anything and get away with it?

Watch your mouth

ever insult Asala by calling them terrorists got it. THose men are heroes true heroes who have done more for Armenia than you will do in your life. So watch out how you talk about our heroes.

Terrorist & Patriot are the same thing, it just depends what side of the battle field your on. I said terrorist, b/c to the Turks and the rest of the world that's what they were, and it is one of the many reasons the Turks do not believe us, especially since those diplomats (and some civilians)were killed in cold blood, and not in time of war. Personally i think they(A.S.A.L.A,J.C.A.G,A.R.A) were....well I'll not insult them here.. and in the long run only made things worse

Other good verses:

Romans 12:19 Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord.

Deuteronomy 32:35 It is mine to avenge; I will repay.…

Mark 12:31 The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these. (the Turks are our Neighbors)

Other good Gandhi quotes:

Anger is the enemy of non-violence and pride is a monster that swallows it up.

Be the change that you want to see in the world.

Before the throne of the Almighty, man will be judged not by his acts but by his intentions. For God alone reads our hearts.

I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ (this one is one of my favorites)

Re: How do you imagine your ''Ideal Armenia''?

And my ideal Armenia is an Armenia without xxxxers like you.

My idle Armenia wouldn't have dumb@ss' or even worse, agent provocateurs. Get the hint?

This is a warning. Watch your language. You know the rules. Don't be assholes or else I'll treat you like one. The original post was a sarcastic joke. If you can't make a distinction between that and intentional/malicious insults you don't need to be bothered with.

Re: Armenia

Ara I now know what kind of Armenian you are. Thanks for pointing that out. And helping proving that Armenian's theory about Armenians is true.

And a little warning for you, ever insult Asala by calling them terrorists got it. THose men are heroes true heroes who have done more for Armenia than you will do in your life. So watch out how you talk about our heroes.

Re: Armenia

ara, you really need to educate yourself on what the "turk" is, like Karo said, our idea of a turk is a very vile creature, those who admit to the Genocide are few, those who admit to the Genocide and agree that Armenia is due money and/or land are almost none, and in essence they are not really turks anymore.


While the idea of loving your enemy may sound noble, in the real world it will only get you beaten, raped, or killed. So how about we live by a more realistic motto, live and let live. Even this though is unrealistc as there is always someone who wants something that another has, especially in the case of countries, and turkey just as much as ottoman turkey, would love to see Armenia disappear from the face of the earth.

Re: Armenia

Do you really think that the rest of the world is going to let Armenia have an a-bomb?

Wouldn't be bad, we'd be virtually untouchable.

So luckily nothing happened the first time, so i guess that means we should take more chances

Well, the primary reason why it happened is because the NPP was built in the 70s meaning it was pretty old. Even at that not much damage happened. Any new NPP will probably meet all earthquake safety standards considering it will be a project built by Russian, Armenian and even American specialists. Armenia's NPP(s) are the cleanest, cheapest and most reliable way to ensure Armenia's energy and reduce its dependence on oil. Then the Georgian border won't be so much of a problem.

When they rebuild the cities let them put solar panels on top, Lebanese money was worth less than Dram before the last Israel Lebanon conflict, and they still managed to build world class buildings.

Hold on lol, this is a trap. Most of what the Lebanese are able to build is because Saudi Arabia and the other gulf states inject millions (billions) into Lebanon "humanitarian" aid.

Do you know what kind of a state they live in today? banned from even speaking of it?

A people make a state. Their people put this upon themselves and nothing more.

all they grew up with were Armenian terrorists assassinating Turkish diplomats and their families

Watch your mouth

Re: Armenia

What can green energy bring us, will it protect us against Turkish agresion? No it won't but if we build a nuclear power plant can be used to make a-bombs in the long run.

Do you really think that the rest of the world is going to let Armenia have an a-bomb?

And the last earthquake that damaged Lenakan and destroyed Spitak didn't harm the first power plant.

So luckily nothing happened the first time, so i guess that means we should take more chances

And green energy is much to expensive. The money can be used somewhere else where it's needed more like rebuilding the cities.

When they rebuild the cities let them put solar panels on top, Lebanese money was worth less than Dram before the last Israel Lebanon conflict, and they still managed to build world class buildings. Anyways green technology may cost high, but in the long run will give free electricity to the country

keep your insults to your self or I'll insulting. Got it, I know who dose guys are. And I loved reading Taner's book, and i don't consider him a turk. I think you should educate yourself what Turks are and they did to our nation through the course of the history. And your the firt Armenian I have seen defending Turks and attacking an other Amrenian Because he doesn't like Turks. Why do you defend our enemies?

Gandhi once said, "An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind." It is not the common Turk's fault that he was brought up believing a lie, while it may be difficult to remember this when you argue with one or run into anti Armenian propaganda, you should try your best to. What good is it to have an a-bomb? all that would do is escalate the situation and cause more hate and suffering. Would you use this bomb on your enemy? Can that not be considered an act of genocide itself? Even if you think it is not, it brings you down to the level of the Turks of 1915 that committed the crime.

How can you go around condemning Turks for committing genocide based on racism and intolerance, and then go and repeat something as something as racist as "the only good Turk is a dead Turk." How can you be so shameful? Are you a fool? Do you not think that there were Turks during the genocide that helped out Armenians in minor or major ways? Do you know what kind of a state they live in today? banned from even speaking of it? Propaganda is shoved down their throats left and right, from the moment of birth, none the people in charge were there for the genocide, they do not know the truth, all they grew up with were Armenian terrorists assassinating Turkish diplomats and their families, can you blame them for not believing you? Do you think the ordinary citizen of Turkey should have to face fines and/or imprisonment for acknowledging something that did not even happen to their own people? Who are you to judge them? We actually have people from Turkey checking out this site, and other Armenian sites, because maybe they are actually wondering what we have to say and you and every other Armenian like you just proves to them what they already believe.

43“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45so that you may be children of your Father in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous. 46For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47And if you greet only your brothers and sisters, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. Matthew 5:43 - 5:48

Re: Armenia

ARMENIA RESEMBLES INDIA
Rishkka is a three-wheel bicycle which can transport up to 3-4 passengers at a time.
Drivers can speed up to 35km/h. The bicycle can also work by a sun-accumulator.
The number of rikshas will probably increase in the capital streets as young environmentalists have applied to the City Hall for further assistance.
From http://www.a1plus.am/en/?page=issue&iid=63496

the idea could be interesting, but unfortunately to my knowledge, yerevan and specially the hills sourrounding the central city can't allow the use of such vehicle. after all men are not ants having the ability to carry weights of 6-7 times of their own, and sun accumulator propulsed vehicle will come out of the rishka concept, so to invest in rishkas just to drive on some portions of machdots ave, or to attract curious people or a tour for tourists is a little bit exagereated
