Armenia stands today because of Iran?

Re: Armenia stands today because of Iran?

actually people in iran found our culture better than theirs.specially in Tehran.children who born in half iranian and half armenian marriages want to call themselves armenian not iranian

That would depend on which side of the family is more involved with the children. Whichever culture is more affectionate towards the children is usually the culture that wins over their loyalty.

Parskahay makes a good point there, assimilation is a twoway street. Plenty of turcks and persians even russians and georgians have been assimilated into our community. Just because a minority community exists or has existed a long time does not mean assimilation did not occure. As a matter of fact the fact that that community is stable or growing slowly or declining means that assimilation is taking its toll.

An Armenian in Iran IS different than an Persian in Iran. Whereas assimilation in America is so fast paced that in one generation you can't tell the difference between two vastly different cultures because the children almost fully absorb nothingness.

Re: Armenia stands today because of Iran?

Assimilation is one of thé greatest threats today for us Armenians.

that is what I've been emphasizing all along. Western culture promotes such assimilation and the ideal that merging culture is the best thing. It promotes and praises wh-ores in society evident by the "sexual" revolution. I don't live in Glendale, but from what I hear the western culture there has made a good amount of Armenians turn in this direction, very sad.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a noise?

If the Iranian wasn't there in the first place, there wouldn't be any "business" transactions. That's what is called having economic power over another individual. You think Mexicans sell themselves out to Americans and other foreigners because they want to? Hell no... $10 to them is like a fortune.

Here I am going to agree with Dre, Mexican women sell themselves because after the xxxx up that was NAFTA, many women don't any other way to make money, the maquilladores pays so xxxxing little that the only other work you can find after your 20 hour job if you are a women is prostitution.
For children it's child labour, and prostitution sometimes as well.

You see that's how fun things are due to Anglo involvement, they dictate our own economic policy, use us for cheap labour, have their companies illegally bring us into the US, which we come to because we get no money back home, we get paid nothing without any labour rights, and then get deported and told not to complain...makes me wish we won the 1848 war.

Well, Mexicans have it easy compared to Armenians, so I wouldn't complain if I was you. Western corruptness is already well alive in your culture so there not much you can do.

Mexico is corrupt and full of shady individuals but that's mostly due to foreign government involvement with the drug cartels. Otherwise, most of the population is your run of the mill, poverty stricken class of people who are willing to work for $2 an hour to support their families.

I wish you won that one to! Capitolism does indeed enslave humanity while claiming to empower it.

Yes, having half your land stolen, your people lynched, facing Genocide and then cultural Genocide by a white government trying to force you to become Spanish/Mestizo in Mexico, or Anglo assimilated in America, while facing exploitation both at home and in the US really is easy.

Tell you what, how about you tell me if we have it so easy, that while most of the population is Nahuatl or Mayan descended, only 1.5 Million speak Nahuatl and there are only 8 Million Mayans left, how do you think we disappeared from being the dominant people in the region with one city having well over a million people, ozzmosis?
