Western Armenians

Re: Western Armenians

I've just seen many of these Western Armenians, who because of stupidity label themselves as middle-easterns thus listen to arabic music, eat their food, and feel at home with these things. They embrace muslims and at times are fine with being labeled as Muslim. I don't know where this comes from. Hayastancis have much much less of this tendency abroad.

It's the biggest shame to do that because Armenians are not like that. If one is going to ignore their armenian culture at least don't go after that trash muslim culture.

Armenia has started to go in the direction of EU not of Iran or other muslim countries. In order to progress, that is what Armenia should continue doing.

I still 100% disagree with the point of this thread. The problem has nothing to do with muslims or arabs or labelling themselves as Middle Easterns. An Armenian who listens to American hip hop and cannot identify a single Armenian song other than "karoun karoun karoun e" and "ayp pen kim" is no better, imo. When I see a hot shot Armenian dude pass by with his sunglasses and his nice car, with his hip hop, speaking english all day long, even with his Armenian buddies, and doesn't know what Karabakh is, I see that more "disgusting" than Armenians who listen to Arabic music and are proud Lebanese civilians, but who actually go and fight for Armenia when the time comes. Our true enemy is assimilation and whatever forces us to be in a position where assimilation threatens us (Turkey and Azerbaijan), not muslims or Arabs, and assimilation is true for Hayastancis as well, as long as they're not involved in Hayastan anymore. And about muslims and Arabs, don't get brainwashed by American propaganda. War on terror is aka war on black gold.
