Re: Armenians are Europeans ( and white ) !

Armenia is not in Asia its not because WIkipedia says it thats its true lol, what delimits Asia and Europe are the Ural mountains not country borders, if Geographers all agree with this who are we to say its not true ?

You're in denial.

Re: Armenians are Europeans ( and white ) !

While I agree about white, that does not translate to European. European is a geographic term. I have seen many maps that have portrayed Armenia in Europe. I have seen many others that have labelled it in Asia. I have seen it referred to as Middle Eastern. Borders and boundaries are conceptual and in no way static, absolute or tangible. They change as perceptions change, and more importantly, as cultures, races and civilizations change.

Very interresting point and granted we have much more middle-eastern infuence than most other European ethnicities but does that make us middle-eastern ? Immagine the genocide would never have hapenned and we would all have still lived in Armenia nobody would e labelling us as Middle-eatserners everybody would agree we are europeans, of course like you said ethnicites change but in my opinion not in any way that we can change from our european status to a middle-eastern status, don't you think ?

Re: Armenians are Europeans ( and white ) !

We're ot caucasian our language is not caucasian many languages have taken roots in the caucasus like Georgian and all those other caucasian languages like Lezgin, chechen etc etc, of course im proud to be caucasian because thats what we are right now and people migrate and we have beatiful mountains but the thing is we were not always in the caucasus if we were in the balkhans or not is only a theory but we oblivouly arent native to the caucasus since our language does not ressemble ANY other caucasian language at all

By Caucasian, I meant white. The brits are Caucasian too.

And where are you coming from with your claim that our language doesn't resemble any Caucasian language at all, are you out of your mind! You know how we have our voiced, semi-voiced and voiceless consonants (the 3 sounds for roughly the same letter, although the Eastern Armenians are the only ones who actually pronounce them all), that very mechanism is derived from the Caucasian language group.

That's a pretty big deal if you ask me.

Okay, these are your statements and your allegations; the burden of proof is on you. Show us the sources where you got this information.

In the meantime, I'm going to listen to TomServo and listen to the mousey.

Goodnight, everybody.

Hmmm, ok, if Europe is delimited by the Urals to the east, then where is it delimited to the south-east? Today's official maps draw the line on the northern border of Georgia (roughly). Sorry, you lose

The Council of Europe will allow Kazakhstan to join the organization, because they have determined that the country is "partly in Europe," so maybe KotayKoskesh is on to something here!

I dont think sounds can be used to classify a language in a group but yes you may be right as as long as no other indo-european language has them which most likely is also the case

Re: Armenians are Europeans ( and white ) !

he's not... That issue deals with the eastern delimitation of Europe, at the Urals. I've noticed that part of Kazakstan is part of Europe in the new map. I've also noticed that a few square kilometers in northern Georgia are also in Europe.
