I'm half Armenian. Half Australian.

But living in Australia my Australian half is sooooo boring .

Re: Half Armenians

I think it should be milieu ( without 'd'); meaning surroundings/ environment. It is a French word.

Re: Half Armenians

There happens to be a mildieu of them here in Glendale. It's a horrific and tragic site to see. Really.

What the heck is a 'mildieu'?

Re: Half Armenians

Dude, you just lost me. I don't know what you are arguing...

Anyway, the point is, the diaspora is headed towards eventual oblivion regardless of what we do. We should be seeking to make our homeland a better place to live in so that the average Armenian living there does not have an 'excuse' to think about leaving the country. The only important entity in this debate is the 'homeland' - not even the Armenian individual, per say. So, efforts spent in the diaspora is efforts wasted. Our limited resources should exclusivly be spent within our homeland.

Nevermind, your right in that we are just arguing at this point, I don't intend to argue, thats not my intention, I just don't like repeating myself, so lets stop here Enkar. I am trying tu sum up my point to you, the idea of accepting "mixes" is esentially the same as saying the Diaspora adapts, but the idea the idea that Diaspora can "adapt" and still retain Armenian identity will in itself lead to the decline of the Armenian state beucase you are taking away the intangible drive of state building by those in the homeland. The idea that we as the Diaspora can offer a solution is counter productive to state, its a self fullfilling prophacy, I hope that helps, if you want to reply pm, sorry for the confusion, I gotta run out for the night.

Armenian those are wise words. Much of the Diaspora doesn't know what being Armenian is.
