Its an indigenous Caucasian trait (different from Russian). Its even more prevalent in North Caucasus amongst Circassians, Chechens, etc.. And for the Armenians in Javakh, I don't think they have had a lot intermingling with Russians.



A small number of Iranians show such traits too. By the way, "blond" that I'm talking about is more like "dirty blond (very light brown)" not like Swedish or Finnish bright yellow.

Light brown is a very common trait indeed. In general I've noticed that Armenian children have very light features, which tend to get darker as they get older. Still, I've seen Armo redheads with freckles, Armos with blue eyes.

Now, the majority though, as Lucin suggested, is darker featured, I think, with brown eyes, darker colored hair, etc. But it does make sense doesn't it, since everywhere except among scandinavian/germanic/north slavic peoples the darker look seems to be more common and even predominant. Aren't Romanians darker than lighter, or Sicilians or Greeks? I suppose it's the same with Caucasians. Of course, the problem is that the more south you live, the more contact and intermingling you've had either with Semites (Moors, Arabs) or Mongoloids, naturally changing your real ethnic genetic makeup.

I'm a bit puzzeled. But isn't blondism a non-Caucasian ( probably Russian)influence?? For instance, we have very few blonde Persian-Armenians... take into consideration that Armenians have been living in Iran for over 400 years and interracial marriage has been very rare...

Lucin, jan.

It depends on where the original Armenian ancestry comes from. Don't forget the term Armenia, or Metcn Hayq, is applied to a geographical area, a vast mountainous area. Thus, the terms Armenia and Hayq are not names of a specific nation/race. In the ancient times many different Aryan and Caucasian tribes lived within the territories of what we now know as Historic Armenia. And most Armenian communities lived isolated from other Armenian communities for thousands of years. In the course of our long national history, many of the different 'proto-Armenian' tribes of the area in question came to be known as Armenians. However, each region kept is unique form of Armenianism, per say. Some were lighter skinned than others, some were more warlike than others, etc.. Obviously, we also have mixed Armenians. We have Russian-Armenian mixes in the Caucasus. And we have Armenian-Assyrian mixes in the Middle East. And lets also take into consideration that during the early stages of Christianity many Persians and other regional Christians became Armenians as well.

Although most pure blooded Armenians today are brunettes many pure bloods are blonds and redheads as well. And one is not more Armenian than the other. You can see allot of blondism in the regions outside of the big cities in Armenia, and it has nothing to do with mixing with Russians. Anyway, blond or brunette, its all irrelevant for me. In an Armenian, I look for decency, intellect and patriotism.

And I do agree with you that Parskahai women are quite attractive

Lucin, 'real' Armenian are blond and brunette. In the caucasus is full of blondism. It's even more prevalent amongst Armenians in Javakh.

Do you like have a thick skull? Did you not read people saying that they or their family members are blond who are 100% Armenian with blond hair and blue eyes?

Don't worry. Some blondes are also hot.
But in all seriousness, 'real' Armenians, genetically speaking are not blonde.

Yes Freaky, Persian-Armenian women are HOT!!!

eaxctly, my hair color and eye color doesn't make me any more or less armenian than the guy who sits next to me. the level of ignorance though, and arrogance, as seen in some posts, leads me to wonder as to how incredibly behind some people are. it is the frustrations of high school, totally, but i don't know how many more times i can be stand to be discrimnated against. perhaps their mistreatment and pathetic demeanor will catch up with them, sooner or later.
