Hi Guys I Am A Newbie

Parev Tsez,

My name is Aris, I am from Melborne, Australia. I am 18 years old, I was born in Melbourne also . Studying commerce/engineering at university. I am passionate about anything Armenian. I am fluent in English, Armenian and Turkish. My mother was born in Kharpert, my father was born in zara-sepasdia. I still have relatives living in Kharpert, which will be pleasing to you all, knowing that there is an armenian presence in mayr hayasdan. My grandfather was in Kharpert only a few months ago and will be bringing back photos and footage of kharpert which i can share with you guys.

Thanks
Aris

Hello - I'm from California. Don't hate me!!! hehehe. My mother immigrated from Aintab when she was 9 with her parents and brother. My father's family came from Kharpert and Diyarbakir. I don't speak Armenian or Turkish as one side of the family spoke Turkish and the other side Armenian, so we spoke English together. I wish I had learned. I am now researching my family history and putting the pieces of the puzzle together so I'm very interested to hear about all these places and what is happening. Thanks for having me.

How come your name is in Turkish then? (unless it means something completely different)

Hi - that's not really my name. In Turkish, it means, my little lamb. It's an endearing term that my grandmother used for us little kids. It makes me think of her so I used it as my moniker. I did listen to both sides of my family speaking in Turkish and Armenian all my life, so I do know some words. At one time I could understand a lot of what was being said and I even studied the Armenian alphabet when I was little.

My grandparents spoke Turkish as apparently, in Aintab, they were told they must speak Turkish - or else. She learned Armenian later on in life. The funny thing is about so many of the correspondence, notes, etc., that I have from that side of the family are in Turkish but with Armenian characters. And they call it Ottoman Turk, so it must be an ancient language even from today. Anyway, it's really hard to get it translated. First I have to find someone who speaks both and then that they are interested in spending the time to do the translating.

Anyway, hope that helps.

How are all of you?


I hope all are fine.

Actually i was on the net trying to get any information about Armenia, then I found this site .

I met around 6 people from Armenia working in Dubai, which is near my country, and really I found them very good people.

I tried once to go to Yerevan but I didn't find any friend to go with.


I hope i will go once.


Thank you.
