Hi again, everyone. I got another bright idea recently which may help us get together as a community. The forums aren't down, there just isn't much to talk about. This thread is called parallel roads because Turkey and Armenia have so much in common yet they sometimes forget. This thread's aim is to change that.
I've realized that one of our MAIN problems as Armenians and Turks (those that try to atleast believe us) is that we talk endlessly about only one thing, only one, the Genocide. What we must do is talk about other things as well which I don't really see. Joseph, I beg you to allow this thread to stay active and I'm sure it will help a lot. I would love it if you set one rule in this thread, we are never to talk of the Genocide but rather about each other which many of us haven't done in a long time or probably at all. We live by the past, that is extremely wrong, and I can understand why. Mainly because we don't understand each other or non-believers walk in. Let us in this thread though live in the present but respect, accept, and stand firm when we talk of the past, not LIVE and BREATH by it. That is what has become a "system" already for many, a motto. We think so much over the past alone that the present passes by. Let's try to do something different for once.

Hi, my name is Sarkis Buniatyan and I live in Yerevan, Armenia, but you can just call my Saco
.
I have a few questions, how many TV and Radio channels are there in Turkey?
What is your favorite Turkish movie, old and new?
What do you do in your spare time in Turkey (not on the net)?
What is your favorite Turkish recipe?
What Turkish events do you love the most in Turkey?
What Armenian events do you like the most?
Pedro Jan and everyone else that doesn't live in Turkey or isn't a Turk, please answer the same questions according to where you live and where your from. Here's how it works, you answer the questions and then ask one question that you would like to a member from a certain country. So if you want to ask me and Arda for example a question, you can only ask two questions because one is related to Armenian and the other to Turkey. I get to ask many questions in this post alone because I started the thread
. The questions can be answered by anyone so it's not like a question is directed to a specific person, rather the questions are directed to a certain country and it's citizens who are our members in the forums.
Ask only one question to each country, don't make it personal ("What do you like to do, Saco?"), NEVER TALK OF THE GENOCIDE, FORGET IT EXISTS (Only in this thread), be honest, have fun, and let's get together more as a community, as individual people, and maybe one day, our countries will get together. To move a mountain, we have to first remove the small stones but that doesn't mean we can depend on only this method. Right now though, this is a big step for our community I'm sure and if we can help each other here, that will be a step forward and it may not mean a lot to the world but it will mean a lot to us. We don't have to change the world, we have to change ourselves. Let's set an example without thinking of changing the world. One random act of kindness is how we begin to change anything.
Before I go, I ask sincerely for all of you to keep this thread alive, no matter what, I think it's very important we talk to each other. I don't consider talking about the Genocide alone as talking to each other. That's a fact war.
