Parallel Roads

[Sako]

I have seen in English with Turkish subtitles more than ten times
It was amazing, especially introduction part.

Yeah, it was an interesting movie. I know what it's like to see a movie a hundred times too . I'm a movie craze at times.

Protestant churcuhes, they are all opened and can be easily visited. But there are problems in Orthodox churches i think regarding the church staff.

Last week with my firend i went to Greek Orthodox church in Istanbul but they didnot allow us to enter.

Damn, that's not really good. I guess freedom is only possible in dreams in Turkey for most.

In Armenian, i like the most is Jirair which is my friend's name.

In English Arthur and in Turkish Ulash.

I like my own name which is Sarkis, named after Surb (Saint) Sarkis or Saco for short. I like the name Lina a lot too although I doubt its an Armenian name. For an English name, I'd say Jason is a good name. I don't know any Turkish names though so can't say which is my favorite.

I think you misunderstood. A duty of church stops in front of the door and didnot let us to come in. That's not related to state policy. If you are not Greek, simply they dont let you in Greek church.

[Sako]

Understood, I thought they didn't allow you in for other reasons.

Saco, one of my research subject (as a hobby of course) Kurdish Ezidis (or Yezidis) and i know some of them live in Armenia. Unfortunately, many Ezidis of Turkey migrated to Germany. Do you know something about them?

[Sako]

Sorry bro, can't help you there.

[ardakilic]

But i think they are happy with their lives. At least i hope so.

What do you want to know about Yezidis in Armenia? When I lived in Armenia I had many Yezidi neighbors... They are mostly hard working people. They got an official community in Armenia and I think they have a representative in Armenian Parliament...

From what I understand the Yezidis do not onsider themselves Kurds necessarily bit simply Yezidis; a different entity altogether. Their relgion is very much related to Zoroastrianism.

That's pretty good. I do not intend anything. Just curious and want to know further about an Anatolian community.

DAMN, sorry Arda, this is rediculous. YEZDIS? I read it wrong. Of course I know them. Living in Armenia and not seeing Yezdi's is pretty much impossible. Sorry for the confusion. I was really drowsy when I was writing to you yesterday at night, lol.

Where I live there are lot's of Abarantsis at the moment but there are Yezdis. Believe it or not, some of the richest people in Armenia are Abarantsis and Yezdis. They really do work hard and all but I have to agree, they have their awkward moments from time to time. That's one of the reasons people tease them so much but to tell you the truth, I'm still against all that crap. I respect them for who they are and there are really great people amongst them. Their just people like all of us. It's simply become a motto to tease them and all. This is changing though.
