Re: The Resurrection

The diaspora is doomed.

This is pretty much the biggest most obvious statement that all Armenians in the diaspora who are truly concerned about what it means to be Armenian must consider.

In the long-run the diaspora will disappear. Any hope of maintaining Armenian culture lies in Armenia.

If anyone doubts this, all one has to do is study Armenian history and see how the diasporan communities of Armenians in the Crimea, or Poland, eventually disappeared.

There's really no two ways about it.

Re: The Resurrection

Your repatriation is the best news I've ever heard on this forum! I think it's one of the best decisions you could ever make. It is specially good for your children, actually calling it "good" is an underestimation, it is absolutely wondeful for your children.

Thank you Amrotz, but I wouldn't call what I am doing - repatriation. I have taken the first big step. The rest has to come about gradually and naturally. Nonetheless, I want my children to look at Armenia as a homeland and not as an abstract concept - like when William Saroyan foolishly said anywhere when two Armenians meet see if they don't create a new Armenia...

Armenia can only be in one place - in Armenia. The diaspora is doomed. If we are concerned about Armenia - then we must look towards Armenia.

I want Armenia to be an actual/physical home for me and my children.

Armenian, I'm glad to hear that you are in Armenia. I can't wait to go back there myself. As soon as my son is old enough to travel, I'll be there...maybe 6 months?

Good luck, comrade. I'm in your neighborhood by the way.

Re: The Resurrection

I'll be posting from Armenia for the next couple of months. After years of contemplating it I finally purchased a home in our homeland last year. I already have my Armenian passport and my socialakan apahovutyan kard as well. Yes, my first step to repatriation after a thousand years of exile! My little children are looking forward to the trip.

All that was missing is this:

Haven't had a good laugh like this around here for a while.

Do you mean that there's a chance that he was being serious? Hard to believe. I honestly thought that he was doing the clown and being funny.
It also made me laugh.

P.S. I laughed when I saw the picture of the lone candle in the dark, how very dramatic indeed :P

Re: The Resurrection

That person you were referring to was not me. I have only engaged in harsh rhetoric when the moderation here has not been around to stop others from inciting such clashes. I also don't standby and allow self haters and lunatics here to attack and slander the Armenian Republic.

Alright, sorry I assumed it was you, that poster did seem off character to begin with to pass as you, however his brand of name calling reminded me of the variety you have used in the past. Anyway, I'm glad your back Also, I've never been to Armenia but I hope all goes well for you and your family there.

Re: The Resurrection

What?!!!!! I thought he's a pure Armenian! He's a darn impostor, I say ban him!

You should have known as an Armenian what he ment by .... "Yes, my first step to repatriation after a thousand years of exile!"

Remember, we both have Cilician blood.
Stay out of politics and work on the economy.
