Wishing more political influence of diaspora in our homeland ...dreaming of world wide armenian banking system helping of there own ..straightening the communities and in there own turn enriching Armenia with their talents skills and innovations .

I saw your post in the other thread about you considering repatriating but the conditions in Armenia preventing it. What specific conditions are these, and how does life in Athens today compare to life in Yerevan?

Re: What kind of Armenian are you?

All the Armenians on this thread are of the Superior kind (or, as they are called by anyone not a member of their caste, the usual jerks).

Can you explain please?

Re: What kind of Armenian are you?

Thanks Eddo.
Bell, I seriously cannot understand what in the world you are on about. This is about sharing our heritage with each other and having thoughtful conversation. You just come in here talking about "superior" armenians, and "society" (No offense, but you sound like a hipster). Why not share your family heritage and origin with us?

Not learned to read?

I see a lot of Armenians who claim their history it is important to them but see very few Armenians who have learned anything from it.

Reading your delusional posts requires a twisted mind to understand so don't pick on Chubs and trolling his thread.....Mods should also give you few days off so you can read the forum rules.
in fact take the rest of the year since you don't know Armenians or their history and their struggle when you think you do and judge a whole race.

And if nothing useful has been learned from something so dramatic, either there is something wrong with the whole concept of learning from history, or there is something wrong with the way Armenian society is using its history.

No there is something wrong with you.....dramatic? like I said, you know jack xxxx.
now piss off.

Re: What kind of Armenian are you?

My father is one year away from 90. He is the last one in my emmediate family whose parents went through the genocide.
I talked with him again to get the story. Still sketchy. His father (my grandfather) kept ending up in Alexandropol from western Armenia.

Interesting, my mothers side of the family is from western Armenia. But the family history is also sketchy, what is clear is that they left Armenia to America well before the Armenian genocide (so around 1900-1910). But one thing we do have is the diary of the father of the family. The grandfather was a drunkard (and was considered a bad influence), so they left him in Armenia and the family built a life for themselves in San Francisco; after some time in Palestine.

Kept going into western Armenia but kept ending up in Alexandropol. Story keeps going in circles.my father is old and I don't want to push, so I need to find another source.
I have relatives in Chicago that have a bible with everyone's signature written in it that made it to America and/or France.
While thinking of this, my memory was stirred. I called my twin sister to verify and she also remembered suddenly.
When we were very small my grandmother (DerGarbedian) used to teach us songs in French. And teach us French words.
The only other thing I could get was in Alexandropol it was crowded and the people were more than poor. Everyone was confused and didn't know what to do at all. All my grandfathers discriptions end with devestation when talking of Alexandropol, and ugliness when talking of western Armenia.
