Re: How do Armenian feel about Mount Ararat?

Also, there may be difference (or even indifference) to how an Armenian feels about Mount Ararat, depending on what kind of Armenians would be describing it to you. It is something of a pan-Armenian symbol, but how would an Armenian in 19th century Edirne and his/her descendants view it compared to a 19th century Armenian from the Ararat valley and his/her descendants?

Why do Armenians from the former Soviet Union see Nairi as a masculine name, while the diaspora see it as a feminine?

I guess the purpose of using Ararat as an national image was to try and find something that all Armenians could identify with, regardless of where they lived. Here's a sheet music cover that was printed in Constantinople, around the 1900s, so the imagery was recognised by Armenians living there.

As a literate, or knowledgeable and being in Armenia, Iran, Turkey and Azerbaijan so many times, could you explain to us please what these pictures has to do with ” How do Armenian feel about Mount Ararat?”?

You are pathetic. My posts were all as a response to the OP's question or leading off from posts made by others. And they were interesting. Maybe you should get off your arse and try to answer the question of the OP yourself.

Most of the people here aren't particularly literate, or knowedgeable, and - most importantly for your question - they are not in Armenia. So you probably aren't going to get the answers you hope for.

[B]The only person I did not name reminds me of a priest for some reason but I can't identify who it can be exactly. But for the rest, I am pretty comfortable it's the people I named.

He could be Father Komitas

Sure.

The one in Yerevan I don't like. Looks like a Joan of Arc wannabe.

Good work with the identification, Fed! Apres!

Yes, thanks, great work! Whoever designed the card probably drew the faces from photographs. Any identification for the injured man with the flag?

The one in Gyumri is sexier. And more peaceful.
