If you couldn't marry an Armenian.....

Re: If you couldn't marry an Armenian.....

do you realy do not understand it, do you. We are turks(we are not under turkish yoke.) Our ancestors could become greeks or armenians but They decided not to be greeks and prefered to become Turks. Three of my grand grandfather lost their life at ww1 and independence war and I have no reason to refuse their decision.


And even If I become greek, I will not care for aphrodit(except when I am dreaming.) or greek culture.

This is so absurd that it's just funny. These Turks say the darnest things!

So may I ask a question? Why do Armenians feel it necessary to only marry another Armenian? I would marry whoever I fell in love with, whether it be a white, brown, asian, armenian, etc.

and I'm talking to the ones that live in the U.S.

My wife is Non Armenian & we are very happy togheter.
Some Armenians feel it necessary because maybe some are old fashion. It all depends on who you fall in love with. I know alot of Armenians that are married & are miserable.

If he lives in America, then it is normal. A large portion have assimilated and become one people here. It is wrong to get mad at him or put pressure on people like him to marry an Armenian. They should be allowed to marry whoever they want.

A serious question for you. If those people are so focused on marrying within their own race, and keeping their culture strong, why not just move back to wherever they come from?

This is the point I try to make. I completely agree with you; Armenian culture can only survive - and flourish - in Armenia. The Diaspora is doomed to extinction, so why marry within the race if you don't plan to move back?

There are many on this forum with this line of thinking.

Yes, and there are a few ethnic groups that are guilty of this, not just Armenians. I'm all for keeping people's cultures alive, but through other ways such as keeping traditions, and even teaching their kids the language if they feel it necessary. Not through segregating themselves from everybody else. The U.S., especially Los Angeles County, is a huge melting pot. Those who try to separate themselves from our culture limit themselves dramatically, and really don't benefit from it.

It is not my intention to start a big ruccus on this guys, I was just wondering where that thought pattern comes from.
