you missed my point... no harm done. if you are so concerned then keep this in mind. the diaspora is not the future of our nation. it is needed at this moment in time. small, landlocked or not we do have our own nation. we do need young, energetic, and idealistic people to make our nation a better place for Armenians to live in. that should be the topic we are discussing, not who marries who. in the end if an Armenian living in Armenia marries an odar then there is really no harm done. the odar married to an armenian and their children become armenian by being immersed in the culture and the people.
No, that wont work. The point is, inter-ethnic marriages will do just that - it will cause new generation of Armenians to lose the connection they have with Armenia. Its already worse than you can imagine. Most of our youth doesn't want to go back to Yerevan unless their Hayastancis, they maybe want to go visit Haleb or Beruit - see their old families or see where they gew up/where their parents are from. I've seen this with my own eyes - I thought it was natural for an Armenian kid to want to go and live in Armenia. But no, thats not the case - its cause they've lost the connection. And you can expect that to happen to future generations on even a bigger scale.
Look, I've thought about this plenty..try to make a nice compromise to make both sides happy. There is none. The only thing we can say to do is:
Agree that inter-ethnic marriages are ok/good as long as the kids stay connected with our culture. That would be beautiful.
However, that is unrealistic - anyway you look at it.

I can do nothing but laugh at that. Either you choose to ignore logic and history or you're incapable of understanding it.
Don't point out individual examples. There were Nazis who tried to save xxxs. That doesn't change the story. History has shown - no race has maintained culture in the mist of assimilation. NO RACE. The closest thing is the xxxs, and they've maintained mainly their religion. And they've been isolated by society - had they been embraced God knows what would've happened.
Stop trying to argue with me with these dumbass points.

Im not arguing with you & a little coutesy wouldnt hurt either. You marry an Armenian girl goodluck to you but dont come & call people names when they stae there opinions.
