If you call yourself 100% Armenian, you should learn Armenian, go to Armenia,and sustain your Armenian heritage or else its pointless in saying you are 100% Armenian. And make sure you marry an Armenian nobody else.

Re: White people dating Armenian

I am 100% Armenian, both my parents are Armenian.
Just because I dont speak or write it makes me less Armenian?
Like I told you the Armenians who survived the Genocide came to America around 1915-1920 wanted to be American and put the horrible thing behind them, they taught their kids to speak in English and be American, their kids taught their children the same values.
So their not real Armenians either?
Just because you dont speak in Armenian doesnt make you less Armenian.
I have never met any guy thats Armenian, so how would I marry one?
I would be single forever.

It's sad, but for 99.9% of Amerikahais, being an "Armenian" is like wearing a favorite shirt on weekends or holidays.

Your children will be lost is what they will be.

Perhaps you can start working towards your "miracle" by stopping yourself from hanging out in bars and begin seeking Armenian organizations and youth groups.

I am 100% Armenian, both my parents are Armenian.

Yes, you are biologically an Armenian and you do acknowledge the fact that you come from an Armenian lineage. However, based on the description of you lifestyle and the environment in which you live, your off-springs will not be Armenians. If you think that being an Armenian, or preserving your Armenian heritage, is important in your life then you simply have to take some measures to change your lifestyle and your environment. However, if you don't think that it's very important for you then, yeah, you are an Armenian by name only.

Before you make a decision one way or another, however, I suggest you take trip, a tour, to the Armenian Republic. There are many groups organized by young adults that might interest you. Or better yet, you may want to temporarily live in Armenia as a volunteer. Just know that there are many young adults today from America just like you who live and work in Armenia. And there are many-many more who spend their summers there. However, you first have to discover the Armenian spirit within you.

And one last thing: It does not matter whether you are 100% Armenian, 50% Armenian, or 25% Armenian, what matters is whether or not you have the Armenian spirit dwelling within you.

Birth Right Armenia would be an excellent place for someone like you. I know some people who are involved with the organization. If you want, I can help you get in touch with them: Birth Right Armenia: http://www.birthrightarmenia.org/




Some more organizations if interested.

I came to the states when I was little, and my parents made sure my first language was Armenian, and talked to me in Armenian at home and always implemented Armenian culture and morals on me. Therefore, I had a desire to go back to my motherland every year. To always sustain my "Armenian" in spite of where I am and who is around me. I have read many books about Armenian history, politics and many things. There is a difference in being an Armenian in blood and being an Armenian in spirit. And when you say that they taught their kids to "speak in English and be American," that is wrong because where ever Armenians have went (this is a Armenian moral) they have always sustained their language, culture, and morals at home and made sure their kids would never forget their Armenian heritage.

Re: White people dating Armenian

The Armenians who came to America around 1915 did keep their traditions and customs but wanted to be American unlike the Armenians who come to America today..
My grandmother said we only speak English with other people and in public, yes my parents know Armenian- not that well, felt there was no need for me to learn it since i grew up in a non-armenian area where everyone spoke english.
Just because you dont speak the language or write it does not make you less armenian, i would not be in this forum if i didnt feel armenian.
