ANNITA Posted March 6, 2002 Report Share Posted March 6, 2002 Nu chto j, kajetsya ya nachnu pervoi...I tak, jivu ya v Mosckve, pereekhala v 93 godu v vozraste 13 let. V to vremya navernoe bil samii bol`shoi potok armyan iz strani. Nu moya sem`ya ne stala isklyucheniem. Chestno govorya ya po yunnosti let ochen` khotela v Moskvu. Mne kazalos, chto chto tam za gorizontom menya jdet vse novoe i interesnoe. Ya napeeboi rasskazivala v svoei shkole v Erevane kakaya u menya budet shkola v Mosckve. No na samom dele ya prosto ne osoznavala togo, chto uejayu nadolgo, pochti navsegda.V real`noti Mosckva okazalas ne takoi kakoi ya ee zapomnila, kogda bila v detstve. Ya vdrug osoznala, chto takoe natsional`nost i chto lyudi mogut otsenivatsya imenno po etomu priznaku. Edinstvennoe chto bilo khorosho eto to chto postoyanno bil svet :)Pervii "shok". Nu pervii shok ya ispitala v shkole, kogda na vtoroi den` znakomstva moi odnoklassnitsi tak nevznachai sprosili menya ne kuryu li ya. Dalee raspitie moimi odnoklassnikami pivo na zadnei parte vo vremya zanyatii...Prichem eto bila ne prostaya shkola, s uglublennim uzucheniem inostrannikh yazikov, v tsentre goroda. I tak pered mnoi stoyal vibor libo zamknutsya v sebe tak kak ya ne bila prinyata v osnovnuyu tusovku, ili je pokazat` v kontse kontsov who is who!Da, doljna skazat`, chto otdayu dan` armyanskomu vospitaniyu i tomu chto v nas zalojeno uje na geneticheskom urovne. A imenno to chto khotim mi etogo ili net no chtem nashi traditsii i est` gran` kot. mi nikogda ne pereidem.Nu of course ya vibrala vtoroe. Na moi vzglyad mnogie imigranti (terpet` ne mogu eto slovo) ne pravi v tom chto obschayutsya tol`ko so svoimi zemlyakami, ili skajem s drugimi vikhodtsami s Kavkaza. Nujno postaratsya naiti sebya v novoi obstanovke, ne poteryav sebya, svoei natsional`noi prinadlejnosti, no i ne tseplyatsya za proshloe. U menya v shkole bilo ochen` mnogo gruzivov, osobenno iz Kutaisi , i v pervoe vremya ya nachla bol`she obschatsya s nimi. Oni ne obschalis ni s kem krome svoikh zemlyakov i armyan. T.e. veli obosoblennii obraz jizni. Ya druzei sredi svoikh odnoklassnikov, ne teryaya svyazi i s "Kavkazskoi diasporoi".U nas v shkole ne smotrya ni na chto nikogda ne bilo deleniya po natsional`nomu priznaku. I so vremenem vokrug menya sobralis lyudi samikh raznikh natsional`nostei. V Institute toje samoe. Ya ne stala ogranichivat` svoye obschenie lish armyanami, a prosto nashla lyudei s kem mne priyatno obschatsya i s kot. u menya sovpadayut tsennosti i vzglyadi.Kakoi ya sovet mogu dat`...derjites svoikh traditsii i nakhodite sebya novom obschestve.

klara Posted March 6, 2002 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2002 I live in Canada since the age of 12. What I find great here is that it is a very multicultural country. At least in big cities, like Toronto or Montreal and so on. And people are kind to each other. Here your neighbours are Greeks, Africans, Spanish, French, etc, etc… And you walk on the street and hear languages and see people from all around the world. Of course culturally the Armenian community is somewhat different from the Armenians who live in Russia or Armenia. Many Armenians here are not only from Armenia but from Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, etc, etc, etc, They have a different culture, more oriental. Many times if not very often they dance under Arabic music, speak Arabic among themselves and have different mentality. I am not saying it is bad, but it is not the culture I knew in Armenia.And hearing Arabic or dancing under that music does not stir my heart, it does nothing to me. To me it is foreign. And the things that are most familiar to me, that I miss the most are things that were of course Armenian but a bit of Russian like the songs, the films, etc… I miss hearing the Armenian language that Eastern Armenian that we speak. And that Armenian culture from Armenia here is not very apparent, it is more that Western Armenian mentality that people live with. And then people change, the ones who came from Armenia change and they lose that flame or what ever it was that was so typically theirs. Maybe in USA it is less like that because there are more Armenians there than in Canada I don’t know.Assimilation:A bit of assimilation is inevitable. You have to be a little mellow to fit in. But at the same time it is very important to not forget who you are, where you come from. Even if the country of your adoption is the greatest, and it’s people the most kind you always in some ways feel a stranger. And hearing a little sound of duduk is sometimes so pleasant so kind and uplifting and you know that it is yours. And talking people about who you are about your culture is important, they like hearing who you are where you are coming from and they acknowledge it.Of course, I should add that maybe if I lived in Armenia all my life, I would not know what is that feeling of yearning or missing your homeland. You sometimes feel that if you go somewhere you will only miss your family members but most often you miss the little things like when you would sit on a bench with all your neighbours and talk, or the smell of a fruits, or the noise of children screaming and playing outside, etc, etc, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The don't seem to be the same as the armenians from Caucasus. Can anyone explain (not copy and paste huge texts) in few word the reason for such a diversity among Armenians from all around the world.Regards.PS: Why turkish peopla who live in US, Lebanon or Germany play and dance national music? Why do the tukr in US and Europe and Asia play their music? But Armenians in Turkey got their different type of armenian songs, in Lebanon other type and in Caucasus another?

klara Posted March 19, 2002 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2002 Mercuri, in what way an Armenian will always stay an Armenian ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Forum Posted March 20, 2002 Report Share Posted March 20, 2002 A lot of facts have contributed to this fact Kana. Especially the closeness of the communist regime during the Soviet Empire. The developments of the diaspora-Armenia literature was different. However you should not worry about it that much because with the collapse of the Soviet Empire the interaction between diaspora and Armenia is on a much different level, with our singers, dancers, painters, musicians etc. travelling to Spiurk(diaspora) communities quite often. . We now also have satellite televisions broadcasting across the globe so that all the Armenians who had little chance to get aquainted with Armenian traditions can do so now.

kanan-fsa7 Posted March 20, 2002 Report Share Posted March 20, 2002 Mercury,You said that those Armenians, who live abroad, have to balance their traditions with the nation that they reside with. That makes sense, can't ignore that thought, however... What about those Armenians who I personally know, or have sometime met which consider the traditions of the local area their own. Like Klara pointed out that those Armenians who come from Lebanon or Turkey think of Arabian and Turkish tradition as their own. When I say tradition I mean national music, art, holidays, food.By the way "the food"... Once I was chatting with an armenian in Philadelphia. After huge amount of time that we spent debating about the common "don't touch or I'll get mad" point - Karabakh, I asked him to take me to some Armenian food place in Philadelphia. We settled time and went to place called "Armenian Delight" in Media, PA. I was very excited to discover Armenian food for myself, but I ended up eating "de-formatted" Arabian platter. He ordered some rise and meet which I also can get at my university campus place called "Ali's Middle Eastern". Now when you ask an Armenian in Turkey about their food, I am absolutely sure he will bring up some "De-formatted" Turkish food.As you come closer to Caucasus Armenians there national food which appears to be tolma, bozbash, kufte and etc. All which somehow can be found in Baku restaurants. I am not gonna make conclusion I hope my point is clear. But I want you to answer to my question, if you don't mind. These can be two explanations, either Armenian taught Turkey, Lebanon and Azerbaijan how to cook, that's why the food is so similar, OR Armenians just adopted the food of these nations and claim those their own. SO which answer you think is right???Regards. Ken. PS: Levon by the way by the dinner table admitted that Armenian food is similar to Lebanese. :0 :0 :0 what a surprise????

Меркурий Posted March 20, 2002 Report Share Posted March 20, 2002 Кен джан.Турки это отдельный вопрос.Про арабскую кухню-Как известно мы долгое время жили под владычеством арабов. И теперь много армян живут в арабских госс.-ах. По этому нет нечего удевительного, чтоесть очень много общих блюд(арабских на армянский лад, армянских на арабский лад).По праздников-По моему ты лукавиш сказав, что армяне присвоили праздники арабов и говорят, что это армянские праздники. Может быть они празднуют их. Это вплоне нормально!Кстати Седа нечего этого не говорила! Потом! Да турки Какие блюда у турок, музика, танцы? Они все взяли или у армян, или у греков, или у арабов, персов, ассирыйцев и тд. Так что что такое туркская культура это большой вопрос.В Азтопе открыл даже такую тему.Некто не смог ответить на вопрос.- Что дали турки миру! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
