I AM IN HONG KNG I LIKE TO BE TOUCHED WITH THAT 16 ARMENINANS WHICH IS MENTIONED ON THE LIST
ATIK
Simply couldn't understand the 2 million???
In Turkey, there may be more than the number mentioned above armenians according ROOTS. Many of turks grandparents are armenians, marired to turks by force and/or by changing religeon.Wish the Armenian genocide never happened .We as armenians love the land Turkey.
Beleive, it has never happened. Because in that time, there was only 1,2 millions Armenian in Ottoman Empire. But Armenian governent claims that 1,5 millions people died there. Yes, there were some deads but from both nations (Turk and Armenian).
As to ONE IMPORTANT NEW ARMENIAN COMMUNITY THAT THEY HAVE COMPLETELY OVERLOOKED..
That of Spain...CLOSE TO 60,000,whoa re dispdersed over in Barcelona,Valen cia,Alicangte, Madrid, bilbao and a host of other small cities.
Also there are Armenians in FINland
Yervant and his brother Kerope Der Nigoghossian fled to Africa during the outbreak of World War I and the Armenian Genocide. After settling in Ethiopia, the two brothers both married Ethiopian women and started families. Kerope and his wife had seven children, while Yervant and his wife had two boys. Traditionally in Ethopia, a father's first name is given as the surname for their children. That being the case, Yervant's two children were known as Arsen and George Yervant rather then Der Nigoghossian.
Times were good for the two brothers and their families for a short time, but another World War began. Italy occuoied Ethiopia and banished all foreigners, and Mr Yervant Der Nigoghossian had 24 hours to leave the country. Without anything, He fled to Lebanon . Arsen was very young when this took place, and afterwards had no contact with his father. Arsen stayed in Ethiopia and overtime lost the Armenian pronunciation of his name, becoming known as Artin Ervant.
Artin heard a rumor that his father was able to start a family in Lebanon. He is now approaching his 90th birthday, and his curiosity remains. Just to be clear, neither I nor my father are looking for an inheritance of any kind. He just wishes to learn of his father's story after leaving Ethiopia. If this letter reaches any descendents of Yervant or Kerope Der Nigoghossian, please contact us. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Simon Artin Der Nigoghossian
I read your message and I would like to tell you that it will be important for you to write to the Armenian Prelacy in Lebanon. They may help you find your relatives. You can also write to the daily newspaper AZTAG. you can find the website easily or I can help you with that.
I had the occasion to comme to Addis Abeba twice and visit the Armenian club where I met Siranoush and Simon.
Please keep in touch
Many thanks

This is how we get 10 million armenians worldwide figure. In fact the only "engine" behind armenian population's growth was/is Armenian SSR/Republicof Armenia. When it reached the pick of its population in the mid-80s, the Armenians worldwide stood at about 7 millions.
Since that time our numbers only diminished - in Republic of Armenia (due to labour migration to the rest of the world) and in Diaspora (due to disastrous assimilation processes).
I would be happy, if these days we count somtheing like 6 millions, of which only 3-4 millions are capable of speaking Armenian language. But I got a feeling that the reality is much darker.
Firstly ,there are over a hundred thousand French Armenians as an example,that do not speak Armenian,but I SWEAR-VOW they are much more patriotic than Armenian speaking ones.so much for neutralizing Bolsahay(actual ly some that are perfect Armenian speaking Turkish agents,for that is their struggle to downplay Armenity-some wrongly say Armenianism,,,w e are not ism peoply,like community ,say Armenity.
Furthermore, the peak of the Armenian population growth was not ONLY in soviet Armenia, but also in all Middle Eastern Armenian communities ,S.America ,North America and parts of southern Russia(these also not all speak Armenian, but feel and state they are stout Armenians.You don´t have to trumpet I am Armenian!!! in order to prove you are so.My French armenian friends,some thirty yrs ago BTW, did hardly speak a few words of Armenian,but they have strived to learn the language and are now speaking acceptably well Armenian.
Even more to the person who wrote above. The Majority of jews do not speak the hebrew but ask me how stout they are and defend their newly born country/state.....
So we must also NOT COUNT the Hemshentsi Armenians the ZAZA, who by and by are returning to christianity and chaning their forced changed names from Ahmet, mehmet to Vartan Vahan...
Be carefull please when you state indirectly that those armenians who do not speak language ARE not to be counted?????
totally wrong assumption!!!
I am not Bolsahay. I'm Russian Armenian. And I do not challenge "armeniannness" of those Armenians, who do not speak Armenian language.
All I was trying to say is this. We are not 10 million nation. We are 6-7 million at best. And this statistics above is hardly true. Because many Armenians are counted twise. There are no more 100.000 Armenians is Iran and definitely no 234.000 in Lebanon. These numbers should have been 2-3 times smaller.
We take 1970s statistical data from Middle East and 2000s data from Europe and US. And this is what makes our numbers bigger.
If you like to continue fulling yourselves - it's all right, go on. I dont' want to interfere anymore.
Probably another try by Bolsahye(could be perfect Armenian-English speaking one of those I hinted at above)Oh I forgot to add that Nor haratch Armenian newspaper of Paris a year or so ago had published that are some 120 turkish officers learning Armenian at the highest military academy of Ankara,I wrote back and quote¨¨what? to be sent to the moon??,no not so you guess where they will be sent to ,shall i say:Quite openly to all armenian community countries to direct Anti armenian propaganda ,always downplaying anything that is Armenian and shows that Armenia and Armenians are so small insginificant and not worth to fight for!!!
tHIS IS their strategy..plese iunderstand.
Oh Yeah above One bloke wrote ¨I love the land of Turkey¨¨the poor soul does not know THATPART OF THAT LAND ,i.e, what they call Anadolu(actuall y Western Armenia) is Armenian land and to the West, Nort West was partiallhy Pont-Greek, the Roman Byzanian lands before t he Turco tatarr seljuk Mongols around 1400 came form the UYGHURLAND(Now located in Western China) and conquered and stayed where they are now.Prior to which their hoards had gone as far as Vienna and the Balkans.Howeever got kicked out!!!! around 1840´s-
Kaytzak-aper, menk erzaneri mech enk aprum. Sa e mer problemnerits meky. Yes chgitem, es erazy (10 million qanakutjamb hay azg) mez inchi e petk? Da mez inch e talis? Uremn, imanalov vor 10 million enq - karoghenq hangist mnal, urax, erjanik...

Ajspisi sut thivery mez talis en sut zgacmunq, vori hetevanqov tsankatsats andz heshtutjamb amusnanum e otari het, chi ashxatum lezun sovorel, hay mnal, ev ajln, ev ajln.... "Inchu ashxatel vor hay mnal, ethe menk mi mardashat azg enk?" - keharcni sovorakan haye 10 million thive imanaluc heto.
And to the contrary, if we realize deep down our heads that we are actually not so big in numbers - we would do our best to remain Armenian, to fight the assimilation process, etc.
To finish, I believe this statistics "sings a lullabay" to us, puts a pillow under our heads, makes us "sleep". I don't trust it.
Thanks for introducing us to your website.it is good and Congrat.Please let me have your e-mail address so as I can submit my article(s) to you for publication.Very important that you do so,as it seems -unfortunately-our political party dominated owned prdess will not publish any other than what their Dogmas dictate.I do hope you will oblige if you think of Armenia and Armenity as a F I R S T!!!!
my e-mail is gayzagpal@gmail .com
Thanks and best Rgds,
G.P.
Thank you very much for your message. I would like to inform you that our website was devised as an open forum aimed at promoting sincere civic dialogue. It is meant to be independent and free of political affiliation and/or dominance. As the site is still in the process of construction, the article submission module which allows self-posting of articles will become functional within the next one-two weeks. In the meantime, you can e-mail me the text which will be posted from this end.
It seems that my posts-NO DIRECTED TO ANYONE IN PARTICULAR- have prompted you to address to me your viewpoints. I have this answer.-What does it matter,if we are not 10,or 9,or 7. Turkey keeps boasting they are 60/70 million,whereas all know that some 17/18 million aare KURDS and probably some 3/5 million non turkic.so what?
We may be less than ten million..and mind you I did NOT write those statistics ,you refer to, but we are a Nation State Now and progressive. it remians to have DIASPORA re-organized to be counted with.In this connection I am ,and have been striving hard to find the way todo so.Please go to ...www.armeniannews.info and read my articles,nay ¨suggestions¨ there.That will throw light on what I have been trying to convey to my dear compatriots, make an effort to group regroup and forge ahead.We cannot afford to remian non-committal.
We need a country of at least 5-6 million people, with military service obligatory to men and women (just like in case of Kurdish peshmarga or Israel). That will give us 150 thousand strong defense force (not the current military personnel of 60 thousand). This is the only way to oppose 80 million Turkey. I don't care about Azeris. They have significant outflow of population, making total population of that country to stand at about 4-5 million.
And, yes, double citizenship application procedure should be simplified, - not the 6 month bureaucratic hell, which it is righ now. We need to have 5-6 million IN the country and 1-2 million diaspora in key economies (US, France, Russia, Argentina, etc.) We need to evacuate Armenians from places like Ethiopia, India, Egypt, Central America, Russian Syberia (belive it or not, there are hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of Armenians in Russian Syberia heading towards assimilation) AND Middle East (in light of last developments), etc.
Overall, there could be around 1 million Armenians spread over distabilized/poor countries hardly making their living... So, what the reason of not having them in Armenia. But to achieve that Armenia has TO SOBER UP. Th wake up to devastating reality of our diminishing, dying out, assimilating nation...
Regards,
Karen.
In addition, if you want to calculate a real Turkish population in the world you should calculate Turks in Europe (only in Germany there 3 millions), Republic of Turkey, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tacikistan, Kazakistan. And the real number for instant is 300 millions!!!
If we really wish to re organize and repopulate Armenia/Artsakh-Javakhq,we should begin to form into work type Associations.Please go to read my articles in------
www.armeniannews.info
Thanks for reading me before hand
g.p
latter also is not totally so, There are Dagestani people lenkorani (pdersian) and many such others who do not wish to be Turanists...
Witness when the overtures by R.of Turkey there,they did not respond as latter thought they would.
Finally, why I used assimilation? For example Greece! Turkey had governed Greece for 500 years. We have similar habit; but all Greeks has had their religion and language. This is latitude of Turkey. Same for Bulgaria (600 years), Hungary (160 years), Armenia (200 years). If Turkey behaved like Russia or other colonial countries, today all northern africa, middle east, eastern europe and western russia would speak Turkish!
You are way away from understanding that Russians are Europeans ,have not any Eastern tendencies...
NorthAfrican Khaliphates also invaded spain and ruled there 600 yrs...But then spanish prionces allied , got well armed and thre them out.However these things happen in other ways -modes-too like India´s mahatma Gan!dhi asked the Britrs out !!!
Turkey rather Ottoman Empire also has exhausted its old force and pressent Trukey is about to be left alone by allies and then voila
TIME IS FOR TURKS TO UNDEERSTAND THEY ARE NO MORE KHALIPHATES.Miserably under educated as AS TO HUMAN RIGHTS AND STILL WITH HOPE LIKE YOU NURUTRE THAT THEY CAN RULE OF ERMENIS K U R D S G R E E K S ,, ETC., THEY MUST STAY PUT IN AN AREA THAT IS WESTERN TURKEY AND TRY TO CATCH UP WITH OLD HISTORY OF THEIRS AND THEN PRACTICE DEMOCRACY NOT TOTALITARIANISM !!!
Come down from those clouds Berkay,or you will be very disappointed.Sooner or later k u r d i s t a n will be declared as Independent!!! Western armenian repopulated by Armenians and attached to Armenia!!!
Turkey's place in near future will be top 10 of the world.
END!
I totally agree with you. Because of this reason, 600 years old empire fell down. Because of this reason Turkey has still tried to come bigger. If Ottomans had oriented with Renaissance and industrial revolutions, everything could be different.
I want to add one thing to your comment. Yes, Ottomans hadn't built schools or factories to conquered places but they hadn't also exploited like France, UK who had built schools there. Ottomans had behaved like their local cities to these countries. They hadn't any benefit on them. Thanks for your kind comment. To be kind is not easy, it is a virtue.
You and me also pay taxes to our governments. It is very normal. In addition, you really know very well Ottomans. Are you Turkish? ;) Happy new years to everyone.
In addition, this your first mistake about Ottomans. In the empire, no-muslims has the most right. Yes, it was teocratic monarch regime but nobody had voting right. foreigners had more commercial and educational royalty than Turks. Because of this reason after republic Ataturk paid attention to education and commercial rights.
And you are right. First of all 16 Turkish country in the history has been a military country. Secondly, Turkish army is the proctector of laique and democratic Turkish country. Because of this reason Erdogan wants hurt or destroy this decision of soldiers. But all the soldiers in prison are heros and patriots. But nobody is permanent so Erdogan also will be on trail one day. We are waiting for that day!
I am afraid you will wait for the day forever :))
