Since telling her we are "hye",my teacher thinks my family is into drugs. My last name is Kevakian. I live in La Crescenta, California. I wear black on April 24. My parents hate Turks, but I think I can forgive them for their shameful past. My future husband can most likely be found at our church. The new guy who works at the bakery is my dad's cousin's husband's uncle's wife's nephew. I could eat dolmeh everyday of my life. Yesterday I bought a $100 purse at Coach. I think the producers of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" met my family somewhere and thought we were from Greece. My parents were born in Tehran, and both moved before the Iran-Iraq War. Who needs Spanish?! Knowing Armenian, Farsi, and English will get me a decent job in LA! I like rap and hip-hop, yet I have every CD from System of a Down. Sure, East Hollywood is still full of hookers, drugs, and cheap bars, but hey, they managed to get that "Little Armenia" sign up; it's a start, right? I'm from Armenia, one of the best countries in the world.

A country whose main population was displaced by the 1915 Turkish genocide, still denied by Turkey 90 years on.
Ah, no matter, that didn't stop Armenians making the world rock. System of a Down, Zildjian cymbals and even the one and only MADDOX are Armenian!
You can tell an Armenian surname if it ends in either -ian or -yan.

"Oh...shit.....ok, name another! Yeah!"
"Zildjian."

A country nearly eradicated by genocide by the Turks. If anyone denies this happed, they've never read history or examined the cold hard facts. The other person who defined this term needs to enrol in a class on brains.

A country that was pretty much screwed over when the Turks invaded and killed everybody, but nobody seems to give a shit.
I am Armenian-Irish.

A nation in Middle East, with 3000 years of history. It is the first nation that adopted Christianity in year 301 (even before Roman Empire in year 380). Now there is a modern country called Armenia, which emerged from the Soviet Union, and we hope it will be as great (in sense of richness) as the Armenian Empire of Tigranes II The Great...The main problem of Armenia is the economy and that Turkey closed its borders with it because the Turks say "there was no Armenian Genocide". Funny coz the word GENOCIDE was CREATED by the Jewish historian Raphael Lemkin in 1943 to describe the atrocities that the Ottoman Empire commited against the Armenians from 1915-1918.
