I imagine we are not the only ethnic group with this practice.
Typically I see the tattoo of a cross on the inner wrist of Armenians to commemorate pillgramage to Jerusalam.
I read somewhere there is an Armenian family that has been doing these tattoos for generations?
This is really cool! I posted some Armeno Turkish a while back.
These kinds of initiatives are great to see and I support.
Don't really have any words

>In fact, when we look at the story of coffee in Europe, we see that it was Armenian entrepreneurs who popularized this mysterious bean in the West. According to researcher Ross Jamieson, in Paris of the 1660s, “Armenian” was almost synonymous with “coffee seller.” The first café in Vienna, which laid the foundations of the city’s famous coffee culture and paved the way for establishments such as Daniel Moser that still exist today, was opened in 1685 by an Armenian merchant named Johannes Diodato (Hovhanness Astvatsatour)

How do you make your sourj?
Happy to see this
My family has arranged marriages and the other ones. The arranged ones ended up happier from what I know.
Curious what Armenians think about arranged marriage?
It used to be the mothers at church would talk and then a potential groom's mother and potential bride's mother would go to potential bride's home for coffee. If the potential bride put sugar in the coffee it meant she agreed with the match. Otherwise no match
Note this is not a marriage proposal
Edit: As pointed out. I should have said go through a matchmaker and or do the traditional families meet situation. Not arranged as in forced or anything like that. I can't edit the title though
Enjoy this bit of silk worm and Armenian history
Just putting this out there! I got this ad so now you have it too.
>In 1946, Congress created the Indian Claims Commission, a body designed to hear historic grievances and compensate tribes for lost territories. It commissioned extensive historical research and ended up awarding about $1.3 billion to 176 tribes and bands. The money was largely given to groups, which then distributed the money among their members. For some tribes whose members didn’t live on a reservation, note historians Michael Lieder and Jake Page, the money was distributed per capita. For those who did live on reservations, the money was often earmarked for tribal projects.
>However, the actual funds only averaged out to about $1,000 per person
The article goes into more detail. My goal is not to argue the USA has done enough to rectify it's wrongs. But it has done more than Turkey has, and it did so on its own with no third party country forcing it after losing a war.
The article covers where the USA has gone right and wrong
So the bar is low, but if you dig then you can go beneath it.
Worth mentioning USA do not teach any of these groups deserved it or that the Trail of Tears was "nuanced." I went to school before things were as "progressive" as they are today and was taught all these things were wrong and disgusting. We weren't taught enough but I feel safe criticizing that and my saying that is not controversial or isolating.
Edit to add: the article touches on other groups wronged by the USA and the status of those reparations or lack there of

I deleted my first post because it only had one picture load but there are many more I didn't save. Has anyone else noticed that there are a lot of birds that look worried?

We talk about the genocide as though it was the last event. It's important to know what came before and after as well as how these policies were carried out against other minorities.
