The Armenians - People of Armenia, Caucasus

[Nairi]

Ok , whatever your saying is really confusing me... so how can i get you people to be accepting of me?

but why are you so obsessed with me?

Your non Armenian part (assuming you do have Armenians one) is no problem for any of us, as you can see Cilicia is one of us and she is half Armenian, you non Armenian look also doesn't matter,the only thing which matters how Armenian you feel, how much you offer to Armenianess, so far I have only seen negative behaviour from you, how on earth someone claiming to be half Armenian can identify herself as Paki???

Now compare with the old pics of Yezidi Kurds from Armenia, the same clothes, the same style, the same colours, the same headscarves, which are typical Yezidi/Kurdish clothes,every single Armenian knows it and none,especially from Diaspora where they never even saw such clothes would claim they are Armenians. In 1981 ( when the picture above was taken there was 100.000 Yezidis living in Armenia). They are a good nation and we love them, we have Yezidi fedayins (freedom fighters) in Artsakh was.
Later on in Armenia men stopped wearing their national clothes outside while older women still keep them.

My father first came to Yerevan for the Communist Party. Our shaikhs were against the kolkhoz--collective farms. People had always depended on them for everything and they didn't want their role to be replaced. My father thought that the kolkhoz was a good idea. He opened schools, wrote books for children, began a college, and then started the newspaper Riya Taze. My father wanted his people to become educated and make progress.

Interview with Zina Shamilova, daughter of Kurdish novelist Arabe Shamo,
living in Yerevan, Armenia, July 1996


The main policy was the Russification of all other peoples. They often clearly told us that Riya Taze was not a Kurdish newspaper but a paper of the Soviet Union in the Kurdish language. We were not allowed to mention the word "Kurdistan."



The radio was an instrument for the foreign policy of the Soviet Union, but it was very important. It permitted us to preserve our Kurdish songs.

Interview with Temure Xelil, Yezidi journalist for Riya Taze, a Kurdish journal, December 1992



One day [in Turkey] someone called, "Come, come, come!" When we got there, he was listening to the radio very carefully. It was the Kurdish language on the radio! It was Radio Yerevan.

(pay attention at Mount Ararat behind, for many people this picture would be symbolic Armenian photo but they are Yezidis, Nairi's note)


And then people started to listen. Because of the Turkish state's propaganda, many didn't believe that it was possible to write and read in Kurdish and to use it on the radio.

Interview with Munzur Cem, Kurdish writer living in Sweden, September 1993

Compare the old woman's headscarfe with the Swan's pic's old woman on the far right, you will see exactly the same type of double headscarves typical for Muslims, no old Armenian woman ever wears that type of headscarves. So I take Swan's posted family is mixed Yezidi Kurdish...

The main point for me is that Diaspora has never had and has never seen Armenians dressed in such clothes, so there is no way any Armenian would post such a picture as fair representation of their nation...

P.S.

Another proof is their names on family tree behind, like in other countries minorities of Armenia take on Armenian namaes but Armenians don't name their kids with clear cut Yezidi names like Melo and Tono...
