I have only known a few Armenian people in my 44 years, but they all had one thing in common: A very keen sense of "fairness" and "justice" and "worthyness"... a general attitude of "there is a place and a purpose for everyone, no one is inherently better than anyone else"... (Clearly we weren't "created equal", or else we'd all be exactly the same, but, the big guy needs the little guy's help just as much as the little guy needs the big guy's help, so everything evens out.)

That's right, placing a high value on community is very much part of the Armenian ethos. Out of curiosity, do you know where they were from?

I have to start by saying that I really like your videos. You create beautiful clips that are very well thought out, nicely planned and organized, and have great execution on production and editing, love the work that you do. You're usually always accurate but I do have to note that the statement you made of Jerusalem's Armenian population of the 4th and 5th centuries is not really the"world's oldest Armenian diaspora," as they'd already conquered and migrated to, settled in what is today Cilicia/Antioch, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, etc. hundreds of years earlier. And before the times of their Tigrane empire or their involvement in the Georgian Tamar empire, they had already migrated to areas as part of the Persian then Macedonian empires and Armenians existed all over Thrace, Greece and the Balkans. Maybe the community in Jerusalem may best be described as the oldest, continuously settled Armenian diaspora community with direct roots dating back to antiquity.
@AkravHistory 3 күн бұрын
Thank you for your kind words and feedback. That's right, Armenians have a long presence in places like Cilicia, Antioch, and across the Levant. Perhaps I could have chosen my words more carefully, but "oldest Armenian diaspora" in the video aimed to emphasize the long-standing, continuous presence of Armenians in Jerusalem from early Christian times, which indeed, as you suggest, might be more accurately described as one of the oldest continuously settled Armenian communities with roots traceable to antiquity. Thanks again for your contribution!

Excellent video man. I really appreciate the time you put into the graphics and the very unique moment of Armenian history you chose. I've read some disheartening articles regarding the Armenian quarter recently and hope someone takes responsibility of disseminating copies of the historical texts you mentioned. Its seldom we have source documents of our own historical record that isn't Roman because of the constant causes for diaspora and various erasures of history. I would much prefer to have proof of our interactions with world from sources besides our conquerors, as some are not so graceful as to record the plight of our existence, but would rather forget the sins of their past.

The thumbnail brought me here I'm here to positively say that most Israelis want the state to recognize the Armenian Genocide. Many are willing to cut ties with Turkey for that to happen. Also I hope that the azeri arms deal will stop as it only puts interest in promoting a deadly conflict. (Israeli, proud jew, one of the biggest fans of the Armenian Civilization)

Yo by the way can you make a vid on Sumgait pogrom. Azeris said that the pogrom was created by Eduard Grigoryan a Russian Armenian. They even showed an interview of him saying that he did do it and they also showed sources that we Armenians did the Sumgait pogrom. Can you debunk them or nah. Cuz i saw it on twitter
@AkravHistory 3 ай бұрын
I'll look into it, thanks!
@AkravHistory 3 ай бұрын
I want to give you a quick answer, in case I don't end up making a video about it. The claims regarding Eduard Grigoryan's involvement, which is the official Azerbaijani claim, are deeply contested, not just by official Armenian sources, but also independent third parties, both Armenian and non-Armenian. The Zoryan institute has compiled over 150 testimonies from victims and eyewitnesses from the Sumgait Pogroms (armenianweekly.com/2020/01/18/reflections-on-the-baku-and-sumgait-pogroms-30-years-later/). The US House of Representatives condemned the massacres of Armenians in Sumgait, Baku, and Kirovabad, urging the Azerbaijani government to end its aggression against Armenians and to recognize the past atrocities. Here's some more just to start: armenianweekly.com/2020/02/29/congressional-remembrance-of-the-30th-anniversary-of-baku-anti-armenian-pogroms-continues/ sherman.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/statement-commemorating-the-1988-sumgait-pogroms-against-the-armenian
