On the other hand, if the genocide is acknowledged, it is then quite sensible to believe in and hope for the restoration of certain monasteries and churches, and the gradual opening of their doors to Armenian worshippers from Eastern Armenia, Istanbul and the Diaspora.
We are much, much older than that, non-myth-wise. [19] Where the intolerable thought of inter-marriage with those invading male hordes would deprive them, strip them of their Christian daughters. Our food evolves and what evolves (including food) doesn’t become less valid as “western Armenian” or inauthentic. Eastern and Western are just two codifications, the total dialect variation within Armenian is similar to that within English and arguably much less than that within German. There have been eastern and western Armenia for millennia. Finally, on my last visit, not only had the cement been removed and the church floor swept properly, but the Kars municipality had published postcards of the Cathedral with the heading 'The Museum of Kars.’ From public toilet to museum: some may call that progress, perhaps, but a church it will never be.[12]. The answer is easy… we should be using labels such as ‘Western Armenian’ and ‘Eastern Armenian’ for the difference in the Armenian dialect spoken not for which side of the borders we came from.
Be that as it may, I shall now expose several reasons why many ecclesiastical edifices remain erect, and why partial or full restoration and/or the official upkeep of them has been effected. Thanks for contributing an answer to Linguistics Stack Exchange! Hello highlight.js! I would hardly call myself more informed after reading this. Perhaps at that time a true 'human narrative' will be written by which the Armenian is recognized as an actor of that narrative, and by that recognition, uncover or dig up his or her narrative identity within that 'lost homeland' with and among those who are presently living there: Kurds and Turks. He suggests refining the ways in which we discuss and represent “Western Armenia” in the 21st century. Western Armenia simply is a way to convey the message that our western lands are currently occupied by Turkey which committed Genocide in order to occupy those lands. I really enjoyed it.
As a whole, modern Armenian is referred to as Ashkharhabar (Ashkharhapar in Western pronunciation, meaning “through/of the world”, that is, “worldly”, “laic”, “not of the Church”). The second question was whether or not I had come to Eastern Turkey to photograph and do research on ruined Armenian churches for political reasons! But in reality, most of the Armenian speakers face difficulties in understanding the other dialect due to a large number of differences in sounds, not to mention that grammars and vocabularies differ as well. Nowhere really, just a bit more informed about how we should approach our pre/post-Genocide geographies and each to its own uniqueness and history.
These discourses ring in my ears as I hike or hitch-hike along that barbed wire frontier. It’s the big elephant in the room that Armenians do not talk about. rev 2020.9.25.37676, The best answers are voted up and rise to the top, Linguistics Stack Exchange works best with JavaScript enabled, Start here for a quick overview of the site, Detailed answers to any questions you might have, Discuss the workings and policies of this site, Learn more about Stack Overflow the company, Learn more about hiring developers or posting ads with us.
