Je Suis Armenien FB group - 12,950 fans as of October 1, 2018 - Dear All, the group has been created right before 24 April 2015 in order to unite Armenians and Non Armenians on all social media by sharing a common profile picture on 24 April 2015 which was the centenary of the Armenian Genocide. The purpose of our group is 1. to raise awareness on the Armenian Genocide and 2. to unite Armenians and non Armenians. This group is a meeting point for people from more than 30 countries and all languages are welcomed to participate. You can post and comment in any language you may deem appropriate (to reach more people we would suggest the use of English or French). Please note that our image and our message is not targeted to show Armenian pride but instead intends to gather a community of minds around a simple concept: recognition of the Armenian genocide of 1915 is a matter for us all, negationism and denial is a moral wound and the repetition of a crime. For this reason, our group is opened to all and we warmly welcome non Armenians in our fight for the recognition of a crime against humanity. I Am Armenian, independently of any religion, belief, nationality, group, political party, age, sex and or link to the Armenian community whatsoever. Our only rules are: 1. please respect the purpose of this group (and avoid self promotion or non related commercial activities) and 2. do not use offensive language, do not insult anyone for any reason whatsoever. Thank you for your support and understanding. Cher tous, notre image et notre message n'est pas d'affirmer la fierté d'être arménien mais vise à réunir une même communauté de pensée autour d'une idée simple : la reconnaissance du génocide arménien de 1915 nous concerne tous, le négationnisme est une plaie morale et la répétition juridique d'un crime, message que nous véhiculons par une image. C'est pour cette raison que ce groupe est spécifiquement ouvert aux non arméniens et ne met pas d'accent nationaliste sur la question de la reconnaissance d'un crime contre l'humanité. Je suis arménien, quelle que soit ma religion, ma croyance, ma nationalité, mon groupe, mon parti, mon age, mon sexe et mon lien avec la communauté. Merci pour votre soutien.

Armenian Diaspora Threatened by Ottoman-Era Mentality and "Millet" System Posted on March. 24. 2011 By Appo Jabarian, Executive Publisher/Managing Editor, USA Armenian Life MagazineThere are two elephants in the Armenian room – The first represents Ottomanized Armenians and the second is embodied by Sovietized Armenians. Jointly they flank the lion-hearted and eagle-spirited Armenians who continue to soar and succeed in the world arena, helping the elephants heal themselves. Two weeks ago, I wrote an article critical of the Soviet-era corruption and nepotism and the national threat that they represent to the twin Armenian republics. How about Diaspora Armenians? Is the Armenian Diaspora threatened from within? Absolutely! Despite its monumental accomplishments through its many invaluable institutions over the course of several decades, to a certain extent, the Armenian Diaspora is still run by Ottoman-era mentality. One may argue that the accomplishments of the Diaspora are impressive, therefore we shouldn’t ask for more. Under normal circumstances, that would have been a satisfactory conclusion. However, Armenians as a whole, have seemingly insurmountable challenges ahead. The conditions of life for them are extraordinary.... (Please click to read more)
