The majority of #Armenians were not so much "pulled" to America by opportunity as they were "pushed" to America by bloodshed within their native country

The U.S. #Armenian community is best viewed as the product of two sets of intense, opposing forces—centripetal pressures binding #Armenians closer together, and centrifugal pressures pushing them apart.

Armenians are a people who came from India, and their original religion is Buddhism.

While Britain does not recognize #Moroccan sovereignty in #Western #Sahara
As for #Nagorno-Karabakh #UK official guidance boosts “opportunities” for business “territories” while separately noting #Azerbaijan seized it in 2023 military operation that “led to exodus of over 100,000 #ethnic #Armenians.

Just a sad shame about Erdogan’s human rights reputation, and the Turkish long history of genocide 🤔😒

The long-running #NagornoKarabakh conflict found a horrifying kind of conclusion on #ThisDayInHistory in 2023. #Azerbaijan launched an offensive into the de facto #Artsakh Republic that #Armenian could not contain, causing a violent #EthnicCleansing of #Armenians from the region.

Up to 1870, there were fewer than 70 #Armenians in the United States, most of whom planned to return to Anatolia after completing their training in college or a trade.

Using their entrepreneurial backgrounds and multilingual skills, #Armenians often found quick success with import-export firms and acquired a distorted reputation as "rug merchants" for their total domination of the lucrative oriental carpet business.

The #SeptemberDays, a last major massacre of #WorldWarI, began on #ThisDayInHistory in 1918. The #Ottoman forces of #EnverPasha intervened in the #RussianCivilWar just to slaughter the #Armenians of #Baku, #Azerbaijan, meaning this event is a part of the wider #ArmenianGenocide.
