Während meines letzten Besuchs in Istanbul machte ich einige Fotos von armenischen Kulturerbe -Sites und dachte, Sie könnten sie interessant finden: 1. Surp Astvadzadzin Kirche 2. Ozel Bezciyan University 3. (+4) Armenische Patriarchate der Türkei (plus ein paar weitere Schüsse) 5.
Leider konnte ich aufgrund ihrer begrenzten Besuchszeiten die armenische katholische Archeparchie oder Surp Grigor Lusavorich -Kirche nicht besuchen.
Angenehm war ich angenehm überrascht, wie oft ich Charles Aznavour in Restaurants und Systemen in Pubs spielen hörte!
Eine besondere Erwähnung geht an einen zufälligen türkischen Kerl, der, als ich Armenisch war, Aram Asatryans Surber Sargis spielte – das war ein bisschen peinlich, aber er erwähnte, dass es sein Lieblings -armenisches Lied ist

Such a shame, all the minorities driven out of their ancestral homelands. I would’ve loved to grow up in an İzmir where the Greek population still existed. To see Armenians and Greeks calling İstanbul their home just like Turks do.
I don’t think coexistence is possible in our part of the world, at least not until certain wounds are healed.
While we didn’t do anything approaching the scale of the Armenian Genocide, some of the mutual atrocities during the first republics of Armenia and Azerbaijan are pretty horrifying to read about. In a sort of messed up way, perhaps we needed to homogenize our country, even through violent means, in order to remove any potential internal threats in the future.
I don’t want any Azerbaijani people living in Armenia either now or in the future because there is always the potential for some shit to pop off.
I think the difference in the Turkish case is that the Turkish and overall Muslim population is larger by such a huge margin that if there were like 1 million Armenians, while an outside power could stir up some chaos in the country by promoting Armenian separatism, any sort of movement like that would be crushed pretty quickly. On the other hand, even having a couple thousand Azerbaijani people in Armenia would be an existential threat.
What’s my point here?
Segregation is for the best. I’m not going to blame the Turkish state for wanting to be homogenous because I want Armenia to be homogenous, or at least without Turks.
The one exception I would make are Iranian Azeris.
I’ve found a fair amount of Armenian writings on entrances to buildings in Galata just walking around. Always a pleasant site
