It’s Khash not hash
2000 years we liwe together ofcourse have war between azarbaijan turkey and armenia but not forget culture smilar ethnic same food same we are brother and sister all game usa and europa because if we be together they are afraid we are power together 🩵💙 ❤ 🇹🇷🇦🇲🇦🇿 life to much short thing for long history
What's a shame, you are such a layer! Khinkali and Khachapuri are Georgian foods, not Armenian
coooool
Fun Fact as an American 🇺🇸 – Armenian 🇦🇲 who loves History, “ Armenian and Ethiopian 🇪🇹 Alphabet looks the same because Mesrop Mashtots Alphabet came from traveling and making Alphabet for Not only Armenian but Georgia 🇬🇪and Caucasian Albanian People.
Armenia 🇦🇲 and Ethiopia 🇪🇹are Brothers and Sisters who love ❤️ one another and respect ✊ one another.
As every native should towards each other, food is the gateway to love ❤️ sometimes 😁🙏👍
Serbian here. My best man is Armenian. Armenians settled in Serbia for the first time in the 8th century and used to be church builders. They are very noble people, educated, nice manners, family orientated, loyal to friends and family. I cannot understand why Turks decided to eliminate them?! Armenians almost forgot their own language and spoke only Turkish, totally integrated into Turkish society. Even now through Azerbaijan, as a proxy of the Turkish government, they want to eliminate what's left of the Armenian state and people. It's on going genocide. Serbs had a very similar destiny in the 20th century. Over 2 million casualties in genocide and wars so we understand our Armenian brothers the most.
Nothing wrong with leveling up. Make sure you comments are factual instead of clicks. More to life

Most videos on Armenian topics:
Azerbaijan promoters who just don’t wanna let the comments be at peace:
1100ad and 1500/1600ad were when Armenian diaspora was born. not 20th century.
Great video and everything, but this comment from her im 15:59 is one of the stupidest things an armenian can say… as if it is a competition
Armenians are today 13 Million – 10 Mio Diaspora 3 Mio in Armenia.
(earlier). There used to be 15 -16 million Armenians who mixed over the ages in Roman Empire Italia ,France Germany ,Greek Ottoman Empire Türkey ,Libanon ect.
This channel says i meed to learn languages
Great episode!!!
The African American is also survivors , we walked and purchased our freedom right on this land.
Much love to Armenia 🇦🇲

I was born September 7th 1987
❤❤❤ I'm in Houston Tx where are these restaurants you need to do a special on them
I watched the entire show and enjoyed it all, thank you.
But Marcus, before (East) Hollywood and Glendale growth began in the early 1970's, there from the 1870's in Fresno and from the 1920's was Montebello, Pico Riviera and Whittier, they were the true little Armenias on the West coast in those days.
That sweet lady saying, "I don't speak English", but saying it all in perfect English.
Genocide: How do you know? Did you do a deep research? Deportation was there yes, but genocide, hmmm
My mom was Persian and from small town in the northwest corner of Iran pretty close to Armenia. Growing up in central Florida, there wasn't a lot of options for her to get the food she craved and was so good at making. No feta cheese, no real tea, no real bread. None of the herbs and spices she needed. The closest thing was an Armenian market on the other side of town (30 miles away). It was way out of the way, but Pop would tell me that he had orders from Mom to get her some stuff from that market. So many wonderful smells and flavors. I can close my eyes now, imagine that place and the memories, aromas and flavors all come rushing back.
❤️💙🧡🙏😇
24-minute mark: "What is funny is how SIMILAR we are…" the world would be a better place if we could all remember that.
My experience as an L.A. native with Armenians has been aggressive, arrogant, violent and male-centered.
Ancient and delicious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I see many similarities between Armenians and Christian Middle Easterns who are not Armenian : Maronites ,etc .
Entrepreneurial and extremely resilient one can say of Armenians,but also of Jews, Christian Arabs ,Cubans , and anyone that had to make it .
It is like Jews:Jews are from all over the world
Many Armenians in teh USA lived in Southern California,but because California has become ,so expensive ;they have moved to Texas:Houston ,Dallas,Austin and San Antonio ; Charlotte and Florida:Miami,Fort Lauderdale, Orlando,Tampa ,Jacksonville .
Many Armenians in the USA, Canada,Argentina,Uruguay, Chile, Mexico ,Costa Rica and Australia .
Armenian's can turn stone in to a Bread !
Very unique to Khazarian food
PBS and Mr Marcus S is a wonderful person that cares about the poor and the rich people are witnesses are the same we are now in over 239 countries so any countries you go to you will be loved by our people may my Great God Jehovah bless all of the staff of all of these restaurants I hope you come to my God Jehovah Mrs Loretta
