“Dle Yaman” (Le Le Yaman) performed by Isabel Bayrakdarian, a Lebanon-born Armenian Canadian soprano, and The Minassian Duduk Quartet.
“Dle Yaman” was one the thousands of ancient Armenian folksongs collected and preserved by Komitas Vardapet (1869-1935), a composer, musicologist and the founder of modern Armenian classic music. Komitas’s life was spared through the intervention of a group of influential friends during the Armenian Genocide in 1915, but he lived to see everyone he loved to die in the Genocide. Komitas had never recovered from the emotional shock. He died in a psychiatric mental institute in Paris.

What have fellow Armenians did to Turks while killing thousands of them is also an unforgettable part of ww1 in Anatolia . İt ended up in the relocation of Armenian citizens of ottoman Empire which was far more humane than any act being done even nowadays. The guilt is on the russians and the British as well written in their ön records and documents
My love to Armenian brothers from Greece!!!

All the love to Armenia from Lebanon. We are so happy to have had Armenians take refuge in Lebanon after the Armenian Genocide.
❤️🩹🙏🏻🙏🏻
Yes. It’s like asking and getting the British government to apologise for the Balfour Agreement to create a nation of Israel. It was a behind the scenes of an establishment of Israel. And what did Israel do.? The bombing of the King David Hotel before the end of WW2. Some regimes thrive on chaos because it keeps everybody at odds.
What would peace mean to Israel and Palestine? Could there be an eventual benefit of previous harmony and working something called together? You break the same bread everyday for breakfast.
Big love to Armenia from Serbia! ❤💙🤍 ❤💙💛
What a beautiful song, what a great singer, what great performance! Thank you and bravo!

History works with documents. Any narrative that claims to be historical truth but isn't based on evidence is nothing more than subjective claims and fallacies. There isn’t a single person in either Turkey or Armenia who denies the 1915 Events, nor does anyone claim that no one lost their life at that time and in that land. Hundreds of thousands of civilians lost their lives in that region. Hundreds of thousands of Turkish women, children, young people and elderly people were brutally massacred by Armenians. Hundreds of Armenians also lost their lives during the migration due to various diseases and some civilian attacks.
With human compassion, let us come together and honor the souls of our dead. But this is not a genocide! And those who want to turn this into another Holocaust are either out of their minds or slaves to their political ideologies. Comparing a policy of deporting rebellious Armenians collaborating with the enemy in the eastern region (and let me remind you, Ottoman Empire was in a very difficult situation during World War I) to the systematic extermination of six million Jews by a monster is certainly not an argument that intelligent people would accept.
Since the Armenian diaspora stayed on the comfortable side of this, they can convince the world of their baseless claims with their media power and Western political sycophants. You can even see Kim Kardashian mourning on April 24th in black (and very high-quality) despite her decadent lifestyle. But have you ever wondered why the poverty of Armenians living in Armenia today doesn’t concern the diaspora at all? It's because supporting their kin won’t benefit their Western lobbies in any way.
In any case, Turkey has offered to open its archives dozens of times, but the Armenians have refused. British, French, and American documents also support the Turkish account.
Thanks to Isabel Bayrakdarian as well, a magnificent work. I was very surprised when I learned about his contribution to The Lord of the Rings films.
