[Sedamuradyan]

[kutkinderen]

Turks ruind whole armenian culture

[Arzive]

Never allow the Hemshin dialect of Armenian disappear! It is our link to our past!

[Melkonian92]

wow this is amazing!! i just knew about Hamshen Armenians and i'm really glad that i know about them now :) better than never! God Bless

[globalistbrat]

I wonder what the converted Armenians in the Ayntab region are doing musically? I think the Hamshentsi are just one example of the many Armenians that exist and live as turcophone Armenians. I bet there is a lot more of Armenianness left i the Turkish population than we are led to believe.

[globalistbrat]

The 5/8 dance at the end is incredibly beautiful. THIS IS FANTASTIC. Vashdonoglu, Send me an email. I want to get in touch with you.

[artsvideoonline]

Your songs remind me my Armenian pagan roots. Your beautiful old Armenian dialect took my spirit to your/our mountains...

The TIME will come, it is so close. We will unite my dear sisters and brothers. A few decades and Armenia will become a Great again. The Time will come and it is so close...

Thanks for a great video. Videos like this is a first step on educating those Armenians that don't know about Hamshens and there are a couple of them now on youtube.

[MRV1939]

you guys are of noble birth plaese return to your Armenian roots.

you are the children of Japheth son of NOAH.we Armenians love you.and waiting.greetings from CANADA

[Gregory10000000000]

A very informative video. It did deepen my knowledge of the Hamshen Armenians.

[Gregory10000000000]

Thank you for sharing this interesting video with me Hairenakitz.

[Haytime4justice]

I agree totally with Haydagha, Armenians after the Genocide were treated very well in Syria, Iraq, lebanon, Egypt & Iran.

We do not hate Muslims, we hate what was done to our people by the Turks and we hate the injustices that continues to even today by the successive Turkish governments that deny and falsify the Armenian Genocide.

Hamshen Armenians are our brothers & sisters and 100% Armenian irrespective of religion, just like Israel we should include them as part of our greater nation.

[HaydukofKilikia]

I like you hamshenians -A FORGOTTEN PIECE OF ARMENIAN GRAND HISTORY.......................­....make me touched this video

[haydgha1]

We Armenians don't care if their are converted by force to be Islam ,for us hamshens are still Armenians,and i'm sure they gonna be re-christian again if they want.I heard lot of Turks changing their religions maybe all of thems are hamshenli Armenians returning back to their realy own religion......

[steverzyan]

Armenians do not hate muslims. It is Turks we dislike for the most part and because of what they have done to us. One blood one nation. Muslim or not Hamsheni are still our brothers and are always welcome.

[TeamSTALKERS]

yeah alot of armenians are Muslim look at Hemshin

[MuslimArmenian]

Right there in black in white the exalted Qu'ran forbids forced conversion. Piece of shit Ottomans. i hope they burn in hell for what they did. We need to find our Armenian brothers, Hamshen, assimilated, or otherwise, and give them the oppurtunity to return with their homeland. i know Armenian republic is searching for them but they need to re-double their efforts. we must stay united and keep the homeland strong and free.once we find them we can take another step foward from our dark past

[Jilveloy]

i didn't know if Armenians had Muslims. we have also such kind of georgians in Turkey and we call them Chveneburi, bu they speek quite good Georgian, the difference is only religion. Very nice nad sad video. Greetings from Georgia!

[Vashdonoglu]

ear friend

Thank you for your message. you are from the rare people who accept the origin of Hemshinlis to be Armenian.However, we tend to disagree with you. Only a small proportion of Hemshinlis is mixed with their neighbours, the majority has kept its origin and its roots. Most of the people are pure. Even those in Ankara Istanbul and Izmir are marrying Hemshinlis.

Unfortunately, our government is trying to change history and to tell us different stories but the truth is coming out soon.

[aerudi]

Very informative video.- We love You... Come to Armenia... Sooner the better.

[arinberd1]

Armenians more and more know about Hamshen and Hamsheciner. We used to think that there are no more Armenians in Turkey left, either they were killed, or migrated, or assimilated. I'm happy to see that there people keeping bloodline of ancestors. Who do not know his past, do not have future!

Thanks for video. We should know about each other more and more. I know only Hamsheciner from Russia and Abkhazia.

One blood, one nation!

[TeamSTALKERS]

i acept them into my family as armenians islam or not. they are still armenian.

[rezcrash88]

One great video , easily understood

[vahagnantonyan]

thank for the video, very nice one. does ur youtube name have anythign to do with and armenian family name?  Vashdyan?

[ArmeNyan]

Very good video! I knew that Armenians in Abhasia spoke very different language that we couldnt understand but didnt realize until very recently there are Hamshen Armenians. I didnt know we have relatives. It's interesting, I can understand some words in the song. Was it in Hamsheni language?

Խաչ հանեցին,

Աոանք կրկին մենք հարություն

Եվ ո՛չ իբրեվ մի նոր Հիսուս,

[Aegialeus]

Thank you for making this, I never knew of the "Hamshen" Armenian Christians before and a little of their history.

I hope the day comes when the descendants of those Ottoman Turks overcome their denial, and officialy recognize the Armenian Genocide and apologize to the descendants of the Armenian Genocide.

David Lloyd George former British Prime Minister said in 1914 that:

The Turks are a human cancer, a creeping agony in the flesh of the lands which they misgovern, rotting every fibre of life ... I am glad that the Turk is to be called to a final account for his long record of infamy against humanity.

i am very proud of you vashdonoglu. i hope you people dont forgot your idendity.

[Vashdonoglu]

You can speak anything. You are welcome.

[Vashdonoglu]

You can speak anything. You are welcome.

[globalistbrat]

THIS SONG IS UNDERSTANDABLE, COMPLETELY COMPRENSIBLE (Erzurum-like) WESTERN ARMENIAN DIALECT! Հայ էն, և հայերեն են խոսում: Their music is also Armenian, completely.

great video, thank u Vashdon

[steverzyan]

Wow!!! Thank you for posting!!

[Seiran27]

Thanks Vashdonoglu!

Very interesting.

For many of "youtubers"this may be interesting:

A few words about North hamshen (I'm from there :-)

unlike currently living in US).

Armenians in Abkhazia and from Sochi to Tuapse

have very strong links with Armenia.

[oulan909]

Thank you, great job.

[Vashdonoglu]

That's very true because they have been brought up like this. But it's our national duty to reveal the true history. They cannot avoid their past and history esp they cannot deny that what they speak is Armenian and nothing else!

They are no better then the Armenians in Turkey who send their children to non-armenians schools.

We do our duty and then it's up to them..

[handsomeboyad]

The best way for Armenians to reconnect with the Hemshen is if the border is to be reopened. This will also help the crypto Armenians and the Alevi Kurds reconnect to Armenia. Another reason that Turkey is scared to open the border, especially if the Armenian economy continues to grow.

[Vashdonoglu]

Very well said. Personnaly I agree with you very much

[GlendaleAstrid]

The sad reality is that many Armenians are not even aware of Hamshensies being Armenian. We need more videos like this to educate our young Armenians from all over the world.

We should be united with all our differences!

[Hayuhi90]

Good job! very interesting

[BeautySavesWorld]

very important video!

[BeautySavesWorld]

Great video!

[Meghrik]

Very nice video! We have to know who Hamshenies are. Thanks for such great video!

[BeautySavesWorld]

Vashdonoglu ,One of the best videos on YT...

I hoipe u give us advice how to help them...

[GlendaleAstrid]

They are ARMENIANS! Our flesh and blood....

Thank you for this video!

[AbuSindi]

Excellent! I will never forget the moment from the movie "Mommi", when the gradmother cries while hearing as her grandson counts in Armenian.

[DRAGOVODA]

Armenians=good people,respect for u're civilisation and culture,salutations from Romania,here are living a lot of armenians ;)

[aznivjun]

I have to say JOB WELL DONE!! we should make videos like this available to be taken to our armenian schools, so that our young ones can keep up the Armenian power and spirit going in the future. Can anyone tell me where I can get the music from to play on cd throughout the house i want my young ones to listen to it

Aznivjun (Ida)

[charajiji25]

very nicely done , we need video's like this to teach our kids about our heritage and history , Bravo and good luck ... my best to the family too

[antronig]

Thank you, I have Hemsin music I found and made them Youtube favorites. Their energetic dance is similar to an other one of my Youtube favorites video recorded in South America with South American Armenians. Just click on Antronig.

[hayyyyyyyy]

lav video e

merci

[eminmo]

Unbelievable and outstanding research presentation. Well done

[Avag979]

This is a great video. Thank you so much! God bless you and your family.

[borovoyd]

Very nicely done.

What do you intend to have done to remedy the situation? It seems like it may be beyond repair for some of the communities. Do the Hemshinlis want to be saved and moved to Armenia? What can we do to help?

[Vashdonoglu]

There is no intention to move anybody to Armenia. The main purpose is to raise awareness within the diaspora and within the Hemshinlis themselves. It is the minimum duty of 2 brothers

[Lusarar]

what is the name of the song in the video ? it's beautiful

[Vashdonoglu]

Clarification:

To avoid any misunderstanding, Kazim Koyuncu is not Hamshentsi but he has Hamshentsi songs and that's why he has been mentioned. Kazim was born in Hopa (Artvin-Turkey) which is 50% Hemshinli and 50% Laz. He is one of the famous black sea artists.

[hosank]

thanks, this video was nice, i have always had an interest in the armenians of hamshen, i often speak with them on forums, and so on.

[MARGAR5]

I want to see this video and the whole world that all Armenians were always together

Thank you, my hemsinli brother . Send greetings to my hemsinli brothers and sisters

[ArmenSur]

long have i been very interested with our hemsinli brothers and sisters, i wish that God will be with you who still remain in Turkey, and you will for always be in my prayes.

[Tekniek10]

Great work aper

[Rohanson]

Great work,Vashdonoglu!Extend my bestwishes to my Hamshentsi brothers and sisters!May the Firtina river flow skyblue from now on for all of us, till Hamshen comes home!

ps-What is the opening music? Is it hamshenagan? Who sings it? It sends shivers thru the listeners vein...And the second song?

Asdvadz ouj da, yeghpayr!

[pontios23]

Thanks vashdonoglu. It explains alot of things I wanted to know about the Hamshenli Armenians. I hope their language and culture survives for many centuries.

[Vashdonoglu]

Dear friend,

Our worry is that the language and culture will not survive for a long time. While Hopa people still speak the language, Bash Hemshintsi have completely forgotten it....

[Armob0y]

very good job

[hamshetsi]

Great video! Very nicely done and contains essential info about Hamshen's culture and history. Shad abris, axpar!
