@hayem100

thank you for your concern

the facts that I have are from Israeli Armenian communities

where almost all the Armenians from Armenia are not wellcomed

or the values of these Armenians are measured according to their habbits, socio-economical conditions and even the church servers do the same discrimination and this is not the whole story..
