Hemshentsi Համշենի Hemşinliler

The Armenians of the Black Sea region of Georgia and Turkey, largely Muslim but also including some Christians, number over 500,000. They are a little known community with a culture stretching back to antiquity. Although part of the larger Armenian (Hye) people, they are unique in that they speak a unique dialect of Armenian and follow Sunni Islam (many have been Muslim long before the arrival of the Turks in Anatolia in 1071).

kunnim kezi ev ku toorki azgin, tun hemshen ches, tun hayvan toork es

Listen idiot, nothing about you is Hemsinli, you are son turk whore that pretends you are hemsinli and then spreads lies.

I made a vow never to speak the dog turkish language, we are ot turks never have been never will be

people like you are so fucked in their heads thinking they are turks.

Hemshen = Armenian

Did you ever wonder why all laz always called us Ermeni?

Because WE are Ermeni and PROUD

armenia has no brothers it stands alone always did, no georgia no greece no russia for 3000 years now armenia stands alone, and it always will, we have GOD on our side

[OdysseusGarapet]

@The045Ara and that is why god stooped the genocide right? if Armenians rely on a god they will perish! Armenians need the to find power from within, instead of fighting each other over chickenshit things. And No Armenia has never been Truly Alone, learn some history, over the millenniums Armenia had various allies, vassals and neighbors who have been great friends. You think Armenia would survive till today if It was on its own with the shit head leaders it somehow always ends up with?
