[arakhachatran]

And Nahabed says they were not heavy. Look at the leading dancer in this video. She isnt heavy? I do not blame your camera. For Gayane she is too fat.

[nahabed]

Dude(tte?) take it easy ;-)

Its not the dance of the young kurds its based on Armenian folkclore music and its called Sabre Dance is partly orginally from the area in which was western armenia inhabited by armenians...that is fabricized afterwards to match political needs. Today that area is mostly inhabited by kurds, they forgotten the history. after the genocide most armenians were forced to become either kurds or turks if they weren't killed maybe thats why the are confused.

[karineh1]

get your facts straight, there is no kurd in gayanes ballet please. Gayane, daughter of kolkhoz chairman Avanes, helps capture a stranger who penetrated the Soviet Army's territory intending to discover geological secrets. In doing this, the loving Gayane is aiding her friend, the youth Armen.

Thank you SikismekAtaturk. There is a thruth in your words. Though Kurds using religion have oppressed Armenians in history, but they did not have a plan to wipe out Armenians. This was young turks idea and planning. After Armenians, all the panturkic oppression fell on the Kurds and continues to this day. Now Turkish nationalists would probably wipe out Kurds too if it was possible.

[AIKevorkian]

Yes Khachaturian sirumnem! հրաշալի!

[SikismekAtaturk]

My friend I did not mean Aram Khachatryan, the great Armenian composer. And I think if Kurds were Christians like you we would have conquered these Mongolian herdsmen. I stand before you and condemn any atrocity perpetrated by Kurds against Armenians and Assyrians. However, Hamidiya Cavalry was conceived by Ottomans to massacre the Armenains and to drive them out of their land. Although they were mostly Kurds BUT they were not representing Kurdish nation and not representative of all Kurds. .

@SikismekAtaturk You say I am plagiarizing right? Man look above. It is you not me writing comment under Aram khachatryan's music saying it is kurdish. It is Azergayjanis and sometimes kurds are writing under our videos saying it is their music:) and you tell me I am plagiarizing? I could also go and write under your music and the music of Azergayjan that it is ours and I would definitely be right , but I don't do, so if I don't do it have a little humility and shut the fuck up.

[BayQar]

@SikismekAtaturk And kurds need to confess for their sins against armenians, assyrians and greeks as much as turks need. Don't be two faced please. When you didn't need us you were hand to hand with turks. now they do the same shit what they together with you did to us in 19th century. Now armenians are becoming your friends or even brothers. What a miracle.

[BayQar]

@SikismekAtaturk Listen man if I speak the truth I don't turn against anybody. The Western Armenian kurds (not Anatolian, Anatolia is wester) have different music from Iraqi or Iranian kurds because it is mostly Armenian music and dances they use. And for me there is no difference between turks and kurds. Turks were organizers of Armenian genocide and mostly kurds were who killed, raped and destroyed. Maybe you will write some shit after this words but it is the truth I see it.

[SikismekAtaturk]

@BayQar Why don't you try this with the Turks who stole virtually everything you had in Anatolia, why you

turn against Kurds who support you like brother. It is very demeaning and belittling to say Kurdish music is mostly Armenian and it sounds like it's coming from an ultra-nationalistic Mongolian Turkic - who we both suffered from. Please don't PLAGIARIZE musical culture of others. It would be better said that we share same cultural traits and perhaps some folk tunes might sound similar.

[BayQar]

@SikismekAtaturk Man calm down. The kurdish music is mostly armenian. The kurds in Iraq or have different music from Western Armenian kurds and ask "why?".
