Armenian Nationalism and the youth
One of the main reason that i wanted to write this blog was to inform the readers how much we need Armenian nationalism in our youth. The majority of our youth (in Glendale) don't even know what fedayin means. The Armenian youth (in glendale) doesnt even know which year Armenia got its 2nd independence day. I think one of the main reason is that we didnt know to think unified way or in another words dont know whats unity. Most of them act like as gangsters and some even join gangs and pretend their cool (in reality their so dum that you cant talk about descent stuff with them) Armenian Nationalism needs to grow in every Armenian kid's heart especially in diaspora. One of the solutions that i can think of is that we should motivate ourselves with learning as much as we can. Knowledge is power and being intelligent is one way we can solve this kind of problems. Even, our so called Nationalist party in diaspora (Dashnaktsyutun) fail to "install" true Armenian nationalism in youth's heart. They are doing good job keeping Armenian youth well Armenian but as far as nationalism goes they do horrible job. One of the best Armenian Nationalism Groups in Glendale is the Armenian Aryan Order. Their tv shows talk about Armenian nationalistic issues every sunday on channel 26. I think we need more of this kind of parties, groups etc. We need Armenian nationalism and we need it fast. As Garegin Njdeh said "Countey without nationalism is like body without soul."

Thanks for such a good artcile about the nationalism for all armenians!!..I support your suggestion connected with educating the youth..We ought to know our history and value it...I'm Armnenian from Russia (Moscow) and sometimes I see that at my university the majority of Armenians behave like people who don't the history of their Motherland...Anyway we should unite...But don't forget that tolerance is the basis of international communication....Nationalism doesn't need to have radical direction!!!...if you have some fresh ideas about our Armenian union please contact with me through e-mail us.hayastan@gmail.com
