It just goes to show that armenian hospitality is already legendary

Such a shame Greece and Armenia are separated today. We even belong to different alliances. However, the people love each, we have a really large Armenian minority in Greece today, and more can come anytime.

Armenians are the few of refugees/immigrants who will always be welcome in Greece by everyone...

Im always excited to meet an Armenian in my Homeland Hellas. Our cultures are so alike and i find them very intriguing. I also segred in the army with an armenian guy. Very cool guy, its nice to see that we had friendly relations for thousands of years

Of course we’ve always been neighbors it’s only recently we’re separated 😢

So sorrz that as a modern day greek, we are so insignificant in comparison with the former glory, to help our armenian friends with their artsakh stepanakert territory. Also the most beautiful women i ever met are armenian woman. Remember once i met 2 girls in germany and were bamboozled that both were so beautiful and when i asked from curiosity where they are from they said armenia

There must have been a lot of tatiks at that village.

His campaign was technically not a failed campaign. It's just that immediately proceeding the campaign they had to get the heck out of Dodge.

Excuse me man do you know exactly what village it was?

[rubeng]

I wonder what language they had to speak to understand each other

[Xardas]

Wow! How did you make those map effects? :)

[cardsofkoi]
