How much do Armenians understand the Aremnian situation, it's political, economical, social or otherwise ? Is it in our blood to help the "ARMENIANS", or is it our intention to even lose the very little we have? We must build, improve, progress, acheive, excell, promote, unite, defend, and LOVE what is for. If this issue will create a new problem, then WE, Armenians are to me ashamed of ourselves. For milliniums we struggled, but we loved our nation, and so we were able to survive. An advice to my people: " The enemies of Armenians are those who do not see what is ahead." Mernim Hayots Hamar.

Most Americans don't know all the words. It is on the opposite side of the spectrum compared tp Mehr Hayrenik. More popular songs are America The Beautiful or , God Bless America. One thing that America's anthem and Armenia's have or had is tradition. Khatchatourian's melody is inspiring and has a following amongst my friends. If you listen to Mehr Hyrenik with out the singers , it loses all it's flavor and emotion. Imagine a visiting dignitary listening to the band playing a few bars over and over again. Armenia deserves better. Oh Canada, now there's an anthem with or without the lyrics! The Star Bangled Banner isn’t particularly liked by most Americans. Most Americans don’t know all the words.

Just leave the anthem as it is. National unity is more important than anything else. The ARF is correct on giving the old anthem official status, that's the most prudent step. What if the German High Chancellor pays a visit? Hmm? Or the Pope? What then? Please, just a few minutes silence if you will... Who died? No-one it's our anthem.
