Actor Joe Manganiello discusses his Armenian heritage

When we talk about culture, we often think of food, language or unique traditions. But for 'True Blood' actor Joe Manganiello... it's deeper than that. KTLA’s Ellina Abovian reports. April 2024.

It's a fascinating family history, it must be very satisfying to discover your roots. Armenians are spread around the world because of the genocide in 1915, thanks for sharing.

Hello. What a touching story, especially the part about his grand-grandmother and grandmother. I think you could tell that Joe got emotional when he was talking about them. TBH I got a little emotional myself. Very touching. Thanks for this story.

Thanks, for your memory, In 1988-1990 in Azerbaijan, 2023. in Nagorno Karabakh, again was killed, forced to leave by Turk-Azerbaijane, Christians Armenians. Turk- Azerbaijan never wants to stop persecute Armenians The reason is a violations of the Law, against the People Rights, never was punished, Genocide has never been recognized by Turk-Azerbaijan.

90 годы армяне захватили Карабах и вокруг него 7 районов оккупировали изгнали оттуда около миллион беженцев ради миацума и в этом вы обвиняете азербайджанцев ???????????????

[@arsen1260]

@@user-di5oc8qe2uВесь Карабах принадлежит Карабахцам. Согласитесь, Родина так называемых Азербайджан, это Алтай, и сейчас, в энциклопедии, написано, этнические жители Алтая это Турки. Какие притензии к армянам? 3000 лет весь Карабах принадлежал Западной Армении, где сейчас половина осталась в турции. Есть история, надо изучать, а не слушать кого попало

[@user-di5oc8qe2u]

@@arsen1260 Я надеюсь что вы взрослый и адекватный человек , хоть и армянин. Давайте оставим вашу историю о том что хаи еще жили до динозавров. И оставим покое Алтай и Индию. Здесь и сейчас. У меня армянам никаких претензии. Просто за вашу миацума потекло много крови с обоих сторон. Карабахский армян не устраивал жить в составе Азербайджана, вот и они ушли. Армяне отдадут 4 села ( пока 4) и все.

Is it part of the Armenian culture to visit friends and relatives after midnight?

[@vikik4714]

I will answer your sarcastic question very seriously. Armenians are one of the ancient cultures, and the nation's traditions formed w-a-a-a-y before the air conditioning era. Armenians homeland is in a hot climate where summers are very hot. That is why it is a rooted tradition for people to go out only after the sun sets. If you don't like it for any reason, to widen your intellectual and emotional horizons, I would suggest - to understand a culture, ANY CULTURE, look at the mechanisms of their survival. This is what cross-cultural specialists teach.

[@V.E.R.O.]

@@vikik4714 It's not a sarcastic question at all. Although I've had Armenian classmates and coworkers I never had to live next to them. Now I find myself in the unenviable position of having them as upstairs neighbors. I could care less about their culture and traditions as long as it doesn't bother me. My neighbors are very loud and noisy, they don't walk they stomp and let their children run all day then despite being home all day they get visitors late at night and on a weekday who are also very noisy! It's like they don't know the concept of consideration for others and being a good neighbor.

[@vikik4714]

@@V.E.R.O.One can find inconsiderate people among all ethnicities and races including Armenians. It is not an ethnic trait. Also, I understand that you are stereotyping. You are talking about one family, but blaming all Armenians. I agree this specific family might not be the best example of its people. However, this is not only about them - it is about you too. I understand that you don't care about other people. Maybe that's why they do not care about you too? I believe you have many mechanisms to deal with the problem instead of writing irrelevant comments about the whole nation. Use your EQ. Try to neutralize your negative feelings trying to find something positive. Try to become friends with them. I don't believe that anyone would not care or try to hurt a person whom they like.

[@nichegoseberazdvatri]

If you develop negative feelings towards a nation because of your neighbours that’s serious issues within yourself. You deal with it by communicating with management and so forth to report nuisance. Your comment is filled with hatred towards a nation as a whole and is unwarranted.
