I really wanted to see a 2nd date for Ari & Maro! I thought they seemed perfect for one another! No disrespect to Natasha, she is absolutely adorable & if she doesn't work out for Ari, she should be on Season 2 as a main single!! 🧡💕

[@zarabezhanyan3005]

We need longer episodes, please! ❤

[@marinahayrapetyan8380]

Out of all the main singles on the show, Vanessa is a 💎. While I want her to have a third date with Aleksan, I hope that doesn’t mean she leaves the season! 🤓🤩

[@poppygroove7974]

This show is so fun!!! I love seeing our Armenian diaspora experience on screen in a way that lovingly shows how diverse we are and that's not just about our tragic past -- but which still pays respects to that too.

[@ariandjewelsfun9019]

Please never stop this show!!! So addictive and very well produced!

[@goojigoojian2716]

Ari and Maro are so good together. But Ari and Natasha are also really good together. Ari should give Shanty some lessons 🤷🏻‍♂️🔥

[@rawan5804]

As a non Armenian who wants to learn more about your history and where you came from, can you include segments where the participants explain or just add script or something

[@armennicks597]

Ask away and I’ll tell you

[@HopefulInterventions]

I’m open to share it.

[@nairinocea9693]

There are non-Armenian sources such as Dio Cassius who wrote books on Roman history in the 3rd century AD, Byzantine-Armenian relationsh written by Greeks, references to Armenia in Persian historical records, and if you like reading about the Crusades, the French had a lot of relations with Cilicia which was one of the Armenian kingdoms that no longer exists today. When Europe ruled Israel, they married a lot of Armenian nobility, hence why Armenians have their own quarter in Jerusalem. If you want Armenian sources, most of the extant books are from the medieval period or earlier centuries for older history. Not perfect as the history also mixes religion into things, saying they were invaded for not being as faithful to Christ, etcetera, since a lot of priests wrote about them. TLDR Armenia is like an interesting side character who acted in pivotal moments in history, but isn't usually the main protagonist. Armenia was partially protected by its geography, and partially isolated by all the mountains and cliffs, and the elevated Armenian plateau, but they survived successing invasions of Mongols, Seljuks, Tamerlane, Arabs, old Persian troops when they were still Zorastrian. Persia also destroyed Julfa (in what is today Azerbaijan) and relocated hundreds of thousands of Armenians to Iran to help with business. That is why they have a, "New Julfa." Georgia had old relations with Armenia in the past, and at one time, they were more united. One of the best examples of an old Armenian city is currently in Turkey today, called Ani. It used to be known as the city of 1000 churches. Turks of course erase Armenians from their history books after wiping them off their historic homeland, and continue to destroy their architectural heritage of over 2000 monasteries and Churches, including destroying a medieval cemetary in Van this summer, but that tragedy is only one part of Armenia's history. There are still many beautiful churches and monasteries in what is Armenia today.

[@nairinocea9693]

They are really known for hospitality (even the poor try to feed you until you burst), stone carvings especially kachkars and churches, artistry (singing, music, paintings disproportionately given their size), an old wine-making industry, their loves for books (they tried to smuggle books out during the genocide, the sweet bibliophiles; even in their pagan mythology, they had a god of Tir of knowledge education and scholarship, who was a scribe for the gods), their love for chess, their adherence to Christianity despite being given a choice between conversion or death (not just during the genocide, but also, Persians tried to convert them to Zorastrianism from Christianity so strongly that the Persians said the Armenians put on Christianity not like a garment, but like their own flesh and blood), and perseverance to have lasted so long, when other old smaller nations fell away.

[@nairinocea9693]

They also love Arabs Egyptians and Iranians, and there are books (written by Armenians) about Armenians in the Fatimid Empire and other Muslim eras. They especially love Greeks, Greek Cypriots, and Assyrians. They also became a refuge for Yazidi refugees and built a temple for them as they feld Iraq. They have a lot of beautiful literature, with a golden age in the medieval period, and another one near the 5th century AD, and sadly, there was another golden age emerging in Armenian literature at the end of the 19th-early 20th century in a more Dickensesque manner, but the intellectuals were among the first to be executed, so they couldn't warn people to escape, so their writing careers were cut long with their throats. Komitas only survived because one of the Turkish soldiers liked his singing, but he went mad at the tragedy of his people. His songs are deeply cherished by Armenia, as he salvaged and saved a lot of folk songs that otherwise would have been completely lost to terror of 1915.

[@archuk6058]

Men need to stop simping. Armenia invented the red pill, armenian men living in diaspora become feminized overtime, due to the culture and life.

[@archuk6058]

Because Americans dont have a sense of nationalism. Theres no reason to, its a melting pot of cultures so no one really cares about what happens in Armenia, maybe a few dozen Armenians, thats about it. They would rather drive around in expensive cars and waive flags then go support their compatriots in Armenia. What I call fake patriotism. Honestly Armenian Americans are pretty embarrasing to me as a nationalist Armenian. Most Armenians in Armenia are embarrasssing as well, although I prefer living in Armenia than the states, thats why i moved. Armenia and the diaspora are at a weak point now. We either unite, smarten up and get stronger or we lose whatever we have eventually.
