Dear Adrine,

Living abroad is all I know since I was born. Unfortunately I have not had a chance to go to Armenia (yet).
I met many other Armenians who never been to Armenia. Sometimes it feels that there are 2 worlds out there -- Armenia and Diaspora and they exist in parallel.
That's my personal opinion. Like many other nations in similar conditions, Armenians learned to feel at home whenever they are. But, of course, the further we are from Armenia, the easier it is to assimilate. This is the most important trouble we have to deal with. National identity is not an empty sound. To me, even though I have never been to Armenia, it gives a sense of attachment to any other human being on Earth who shares same or similar ancestry.

That's how I feel, if I haven't answered your questions please tell.

And welcome to our forum!

I'm also a Diasporan.
I also have an attachment to the Homeland, and I wish I could re-settle in Western Armenia (that's where my ancestors were from before 1915)
