Govduntsi Bar
I like this dance so much, I am posting it twice. For those who have video/digital cams and are lucky enough to around such spirited old timers and witness the performance of their unique dances, record them and share it with your compatriots dispersed all over the world.
This dance is from Govdun, Sepastia (Western Armenia)

Armenian-Musalertsee Dance
Another folk dance from the region of Svedia (Western Armenia). The descendants of 7 villages that were forcefully uprooted and rescued by the french documented in a novel "the fourty days of Moussa Dagh" by Frantz Werfel, gather every year to in commemoration for their martyrs during that heroic battle against the Turkish genocidal state. These dances are part of a group of which some have been lost through the practice of cultural genocide.
P.S. If anyone out there has videos, recordings of the dances and songs from these villages please be kind and share them either through U-Tube or/and forwarding me a copy of them. I will pay you the shipping costs just let me know by email.
I am interested to make this blog a repository of all the cultural relics that are scatted around the world because of the Armenian genocide. Dances from all region of Western Armenian, including their proper names, songs, poetry, pictures so we can document the cultural and spiritual destruction besides the physical extinction that we all talk about.

Armenian Genocide
Genocide denial in Action. After eliminating 99% of its Armenian population, and working to silence and destroy their kurdish population because they just want to be who they are, in broad daylight they killed Hrant Dink a journalist who spoke openly issues the Turkish state does not want to face. Yet, they want to join the European Union without sharing European values. They want to force others into silence, destroy their churches and cultural heritages while contemplating building mosques in Europe and subjecting the Europeans to them.
