Peace for Armenia | Official Trailer | 2024 Documentary
As Christian Armenians unite in their fight for peace, justice, and human rights, they are forced to grapple with a hostile enemy targeting their people with genocide.
www.peaceforarmeniafilm.com/
“Peace for Armenia” weaves together the stories of Christian Armenians living in the United States, Armenia, and Artsakh in the three nerve-racking months leading to the end of the 35-year-long conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh. Beginning in the U.S., the film examines the context in which Armenian-Americans have maintained their cultural identity following the Ottoman Empire's genocide of their people.

Due to the production date, this footage is in the public domain and uploaded here to increase accessibility. Original Title: Armenia The Cradle of ...

Puerto Rico's Future: Statehood or Independence?
No, no and no. Relationships are already difficult, stay within your own culture, beliefs, values, etc.. . .everyone can relate and be much happier.generally. I love my Puerto Rican culture, the people, the music, our identity our love for our land can only truly be shared and understood by and with another Puerto Rican. Que viva mi gente, mi cultura y mi tierra, PAN, TIERRA Y LIBERTAD!
It would be like Hawaii and the natives would leave.
You have to go to Gringolandia if you don't speak the language but Gringolandia is in Dorado, a very limited place.
💯 - Rincón seems like it’s becoming like that too
@ dougkalagian I see what's happening on the island, and it saddens that it's becoming like Hawaii. The natives are disappearing
@Dionicio-hr4lq I hope it never fully becomes like Hawaii. Puerto Rico’s culture is so rich!
@@dougkalagian I really hope not I been thinking of going to live there and maybe have a food garden and such to sustain me.
@@Dionicio-hr4lq That sounds like a dream. Where are you living nowadays?
I've known people who've been cut in broad daylight for calling somebody a cabron / cabrona in P.R. . Within the context of an insult, it basically means " stupid / unsuspecting cuckold". Other Latin cultures throw it around like a vulgar term of endearment but if you say that to the wrong person in P.R. your life will be in danger.
Damn, thats crazy. I've heard it used in a playful manner in Puerto Rico, but I can see how it could be intense if you said it to insult.
How did this go from “haha I’m learning Puerto Rican spanish” to a channel about Armenia
I make content about different cultures I’m interested in. I’m also exploring what kind of content resonates with people, so I’m experimenting with different themes/topics. 😄
This is awesome. Congrats my friend

*I hate that word too. This shit feels more like social pressure than sustaining of freedom. It’s GROSS because I see the petty comedy in it. It’s NOT fun.*
Can you explain what you mean?
*THIS IS NOT COMEDY.*
Huh?
*Also, more people should think that they own Puerto Rico because Puerto Ricans themselves generally don’t even have that attitude. When you’re sensible and own something, you maintain it. Puerto Rico is generally FILTHY. That man is acting like a child and it’s EXTREMELY obnoxious.*
*”Blue eyes/white skin”. It’s not funny. A bunch of Puerto Ricans have those features. That shit didn’t come off as funny - even if he thought it did. It’s a waste of time. If you’re going to be funny, say something that’s actually absurd and not something that feels trite and stupid. This shouldn’t have ever even been posted.*
*Filth is not cultural. Puerto Rico is filthy. I’m not a “gringo”. My dad’s side and mom’s side of the family is Puerto Rican and I was born and raised here for about 7 years. Now I’m back living here and this place is BRUTALLY oppressive. A “gringo” is not an American. It’s a DISPARAGING word for anyone who doesn’t speak Spanish. Y’all are racist and full of shit. Too confident in yourselves to the point that you think your feces should be put on store shelves. This isn’t a comedy channel. It’s bullshit. Adults that need to shut the fuck up and do something productive instead of destructive and petty. Idiots on this video strike me as literally good-for-nothing and insensitive. They’re the types of idiots that laugh with their bullshit gangs when someone is suffering. They spend so much time focusing on extremely filthy and petty things.*
*What y’all really need to be doing is pressure washing those disgusting sidewalks and façades of buildings in Puerto Rico instead of promoting this nonsense. Shit. STOP THE BULLSHIT DRAMA!!!!!!*
i love my Puerto Rican girlfriend (of course spending my teen years in Miami helped)
👏🏻 did you guys meet in Miami?
@@dougkalagian no, North Carolina
Who cares what these Puerto Ricans think really, go where you want and do what you want and don't listen to these idiots, when I go to Puerto Rico it's to visit family, I couldn't care less what they think of me.
Gringo comes to Puerto Rico and buys up all the land and houses. Locals are piced out and leave. In 50 years Puerto Rico is the next Hawaii , no native language or culture left. Just ask any native Hawaiian Oh wait ....there are no native Hawaiians left.
Have you seen this happening in your neighborhood?

The Masa is new for me. After all I live in the northern part of the island. 😂😅

@thenearhorizon Acho, eso es un mamey. A "mamey" is a low hanging fruit that is easy to pick. So, we use the words "mamey" to say that something is easy.
@@brianrosado7211 Hah, I love it. There is a mango tree outside my apartment, so I will try to use this word soon. Thanks for sharing 😁 also, I hope you subscribe!
...the biggest problem in the island is the local corruption.drugs..car jackings..and inmates voting and deciding elections...
Thanks for sharing. How have you been impacted by these issues?
Si o si , siempre me va a encantar la isla del encanto. La gente son amable , simpática y la isla es tan preciosa. En verdad no tengo todas las palabras para explicar cómo me siento sobre P.R. Pana mio es boricua y por eso estoy aprendiendo el dialecto boricua. Sin embargo, si vas a vivir en la isla .. tiene sentido aprender el idioma. Por lo menos desde mi punto de vista.
💙
Funny how in the west it's different. If people come and don't embrace our culture that's our fault. We are expected to conform to them!!!
What do you mean? Do you have an example?
Puerto rican have decision to decide to vote whether or not to vote on the island, Wether if they going to vote with sovereignty states. Or commonwealth states Or Independence states Or stateshood.. they have decision vote, or whether they wanted to or not. It's they're indigenous native boricua tianos island, it's they're revolution of native island.
Even if they vote, they still need congressional approval
🤔 Congressional approval?.......
@@eclipseUFO Puerto Rico can't legally impact their own future, the power ultimately lies in the US congress.
Yes your right, you can blame the government puerto rico.
@@eclipseUFO why blame them?
Nice, I gotta check out those places next time I go down there. I've seen other people go to Cerro Mime but never knew the name, I'd love to go there.
Nice, you should! I haven’t been to that one either but I have been to a lot on the list. How was your recent trip?
@thenearhorizon It was great!! I messaged you guy on your IG about it. I went to that park that you guys went to with the tower and bunkers. I went with my cousins, they loved it too.
Nice!! Dang, were not on instagram much, mostly youtube sorry. Yeah that park is epic. Totally underrated.
@thenearhorizon Yeah I even offered to hangout, we can all go to Cerro Mime!!
It's along the lines that Thomas Sowell discovered when he did a study about minimum wage in PR
What did he discover?
Its no different no matter where you go in the world. Investor put up capital and time and knowledge to advance themselves. The real question is why isn't anyone teaching the locals to setup a airbnb. This is pretty straight forward. Yes, I'm Puerto Rician and have family on the island. Funny, but it's the island residents that are actually selling the property to the investors. But that's ok, everyone just in it to make money or not? 😮
Well its definitely like this in the US right now, idk about the whole world. I don't think many puerto ricans have the disposable income to refurbish their housing and turn them into Airbnbs, and then also have enough income to buy/rent a separate properties for themselves...
Man! but all these PR ladies are so cute and beautiful damm I have to go lol
Heres our playlist of all our Puerto Rico videos to help with your trip 😄 ruclips.net/p/PLT5hM3EsLGfWz-g6zh-vzjtiqKlVS2Tk-
It's not a country, it's a territory.
Have you told any Puerto Ricans that?
@dougkalagian yep, he said jes jes
Jus watched the weather channel! Showed an episode of the Bunkers! Crazy! I guess out in the middle of nowhere!?!? You’d think someone would go off grid & capitalize! Lol!🤔🤦🏽♂️
Nice! They’re actually pretty close to San Juan at Monagas National Park. Lots of bikers and hikers passing by on the regular. Only about 15 minutes away from the city surprisingly
This is my favorite ive come across. I stopped speaking spanish in like kindergarten trying to fir in so my spanish is rough but i remember all of these. Its weird because the relaxed manner of these videos sticks way better for me.
Thanks for sharing - yeah making these videos has definitely helped improve my Spanish too 😁
good video
Thanks brotha 😎
Spanish = mandatory! If you do not want to make a sincere effort to learn Spanish in a Spanish speaking country, you will be very frustrated and have a limited experience. Most people who won’t, generally speaking, might stay a year then go back home.
That seems to be the trend. Lots of those videos on RUclips titled "Why I'm leaving Puerto Rico" lolll
@@dougkalagian At least you are honest and clear about the reality of living in PR. Many of these “experts” start a RUclips channel within a month or two and offer terrible advice just to try and get views. I live in Colombia and I see so many people arriving (Medellin is getting 8000 people per month coming for the digital nomad visa) and are so unprepared to live here. I stopped helping them because most will not consider good advice I tried to offer.
Ah thank you I appreciate the compliment. And yeah 💯 that is the nature of RUclips 😁 click bait titles and then selling the dream
As a puerto rican who never has been to the island. Thank you so much for sharing some of the culture!!
My pleasure! Thanks you for the kind words. More Puerto Rico videos to come - hope you subscribe 🙂
I'm half Puerto Rican, and I've thought about maybe trying to move out there. I haven't visited since I was little, but I've been wanting to get more in touch with my roots the past few years. My Spanish is still mid-level, but I went to Argentina for a week by myself and managed to survive🤷♂️. I'm actually way more nervous about the flying roaches 😬
Oh you would do fine with mid level Spanish, especially in the San Juan area most people can speak English. But I’ve got to be honest, I don’t see too many flying roaches 😁 I’ve seen maybe 4 in the past two years
@@dougkalagian That's good to know! 😁 I heard that they're everywhere. Then again, my mom grew up in the mountains, so it's probably more common there than the city
@@magnum567134 haha thats probably it. Theres all kinds of crazy wildlife out in the wilderness. The tailess whip scorpion in puerto rico is horrifying
@magnum567134 I use to live in palm Beach one morning i hear like an army in my wall heater and air conditioner and I look and there were thousands on antenatal sticking out of the heater slats I closed it and turn the heat as high as possible 😅 there were palm tree behind my wall I had them all removed 😆 crazy experience.
@@Dionicio-hr4lq oh hell no!😬
My mother always said saying"¡Diablo!" was really bad and my grandmother would smack her if she ever said it growing up
🤣
Did you say it growing up?
@@dougkalagian nope...I only started speaking Spanish in my 30's, like 2 years ago 😅
Hows the Spanish coming along? I just started about 2 years ago too
@@dougkalagian My level's about a B1. They say B2 is fluency, but I still haven't been able to break through. Still feel like I'm improving, but some days are better than others 😅
So no one in Cupey speaks English? Lol
Haha I’m sure there are, it sounds like there are just less English speakers than the San Juan area
They don't have to in the rest of the island as people in SJ have because they work at hotels, american companies etc
Puerto Rico need to become an independent island to be able and move forward.
Why ?
@@dougkalagian What part of Independent you don't understand? 🤔
@@JJ-nq3ll I understand independence, I'm just wondering why you think its the best option
@@dougkalagian let’s start up by the Royal Decree 1815 from Spain towards P. Rico & Cuba. What has P. Rico gained under the dominion from 🇺🇸? Citizenship at what cost? Been drafted since WW1 to be killed over 🇺🇸 interest! Jones Act, in no way benefits the people on the island. P. Rico has the capacity to be an independent and prosperous island but only if they wanted.
