WE MISS YOU SO MUCH MISS MARAL! We remember you during every family gathering, and I cannot believe that my dad used to drive that bus… for 15 years! Thank you Patil for doing this! In tears!
Hello little sister I am Hamed and I also live in Aleppo I am very proud of you, keep doing this work. We need boys and girls like you who have a passion to show the world the beauty of our country Our country is beautiful and does not deserve what happened to it Keep up your great work and good luck Your brother Hamed❤
I'm so glad you liked it! I remember the year we got lockers and I felt so cool that we now have lockers in the school but the funny thing is that with the system there you have to take all your books home for homework and you don't get to choose courses hahahah so the lockers ended up being somewhat useless
@@PatilToutounjian That's funny, did people store anything like school lunches or snacks? I had a locker but I never used it since I always brought the books I needed to school for the day and nothing extra. I was not a responsible person so I lost some of those books or damaged them lol.
Great video! If you haven't done that in the past, it would be nice to see a video about the famous Dr. Altounian of Aleppo, and his legacy, such as the hospital that carries his name.
Well i guess Or Maral said it all we are grtasiratsaganner😍😍 and i think you got a grtasirats reunion in the comments.. thank you for this beautiful one❤
Thank you so much Patil (I love you name) Jan for these videos you make.😘 Your works are appreciated and inspiring also for younger generations yet to come. I have never been to Aleppo and I have friends from Alepo. They brought me lots of suwiners from Alepo, But these neighborhoods are very familiar and the set ups to my Armenian neighborhoods in Iran especially the churches and schools and recreation centers, what a beautiful memories from our past. EXCEPT the streets electricity street wires hanging from posts and the streets much cleaner. In Iran Armenian neighborhoods real estates are always higher than Muslims neighborhoods because of low crimes, clean environments with white curtains and shiny walls and windows. I watched all your Armenian trips videos. They are all Incurably tempting and want someone to just jamb in the plain and be there. I wish you good spirit to continue your education first and your traveling success✝💐🥰
@@PatilToutounjian Patil Jan Jan Hi beautifulI don't want to disappoint or confuse you dear but motherly I don't recommend you or any female to visit Iran alone, because it's not safe at all and I'm sure you know better than me🙂 I have Iranian and American passport but still every time I enter my birth country they give me huge headaches and a disgusting look.

i had the honor of attending grtasiradz in 2013-14 then had to move to jemaran, istg had the best 2 years of my school life there, grtasiradz just hits different
I travelled to Allepo in 2007 as a precursor to my Armenia trip travelling from Australia, 3 days before, 3 daya after. I have no family from Syria, am a second generation Armenian and I just went to see the Armenian community there. I went to an AGBU barahantes, we went to the Homentmen agoomp on most nights, went to the rooftop restaraunt forgot the name, I also went to Kessab during that period when they do matax, I stayed with a random family both in Kessab and Allepo, I saw my watchmakers family who are Syriani but speak Armenian, I also on my return went to a Hnchak camp and argued with them being a Tashnak was fun. Best of all, a lady in Kessab remembered my mum in Sydney apparently my mum shouted and showed her a good time and when word got around Kesab the son of Azniv is here, the lady found me, hired a bus for the group I happened to be with which was also random and gave the group i was with a tour (she was the owner of the Armenian restaruant at the top of the hill in Kessab) which we went to at the end of the night. Honestly after Armenia, Allepo is hands down my next favourite place and I have travelled alot and lived in parts of Europe but yeh I'm old school so definetely prefer these sort of places. I live in Armenia now and your videos are enticing me to come with my children for a week or so, your videos are great. I would like to appreciate it from a different perpsective next time around.
Wow this is beautiful 😍 thank you so much for sharing your story! I’m the same way, I lived in so many different places but Aleppo will always have a special place in my heart ❤️ I love kessab too and would love to visit Syria for longer next time and go to kessab and Latakia 🥰🙏thank you so much for all your encouragement and positive words
Love your videos, thanks! They've opened up a new world for me. I only wish they were a bit longer and that you would get into more detail about your world which might seem commonplace to you but for the rest of us, it's fascinating and quite mysterious. Please don't take it lightly. I long for more.
This makes me so happy to hear ❤️❤️🙏 thank you so much! I was worried if people might find this too long so your words and encouragement mean a lot and I’ll definitely keep in mind 🙏🥰
@@PatilToutounjian Oh no, your perspective is unique and personal. You've opened up an unknown world to me. In fact, I took a video walking tour of Aleppo which was quite long and I was delighted to recognize "The Turtles" cafe which was featured in your video. Again, thanks!
Visited Alep last summer and was so impressed with the schools especially the Beth El high school. We even attended its graduation ceremony!! Another interesting thing we observed is most of the Armenian schools are now populated with mostly Arab students who learn to read and write in Armenian. They also pay for the scholarships of the few Armenian students remaining.
The lady at the school reminds me of so many Armenians from when I was a child. That huge heart and love is something that erodes when we are away the further we are from Masis and Sis, our Ararat. Since 2024, Azerbaijan is demanding the Government of Armenia remove 'Ararat' from national symbols. The irony is that 100 years ago, even the Turks recognized our Masis (Ararat) as Ağrı Dağı because of Armenian history, not Turkish history. It's nice to see our history and culture maintained anywhere, but especially near our Ararat. The survivors of gavurdag maintain.
Live to all the Syrian people ❤. So sad to see what the west had done in Syria 🇸🇾. Hope that some day when the USA leave the north of Syria you will all be able to live in peace ✌
Thanks for the vlog. Aleppo is usually portrayed as this city with run down infrastructure. Yet at the end of the video you passed by upscale buildings. What neighborhood is it?
well most cities that were ransacked and destroyed by either the resistance or the regime are mainly Muslims populated cities. Most Christians town were not bomb heavily...still happened but are not as destructive as any Muslims majority town and community. Both the Assad regime, ISIS and the Syrian resistance usually play their political games and war stuff in Muslims majority community town and cities. They usually left the chrishaisn community alone unless its collateral damaged or very mixed cities. Even during ISIS rampaged most of their victims were Muslims citizen not Christians. Assyrian Christians and Armenian Christians are left alone or fled earlier to western countries. Not to mention Aleppo is in the North near to Turkiye and has always been a Christians majority cities for almost 1000 years even during any of the early Islamic Caliphates and the Ottoman Empire, as a matter of fact it was more vibrance, populated and more richer during the time of the Ottoman Empire.
syria is a beautiful place but am syrian and we gets alot of struggles here like electricity comes for like 4 hours a day and prices are HIGH and even more struggles

There is no place for Christians in Syria among the opposition. It is either an extremist terrorist Islamic opposition, or an extremist Kurdish ultra nationalists, both of whom committed horrific massacres against Christians in the past. For this reason, the Christians of Syria, the Christian Armenians, the Christian Greeks, and of course the Christian Arabs, stand with the secular nationalist Bashar al-Assad. Additional information: The Armenians in Syria took refuge there at the beginning of the last century after the famous Armenian genocide carried out by the Kurds and Turks. The Armenians appreciate how the Syrians opened their homes to them, and they cannot betray them.
Syrians and Armenians have old cultures and love each other. Lebanon also loves Armenians. Turks don’t have a good reputation because of their vulgar actions. Sorry you are such a sad little man. May God open up your heart and heal your sins.
I'm also a graduate of Grtasirats. I was unable to hold back my tears, especially at Miss Maral Tertsagian's speech
When she was speaking all of us got emotional and teared up.. I can't believe I got to see her again and we revisted so many memories together
I'm from Syria too
And I respect ✝️❤☪️

Same here
