Modern Armenian Diaspora Diaspora that emerged after 1915 was born in the Middle East. The newly established Republic of Turkey in the Arab countries south 
of the disposal Armenians from side to side in the ’20s of the last century, formed the theme of today’s community. Almost a hundred years have passed since those days to. So go in peace in the Middle East 20 century, of course, has changed the fate of the Armenian community. Every single war has reduced the Armenian population in the Middle East.
In the early years wanting to stay close to Turkey, Armenians found in distancing themselves day by day. Some of Europe, and others further and further away, beyond oceans and settled in America and Australia. For example, 15-year Lebanese Civil War 100 thousand Armenians was the reason to abandon the Middle East. Now for the war in Syria. Distant from the conflict zone in the first year of the war, the Armenians have not abandoned the cities and villages. But first bomb exploded in Aleppo in July 2012 and then 20 thousand Armenians from Aleppo Aleppo hell were forced to leave. Last week, a small town on the border with Turkey Kesab’t event began a new wave of Armenian relocation has enabled us to witness.
But not Kesab Aleppo. Kesab not in Beirut or Istanbul. Kesab for Armenians Armenian kingdoms that existed in the Middle Ages a relic. A continuation title. Armenia without being dependent on the state, one of the places where Armenians live permanently, it places the fingers to count even much income. In short, after 1915 they continued to live a little bit of Armenians still one of the places. Another important matter is Kesab Armenians live in a village environment there. After the forcible deportation of Armenians urbanized life, look past one of the most important causes of breakage. As Kesab several residential location, this link with the past is preserved to create points.
NOT ONLY TO EFFECT KESABLI
Such a ring of extinction, primarily, including Kesablı, also will have an impact on the lives of many Armenians. Every year, visitors to Kesab, spent his summers there, always protecting Kesab’l spiritual bond we’re talking about a large community. Syria and Lebanon were the center of youth organizations Kesab camping. For Armenians, the European and American Kesab Armenianship, which symbolize. Armenianship real and authentic experience, then those who want to experience the feeling of a place unique in the world of Kesab’t.
Although it may seem adventurous and orientalist, diaspora identity is such a thing to behold. There could be remembered as the tale of the past, there was only one place, perhaps it is Kesab’t. But it is concerned that the extinction these days how diaspora not lose hope? Last drop of hope. Memorabilia dating from the disappearance of an old country influences how a society on the leaves? It is precisely for this reason, therefore, to lose hope diaspora. Kesab’l in Aleppo Armenians who still hope even lost once again. Every day, Aleppo, even under bombs “Kesab goes hand in hand, what do we do?” He asks, if they’re really Kesab have an important place.
Feelings of 1915
Another must have for Kesablı experience. They Muş 1915 or resulting from Urfa Armenians feels like. “We’ll be back the day after tomorrow,” they say. ‘re Hiding their house keys. We walked down that road once. The hardest, most difficult really, and then hope to put on one disappointment is to live. What’s strange current of hope on the Syrian regular army. Nusr they used the façade will be defeated, will pave the way to the Armenians said, “Here, go back to your homes” to say. Pink fairy tale than that, will you? In no time it was not, we think that it would not in Kesab, who can blame us to pessimism?
Hope this is going to perish. No, it does not disappear, like wax melting. Every day is a new day to lose hope in the diaspora. Okay, let’s say the Armenians fought. Was armed, went to the mountains and resistance Kesab started. Even if they do nothing but what will not be the same anymore. Why? Behold, o-rings, today was no longer the walkway that connects the past. Imagined as in films, passages folded once. Heroes can strive each day to find the gate, but it’s the same today what it is today, but what will happen next, nor the same past history.
