The hatred these people have for each other makes no sense at all to me. They aren't as different as black people and white, but our society has grown up in only two hundred years while they have taken thousands and are still killing each other. I have a friend of Armenian extraction, but he is an American and makes no point of his Armeniousness. Here's what I found in yourdictionary.com The two languages seem to be about as different as Spanish and Portuguese; in other words, from the same root, as I'm sure their genes are. I don't really see the difference; perhaps you can explain. From my position the principal difference seems to be that one is spoken by people with tanks and Uzis and the other is spoken by people with suicide belts. (By the way, what is your area of expertise? I am a forester myself.)
