Uma canção patriótica armênia (com traduções inglesa e russa na tela): Axpers u es (Me and my brother / Я и мой брат)

Tradução inglesa dada pelo canal do vídeo:

English lyrics:

"Without any right, the Turks keep occupying our lands.
And how can we sleep calm knowing this??
Dear mother don't worry and don't be sad,
We go to war - Me and my brother!!!
It is a gloomy night and we are in a pit
The blood of the Armenian heroes flows here like a river
We fight this way - this is a war
We keep shooting at the Turks - me and my brother
Each morning when the Turks try to get our hill
The world just trembles under our strikes
We keep fighting as we can for the Armenian nation
Me and my brother!!!
There is no way back here - it is a bloody war
Just bless us and don't cry dear mother!
And if one day two eagles will be flying above your head
Know that it's me and my brother!!!
One day the closed doors will be opened in front of our nation
The black days of mourning will get colored with gold
That day we will be back home
We will be back with laugh and happiness - me and my brother!!!"

Uma das mais belas e pungentes canções sobre o genocídio armênio! Inga and Anush Arshakyans - Aprelu April (com tradução inglesa e letra no alfabeto armênio)

Postado pelo canal do Youtube Sharm Holding

Published on Apr 18, 2015

Director: David Babayan
Performers: Inga and Anush Arshakyans
Lyrics by Avet Barseghyan
Music by Mané Hakobyan
Arranged by Martin Mirzoyan

Dedicated to Armenian Genocide Centennial.

Lyrics

A fresh wound, just one century old one
Songs are still alive from my homesickness
Home, dreaming of you sleepless
Home calls me back in my dreams.

Let the beg and cry heard from my homeland
Be the brutal hangman for your guilty soul
Death, you’ve defeated me for a while
But my destiny has been to be alive.

refrain
My heart was broken by a sword, but I survived due to love
No garden is remained, but new plants have been grown
No monastery can be found, but I still pray for you
My Lord, deliver me and my nation from evil.
Forever.

The ancient breath of my land is in my blood,
I will still carry the blossomed old cross
We live and we will flourish,
As the life order for Armenians is to be alive.

refrain
My heart was broken by a sword, but I survived due to love
No garden is remained, but new plants have been grown
No monastery can be found, but I still pray for you
My Lord, deliver me and my nation from evil
Forever.

My soul won’t die, since my belief guides me
My holly prayer
From my native land I will be born again
A drop of Armenian spring
April for living.

refrain
My heart was broken by a sword, but I survived due to love
No garden is remained, but new plants have been grown
No monastery can be found, but I still pray for you
My Lord, deliver me and my nation from evil
Forever, forever, forever, forever, forever...

Cientistas, mais uma vez, confirmam: fobias podem refletir traumas de nossos ancestrais.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/science-news/10486479/Phobias-may-be-memories-passed-down-in-genes-from
 Eis aqui o brilhante comentário de minha amiga e irmã espiritual Sigalit Purple Sun, que, inclusive, sugeriu a reportagem do artigo, com seu compartilhamento no Facebook, ao qual muito agradeço. 
Em sua descrição, se tem uma explicação clara e objetiva sobre o complexo processo da memória epigenética:

Sigalit Purple Sun

"Here is a scientific article that offers an explanation for Hereditary Holocaust Syndrome. HHS is what you see in the children and grandchildren of holocaust survivors in Israel who walk around like zombies as if they had been in the death camps too. Is it possible that the trauma of the holocaust can be passed to children through the DNA? The answer, as suggested by this study, is Yes and No. Here's what the scientists did: They trained mice to fear the smell of cherries by shocking them whenever they were exposed to the smell of cherries. Just like Pavlov and his dogs (ringing a bell before feeding dogs taught dogs to salivate when they heard a bell) these scientists taught mice to be afraid when they smelled cherries. Okay, that's pretty straightforward--basic conditioning through positive or negative reinforcement. The amazing thing happened when they exposed the offspring of these conditioned mice to the smell of cherries: they TOO showed signs of fear! Somehow the offspring AND their offspring INHERITED a fear of cherries! How? Not through genetic mutation...that is, the DNA of the parent mice was not changed and then passed to the baby mice. The inheritance occurred through EPIGENETIC MUTATION. Epigenetics is the process by which DNA gets expressed in the individual. For example, everyone gets 2 copies of DNA--one from their mom and one from their dad. BUT only 1 copy of the DNA gets "turned on" in each cell. You may get either your mom's nose or your dad's nose, but not both. Epigenetics is the complex set of processes by which the body selects which gene (your mom's or dad's) gets expressed. The scientists found that the trauma experienced by the parent mice caused epigenetic changes that were inherited by the baby mice. How exactly these epigenetic changes are encoded in the DNA is still a mystery. But Hereditary Holocaust Syndrome is no longer an urban legend...it is real!"

Já postei em meus blogs links para artigos e vídeos sobre os experimentos científicos comprovando que descendentes de sobreviventes do Holocausto tendem a apresentar crises de depressão e como os cientistas conseguiram constatar a ligação entre os dois fatos.

Um texto escrito por um curdo sobre a verdadeira origem de seu povo, com valiosa informação sobre a verdadeira classificação das línguas ou dialetos curdos na árvore linguística indo-europeia.

O texto é uma resposta dada no site "Quora" por um curdo amigo meu, sob o pseudônimo (usado por razões de segurança) de Mahmude Gundi. Ele é de Bashur, a parte do Curdistão atualmente ocupada pelo Iraque.

The Kurds have their origins in the land of Karda. They are one of the indigenous people of the Middle East. More precisely, one of the indigenous people of south-eastern Turkey, north-eastern Syria, northern Iraq, north-western Iran and south-western Armenia.

The land of Karda was mentioned on a Sumerian clay tablet from the 3rd millennium BC and with that Sumerians meant the area between the south of Lake Van and the Zagros Mountains. Also, historical, linguistic and genetic studies point out to the origin of the Kurds being the Zagros Mountains in the northwest of Iran.  [1] [2]

The Babylonians referred to the Kurds as “Garda” and the Persians used the similar term to referrer to the people who were living around the Zagros Mountains in what is now northwest Iran. In 745 BC, the Assyrian king Tiglath-Pileser III declared war against a man by the name Kurti (Qurtie) and who was from the same area, the land of Karda. [3]

The ancient Kurds waged war with the Assyrians for almost 700 years. Later, an alliance of the Medes, the Elamites and the Kurds succeeded to bring down the Assyrian Empire in their areas. The Kurds coalesced with the Medes and adopted their language. The Medes have often been believed to be a starting point for the Kurdish ethnogesis. The reason why I said it is believed, because there is no strong proof of this yet, but also not one single scholar who has completely/strictly opposed to it either.

Corduene, which was an ancient region, which covered the land of Karda and some areas from Zagros mountains in present-day northern Iraq, was mentioned in many Jewish sources. Jewish sources traced the origins of the people of Corduene to the marriage of the mythical“Jinns” of King Solomon with beautiful Jewish women. Another the most interesting aspect in these legends is that, in the so-called Islamic Golden Age, King Solomon was also mentioned by the early Islamic scholars/authorities to explain the origin of the Kurds. Corroborated by a great deal of other historical documents and studies, Corduene remains the only region which can be considered as the most probable origin of the Kurds, with such reliable and solid evidences. That is the reason recent academic sources consider Corduene as the proto-Kurdish region. [4] [5] [6]

(60 BC Kingdom of Corduene, Source: Wikimedia)

The greatest discovery which has helped to clarify the origin of the Kurds was made when dialectologists succeeded in proving that the Kurdish language does not belong to the Southwestern Iranian language subdivision, to which the Persian language belongs to. The Kurdish language belongs to the Northwestern Iranian subdivision.  [7]

(Iranian languages family tree, Source: Wikimedia)

There are tons of scientific theories, assumptions, claims, conspiracy theories and even some ludicrous rumors about the origin of the Kurds.

Here are some of such theories, claims and wild assumptions:

• The Kurds are Persians
  The Kurds aren’t Persians. The Kurds and Persians have lived together thousands of years and they have affected each other´s cultures and languages, however, they are still distinct peoples.
• There are no Kurds, they are mix of different people.
  There are still many among the Turkish people, including MPs and professors, who publicly claim that there are no such a thing as Kurds. That is the most absurd of all such claims, no doubt.
• The Kurds are Arabs
• The Kurds are actually Jews, because they are genetically close to each other.
  However, the sheer fact that they are genetically close to each other does not mean per se that they are same people.
