Oh dang, didn't know you were Armenian! One of my good friends (surname Suny) has led me to believe that everyone who is Armenian is fiercely Armenian. Especially if Turkey comes up in conversation.
A lot of that ferocity is built-in to our culture via our history, but you'll find that it's really present with Armenians living outside of Armenia. They're far more Armenia-loving than Armenians in Armenia, but they may not have even been in the country before. I like to think I'm not an asshole about it because I have certainly met my share of ferocious Armenians, i.e. I'm not gonna spit in a Turkish guy's face cause of a hundred-year-old genocide that he had nothing to do with. I still may mention Armenia often in a conversation but that's just cause I really do personally love the country and I've learned a lot there. It's a shaky situation. eh.
