Turkish Armenian friendship before the gta 6

So I’m originally from Yerevan but left about 4 years ago. I keep seeing videos on Instagram of people partying in the streets every night, party buses and music everywhere, a million events happening year-round, all sorts of cafes, clubs and bars with ecstatic vibe. It seems like life is booming.

Is this reality? Obviously I know social media is not reality and my feed is bringing me a filtered view but it feels like Yerevan has become a Barcelona ngl. I’m gonna be coming soon and I’m genuinely curious to see what’s changed lol.

A couple of months ago, I started building my family tree on my father’s Armenian side. So far, I have managed to document more than 350 relatives.

Based on my estimates, however, the tree could potentially include anywhere from 1,000 people—if I am able to find information about the families who fled the Sasun region in the archives of the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute or in the Ottoman archives, although I am not very hopeful about the latter.

I have reliable information about my ancestors dating back to 1850. I also know the names of three earlier generations of direct paternal ancestors, but I have no information about the other members of their families. This takes that branch of the family back to approximately 1770–1800.

I had never really thought about just how large Armenian families could be. Of course, I had heard the joke about Armenians having a “small” wedding with more than 200 guests. But now I keep discovering people whom I have not only never met—I did not even know they existed.

So I would like to ask:
1. Are your families just as large?
2. If you have researched relatives who fled the Ottoman Empire—especially from the Sasun Valley, the Khut-Brnashen district, or the villages of Kost and Enguzik—please let me know which sources you used and which archives or institutions you contacted.

Hey guys, I’m 15(M) and im trying to find some cool spaces to celebrate Halloween. My friends are the same age. I checked few places they’re all 16+, can anyone recommend?
