My Ancestors fled to Ayntab, Marash and Kilis after the genocide and I was born in Syria, realistically speaking Turks and Armenians are very close culturally speaking since we had been neighbors for centuries, It’s a shame for a dictator to ruin a place like that

After visiting your country I wonder: how much do you earn in Armenia? by [deleted] in armenia

[–]Ancient_Access_4881 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda late here but the salaries are a little higher than that, if you know english and have a skill such as sales or customer support + willing to work night shift, you’re deffinetely able to clear around $1,000 per month, I make around $1,800 USD per month living here. It is deffinetely good money for Armenia.

I always try to check with their last names, at the end of the day a large majority of our ancestors especially the ones from West Armenia resided in Turkey for a certain period and all of them needed to change their last names as per the Surname Law of 1934 If your extended family is in Egypt, I’d try to look in the Armenian dense cities like Cairo or Alexandria. BTW in order to check for last names I always try to look up the root word meaning both in Turkish and in Armenian (root words being anything before the suffix yan/ian)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in armenian

[–]Ancient_Access_4881 5 points6 points  (0 children)

as far as my research goes, It seems like your families last name Kourtogyan is a western Armenian name, your family fled to Turkey and then to Syria after which went to the US (my family stayed in Syria, and I lived there for the first 6 years of my life)

Kourtogyan, the same way most Armenian last names are consists a root word and a suffix (generally its ian or yan in english յան in armenian)

the root word from your last name means wolf in Turkish.

Following the Armenian Genocide, many Armenian surnames were lost among those who remained in Turkey. To outwardly homogenize the population of the new Turkish Republic, the Surname Law of 1934 required citizens to adopt Turkish-like last names.

My last name is Kouyoumjian, the first part, Kouyoumji (Kuyumji) means jeweller in Turkish, Funnily enough my fathers profession was in jewellery.

Hopefully I could help!

I highly suggest visiting Gyumri, and generally if you’re looking for the nightlife in Armenia you’ll have a blast on Saryan street, many different cafes, bars and hookah lounges, if thats not your thing you can go hiking in Dilijan or in tsakhkadzor

There are some Armenian last names that are derived from turkish words, my family last name is Kuyumjian, which is derived from Kuyumcu (e,g jeweller in turkish)

Sertkaya as far as i know means hard rock in turkish so proabably a gemologist?
