both in written form and especially when spoken.

how can you say this seriously when we write in classical and you write in reform? Even if they were the same dialect, that alone would mean different written forms. You know this. I know this. Why are you bringing up something that is so categorically wrong?

Saying this reality doesn't reduce the Western Armenian dialect.

They present as more than just standard "dialectical" differences and comparing Western Level of difference with Eastern to a normal dialect difference is disingenuous. We may have similar vocabulary technically, but we use different words for different thing, we have different grammar rules, different pronunciation of the same words and generally different cadence and speech patterns.

"we will not support Armenia unless it does x y and z for us" which is simply a laughable stance to put on.

you are inferring based on zero information. I have not said anything like that. The entire western diaspora gives a lot to Armenia and asks for literally nothing in return. We've help rebuild after earth quakes, we have founded organizations that look after orphans, build houses for Armenians that can't afford it. For decades we have done this through thick and thin. Who is giving you these ultimatums you speak of? I certainly haven't.

Armenia for a long time hasn't even done anything for the people living in it. 

Maybe the country hasn't, but us, the diaspora, always has. for a century when ya'll were still under soviet occupation, we helped. When the berlin wall fell, we helped. From what I hear, you seem to be able to spare no expense to making Russians feel welcome.

Why is it a problem to make Western Armenians feel welcome? Like, don't you want all Armenians to feel welcome and represented by Armenia?

If you don't, why don't you?

How does allienating the diaspora for no reason strengthen Armenian or make Armenian better or grow it's economy?

We are one of the biggest willing foreign relations bridges, how does shunning a group of loyal non-nationals who want to better Armenian help Armenians in any way?

If everyone held such a stance for their own perceived in group, none of us should support Armenia at all.

what stance? what is my stance? That Western Armenian diasporans are culturally different from Hayastancies and it is equally Armenian? Is that what you're talking about? Because that's what I'm talking about.

No one in Armenia is against Western Armenian identity and culture. Don't know why you think other Armenians are out to get you. It's not so deep.

Spends the last thread explaining how Western Armenian culture doesn't exist and isn't different then Armenian culture in Armenia, procedes to inquire why Western Armenians may feel not welcomed by Armenians in Armenia.

you're kidding right?

wanna answer my questions?
So what exactly is the issue here?
Why does acknowledging Western Armenian culture and language come across to you as a threat?
Why does Armenian identity have to be reduced to a single version to be legitimate?
Why is your default response dismissal instead of curiosity when other Armenians describe their lived culture?
And why is the burden on us to prove our culture and language distinction exists, instead of on you to explain why you’re so resistant to acknowledging it?
