Armenian April

April is an unforgettable month in Armenian communities all around the world. It is a time of reflection & almost a self-awareness of why we are where we are (sorry for the tongue-twister). Being an Armenian living in America, & attending Armenian schools as a child, we were taught at a young age that our ancestors did not just wander out of their homeland & escape to other countries for fun, but rather pushed out. In April of 1915, neighboring country, Turkey, strong-armed & sent by extreme Zionist leaders, came to wipe the first Christian nation on Earth off it's feet. Massacring about 1.5 million Armenian civilians & leaving the rest in the dust. Yes, a genocide, & until today, denied by Turkey. But that's not the point.

You cannot dread on the past, but you should know where you came from. Which goes back to that tongue-twister, "Why we are where we are." And for me, as an Armenian, I am here, thousands of miles away from my homeland, because of greed, corruption, & malicious minds. Every day spent in this foreign land, will estrange me from my roots & Americanize my future. And if you're reading this from outside your motherland, you can relate. America is my homeland, but it is not my motherland.

And every year, this month of April, is when an Armenian commemorates the reasoning of not living in our motherland. In honor of that, we have added 2 new Armenia shirts to the Nationalist collection.
