That's the problem, what if your Armenian blood demanded you betray America?
What if Australia and America were on opposing sides of a conflict, would your loyalties lay in America or Australia, or Armenia. (btw, sorry to hear about Armenia losing that province hope your fam is ok)..
In peace time it's easy to be half and half and half but during war time there is no room for dual citizenships/allegiances.
Hopefully I'll never have to choose but I would probably either fight for Armenia or sit out altogether. After all, my family and I were Armenians long before we were Australians.
I once heard someone say "if you're born in a barn, does that make you a horse?".
That's weak. my family originally were from Iraq but my great great whatever grandfather was a rich cunt and went to live in London, and then sent his family to Australia in the 1860's. Im iraq Australian by blood, but I am just Australian.
U would choose Armenia over your home country? Traitor.
Eh. I'm an Australian Armenian.
Proud Australian by heart, proud Armenian by blood. I don't care if Teddy or anyone here disagrees.
If I was an American, I would be equally proud of both my nationalities and equally prepared to die for both countries.

I've never thought of it that way.

I have a good friend 'Geuvorkian', also extremely patriotic armenian, he was born in Moscow tho about 5 years before the USSR collapsed.
I was his campaign manager in the last election.

You're not Iraqi. Your family has been in Australia since the 1860s. I'd be really surprised if you or your parents could even speak Arabic.
I'm first generation Aussie. There's a difference.
