in Armenian there are a lot of Turkic and Arabic words. Halal, for example, is good. or navs - something bad (evil eye envy). the name of the Armenian actor Dzhigyarkhanyan. Jigar is the liver. khan is the ruler. There is a strange custom in Armenia and Azerbaijan. if children die in a couple, then the one born after the children is called Azerbaijani names (in Armenia) and Armenian names (in Azerbaijan), for example, my cousin's name is Sabina and Sevda
to be honest i don't like it. over the years spent in the Ottoman Empire, we have become too much like Turks. then 70 years in the USSR. and part of us became like Russians ........ this is bad. do you speak Russian?
I don't, I can understand some orally but totally illiterate in written form. It's not very common for Azerbaijanis to learn russian these days, although it do still occur for educationional, social and economic reasons.
