		I mean, Christianity has played a big role in keeping us united and maintaining our identity and stuff, it's amazing that these people haven't yet assimilated and still consider themselves Armenian.
		But because Armenians are Christians and Hamshenis are Muslims, they're not easily accepted.
		I still accept they are Armenians but in my head it sounds so wrong they use the word hye...I guess if they said it in turk it wouldnt even bother me but the word hye...its like taboo (yes I know im a crazy nationalist)

		Furthermore, as far as I understand when you say "Armenian", you use it for the ones who are Christians, not for the muslim Armenians such as Hamshenis.
		I am sure you heard the term "convert", and it is also well known fact that the hundreds of thousands of Armenian Christians converted to Islam in the 16th and 17th centuries, and even the Christian ones adapted to the Ottoman culture, language and life style.
