The feminization of national personifications and identities over the last 200 years beginning with the French Marianne explains much of the rot and decline in our modern societies today whereby strong patriarchal principles and values such as integrity, honor, respect, discipline, authority which were held to high regard have devolved to worthlessness.
It is a good thing that "Mayr Hayrenik" sounds absolutely stupid as this mental disease never took hold in the Armenian Nation.
This most degenerate and ugly Bolshevik statue will be gone. My god! What an ugly statue.
Hayk (founder of Armenia) is the national personification of Armenia and has been for the past 4000 years and Hayrenik (translates to Fatherland for non-Armenian speakers) is the name of our land.
There is no such thing as Mayr Hayrenik and there will never be such a thing. It is a Bolshevik creation like "Mother Russia."
