Armenians Are Known For...

This is quite interesting. A year or so ago someone decided to test public opinion about groups of people. They used Google to conduct searches like, "Americans are known for" and then analyzed the results. Here are the top ten results for Armenians, duplicates excluded.

Armenians Are Known For:
...this trade [jewelers] around the world.
...their lavash.
...their long tradition of storytelling, jokes and historical narratives.
...their credibility and power on Capitol Hill because of their ability to mobilize and their understanding of the system.
...having large and close family bonds and the traditional values are still relevant in Armenia and Armenian communities abroad.
...having big noses.
...for their warmth and open hospitality.
...their love of education, culture and commerce.
...their excellence in work and remarkable progress in career.
...their healthy cuisine, easy to prepare yet interesting and exotic.

I agree with all of these except the one concerning my nose. I'll say it again: it's not big, it's outstanding!

Try replacing "Armenians" with other groups, such as Russians, Turks, Azerbaijanis, and see what you get.
