Youth
‘Hai Tahd? Can you explain what that is?’
By Dalita Getzoyan
A few months ago, I was at a Providence Armenian Youth Federation (AYF) Juniors meeting. At a certain point during the meeting, the Seniors were asked to introduce themselves and say what they do in the AYF. When it was my turn, I introduced myself as a member of the Central Executive whose primary interest is in Hai Tahd. I invited the Juniors to come talk to me if Hai Tahd was something they were interested in.

I will frame it shortly HAI TAHD is the proud sensation of being Armenian. THANKS for your article.
I would feel shame today to speak about hay tad I would rather call it hay kun
For me Hai Tahd is correcting the wrongs that have been done to us as a people and a nation.
The guilty parties are not limited to Turkey, but also include Europe – France, England and Germany in particular. I would throw in the Soviet Union in there too, but it does not exist anymore as a political force.
-Germany enabled the Turks to commit the Genocide.
-France gave Armenian Cilicia to Turkey on purpose but created “Syria” and “Lebanon” without so much as a hiccup.
-England meddled in Armenia’s self determination and also caused Turkey and Azerbaijan to artificially be in possession of Armenia’s lands.
-The Soviet Union armed the Turks so they could both invade Armenia to prevent Armenia from becoming a self-sustaining and free nation.
We are such a lucky bunch, aren’t we?
Our will for honesty did us in.
I, you, we are Hai Tahd.
