Book Review by Dr. Minas Kojayan
Stepan Partamian
The Armenian in America
Los Angeles: Armenian Arts Fund, 2012
When we speak or write about Stepan Partamian, one of our community’s most intriguing figures, we must not balk from using adjectives such as “unique,” “uncommon,” “singular,” or “strange,” since all are apt descriptions of his character and accomplishments—as an art activist, a television host, and, especially, a researcher. A case in point is his latest seri

Stepan Partamian is a true two faced character like Dr.Jekkyl and Mr.Hyde. He is a Dr.Jekkyl on the East Coast with his positive book but on his TV show in Los Angeles, he was a different animal making fun of non Western Armenians such as Persian-Armenians. On his TV show, he said that Armenians lack brains and intelligence. He said horrible insults to callers who he disagreed with his TV show. He even espoused atheist views making fun of God. This guy really is Dr.Jekkyl and Mr. Hyde.
There is a big difference between political incorrectness and insanity. On one of his shows,he disagreed with a caller and he called her a prostitute. Is that appropriate language ???? He defends Kim Kardashian and the half-Armenian pornographic actress Christie Canyon stating that we should be proud of them. Those perverted values are not my values. He insults different Armenian groups and this only divides instead of uniting. There is enough division already. We don’t need a brain-damaged person like Stepan Partamian to talk about Armenians. The only thing that he did say that was correct was that Russian-Armenians don’t respect getting an education and they don’t take advantage of the opportunities to make something of themselves .
Stepan Partamian is someone I really appreciate. Actually he’s someone who awakens people’s consciences.
To appreciate him, it’s important not to be instinctive in your reaction when you listen to him, just take a step back and analyze what he’s saying, you’ll see that you will finally enjoy listening to what he has to say and share with us, try to understand his deep thoughts and you will appreciate him too.
