Christians of Anatolia | Greeks, Armenians, Assyrians | A Dance Medley
Ойын-сауық
The peninsula of Anatolia (modern Türkiye) has had a huge variety of civilizations, religions and ethnocultural tribes. In this video, I'm gathering the Christians of this peninsula, their dances and the historical regions.
Enjoy a dance medley of 8 Pontic Greek, 5 Armenian, 4 Assyrian, 2 Cappadocian Greek and 1 Smyrniote Greek dances. All in just 14 minutes! 🤍

PS: Shoutout to my friend Ruben and Pierre for the Armenian and Assyrian lyrics respectively! Also, I'm sorry that I couldn't write the lyrics of all the songs, but I couldn't find them or understand them all (especially the Assyrian ones). My apologies if I have spelling mistake in the Assyrian songs, I recently learned the alphabet, so I'm not proficient yet. For any correction or any suggestion in lyrics, feel free to comment below and I will correct or add them.
Thank you for watching!! I hope my message is clear enough. Did you enjoy the video? Did I add your favorite ones? See you in the next episode! Stay safe and stay tuned!

As an Ethiopia Orthodox Christian my hear breaks every time I see the atrocities committed against our brothers and sisters. I pray for the Lord to judge for the genocides that was committed against his children! 🙏 Thank you for sharing this video. I have lived in Turkey and it is very interesting to see, how the Greek, Armenian, and Assyrians cultur and music has impacted the country. Though the Turkish language is dominant, the music, culture, and the majority of the DNA has remained pre-turkic era. Much love! ❤️
I love all Serbs and Greeks and Armenians and I am proud to say I am Assyrian. Vasilis from the bottom of my heart, your work is the most important, and should be held high and as many more like you should tell our truth together in one hand. My grandfathers originate from Hakkari. You almost made me cry. I love yarkhushta and especially the pontic Greek style music. In Jesus christ name we will be brought together. ☦

As a Turk, I was born in Antep. There are still Armenian traces in many places, especially in historical buildings. When I lived there and looked at those historical buildings, I always tried to look at them from the perspective of an Armenian, not a Turk. The dances and music in the video are still used, even the words in the Cappadocian melodies are still exactly the same. It is very sad that you are away from the lands that are precious to you, but on the other hand, thank you for leaving this culture to us. I hope that one day we will be able to sing, play and enjoy these melodies here again. Thank you Vasilis

To be fair, Yarkhushta may've originated in Sassun and Mush, but it extended all throughout the Armenian Highlands all the way until Cappadocia
At 12:23, you see the 353,000, and that is the number of Pontian Greeks killed in the genocide. This is an incredibly beautiful and profound artistic homage to the precious Christians of Asia Minor -- so perfect, every detail, thank you. And to all watching, can you IMAGINE that these people groups lived in Asia Minor for millenia before the genocides of the early 20th century, when the Turks killed them and drove them out? Memory Eternal to each of the precious souls.

Greetings from Assyria my brothers and sisters! In the Anatolian peninsula history unfolds, Assyrians, Greeks, Armenians of old. Whispers of empires, tales untold, In the land where ancient stories hold. In melodies that span the ages wide, Assyrian echoes, a cultural tide. Greek rhythms dance with a timeless pride, Armenian tunes, where traditions abide. Zerna, duduk and Kaval is where it's at, Folk dance rhythms, as the story molds. In the pulse of rave, ancient meets bold, A dance of souls, in a trance, untold! (Shlama Ashuria)

Absolutely wonderful. Great dancing, creative video editing, and beautiful sentiment. Thank you for your work of art. - from a (Western) Armenian dance researcher, teacher, director (with Greek, Assyrian, and Turkish friends).

Magnificent choreography & composition; masculinity, femininity, artistic sensuality; a missed opportunity of unity for all 3 cultures in history in spite of significant contribution of each to world culture and heritage. Simply wow! Love to see more of the Assyrian song and dance, deserving to be presented to the world stage on silver plate!

Αξίζουν συγχαρητήρια σε αυτήν την προσπάθεια του Βασίλη Πετρόπουλου. Αναδεικνύει τους στενούς δεσμούς που έχουν αυτές οι τρείς εθνικές κοινότητες. Σίγουρα τους συνδέουν εκτός παό την θρησκεία και πολλά ακόμα πράγματα στην χιλιάδων χρόνων συμβίωση τους στα μέρη από όπου όχι μόνο εκδιώχθηκαν αλλά κυνηγήθηκαν και γενοκτονήθηκαν.Μπράβο για άλλη μια φορά Πέτρο.

Thank you so much. The first piece is Aysenur Kolivar singing the traditional song of hamshil Armenians of the Black Sea region. Remember her performing ages ago on the concert of Armenian folk songs - she is a wonderful singer. I really love the energy you show in these dances. Yarkushta is a very energetic dance, the dance of warriors.
I'm from Ordu (Κοτύωρα/Kotyora) and I resonated with all these beautiful dances from deep inside me. Especially with all the Pontic parts. Great job!
