A
word in the
Armenian language which means

This word has a lot of significance when applied to marriage. It's
often used when referring to a marriage between an Armenian and
non-Armenian. In this context, the word itself does not have any
negative connotation, but the interracial marriage itself can be
viewed differently within the community. Reactions can vary from
rejection to tolerance to complete acceptance.
