Any way and arabic but the arminian version is n
top, I learnt this when I was only three, Now I am
14. I am born in Iraq, Baghdad,(Baghdad is the
capital of Iraq) I am also arminian, and turkish,
also part kurdistan where my dad is from. My whole
family is born as a middle eastern except my
younger brother wich was born in america. I of
course had the most strictest parents in the world,
YES ARABIANS ARE MORE STRICT THAN KOREAN! Also I
was not mad when I wrote that, I just wanted to
capitalize that. My dad and I both have green eyes,
my dads used to be brown, I had green eyes than I
has hazel and then mow It is turning teal, so both
me and my bad have TEAl eyes, our eyes change a
lot. My sisters is blue, and my mothers and
brothers are brown. My generation comes from
armenia, then because of the Arminian jenistite we
went to turkey, they say it was beautiful. Then we
went to iraq, we basically did have a lot of arabic
blood even when my ancestors were from Arminia they
were also Arabic, I am not the muslim type so I can
show my hair, I am christian from Orthodox Church.
