Kostya Davidov, a resident of Armenia's Dimitrov village in Ararat
region, is an Assyrian but he does not differentiate himself from
Armenians.
Mr Davidov was born in Armenia and has lived in the country all his
life, but his six children went to a Russian school as there is not
an Armenian school in the village. Today they live in the Russian
federation with their families. Kostya Davidov often visits them in
Russia but is not going to settle there for permanent residence.
"You can eat and drink with Russians: they think you are obliged to
treat them. But if I treat an Armenian, the next day he will invite
me to his house and treat me in due order. This is the real friendship
and brotherhood," says Mr Davidov.
In the same way, he does not confide in the Eurasian Economic Union.
Kostya Davidov, who is married to an Armenian, says there little
difference in the traditions of the two nations. "The only difference
is that Armenians observe Easter celebrations in the evening while
Assyrians do it in the morning."
His wife, Mrs. Greta, tries her best to maintain the order and warmth
in the house. This year the family refused to heat their house with
natural gas as it proved too expensive for them. They are using
firewood instead.
