HEY CHILDREN! I ASKED A VERY SIMPLE QUESTION! BOTH TURKS AND ARMENIANS NO NEED TO FIGHT OVER THIS QUESTION NOW!

Dear Selin.
After reading all the responses I came to a conclusion that you did not get the right answer from most of them.
I am Armenian. Armenians and Turks were living together and their families were bonded by Armenians marrying Turks. After the Armenian Genocide their families were ruined. Most genocide survivors had Turkish relatives who saved them.
In your situation its different, because long time has passed. The relationship depends on you and him ONLY. If you guys come to an understanding and accept the past then it should be OK. The reason that he might reject you is that Turkey does not accept responsibility and incites hate among the general population and fanatic nationalism in Turkey and in Armenia as well.
There is an 80% chance that he is a descendant of genocide survivor. I am sure you both have a lot in common because of the cultures. Good Luck.

Wow, racism is flying from all sides. I'm neither Turkish nor Armenian, so I'll try to answer this question without resorting to racism, insults, or generalizations.
You and this boy are both in the U.S. It seems to me that this makes it far more likely that you would not be as deeply affected by racist tendencies as some of the people who have answered so far. Do you have a Turkish name? If so, maybe he already knows you're Turkish, and since he supposedly likes you, maybe he doesn't care. Also, since you're okay with him being Armenian, why don't you just try talking to him about it and asking him what he thinks about you being Turkish? You're a shining example of the fact that it is possible for people of ethnic backgrounds that have been embroiled in ethnic conflict to overcome those conflicts and see people as individuals. You didn't consciously choose to be Turkish any more than he consciously chose to be Armenian. Now you're both here in the U.S., supposedly the land of equal opportunity and civil rights for all, and you're at the same school, and you seem to like each other. Why not just try it out? Talk to him and see. As for what his family might think (and even what your family might think), cross that bridge when you come to it. If you really love each other, it won't matter what your families think, and eventually your families will learn to accept your decision.
If he really likes you, as someone else on here already said, he won't mind that you're Turkish. If it's a dealbreaker for him, then why would you want to be with a person like that anyway? Don't give up on him because you think he might not like you. Talk to him first.

You say it doesn't matter for you if he is Armenian, but the fact that the issue of origin ever came into question means something. Maybe you have a stereotype about Armenians.
If you really like him, just try to look at him as the person he is. The fact that you are Turkish and he is Armenian should not matter for both of you.
So, try to get rid of your own preconceptions and go for it!
No one can tell what will really happen ....

Selin young lady, I have a question for you too. Well, more than one question :)
Are you and him in Turkey? How old are you both? Is this a 'puppy love' or the real thing?
Anyway, if he rejects you just because you are Turkish, then he is not worthy of your love. True love knows no boundaries. I just wonder what nationality and religion (color too) were Adam and Eve! Do you think that Adam asked Eve if she was Armenian or Greek or Japanese or African?
Ah so you are in the US. That does make a difference. People can act more freely over there, unless of course he was raised with a hatred for Turks. In that case you have no chance. Just forget about it. There will be other guys. But if he has a democratic, liberal mind then both of you have a good chance of being together happily. Good luck young lady :)

ok artistic... you can't say that, cuz the whole world know s that turks did what we are sayin, and no one has the strength to tell the truth, becaouse USA was a part of it that's why they don't do anything. almost the whole Europe Recognized the Armenian Genocide. we don;t care what people in Turkey teach their children about the Armenian genocide, They tell them that Armenians did that to them for sure.
Just open your eyes, why would we yell to the whole world to recognize it if it didn't happen. we wouldn't have anything agains turks if they didn't kill 1,5000000 armenians.
honey what goes to your question, I don;t think you have a chance, maybe he thought that you'r armenian cuz turks sometimes look like armenians, but when he knows, he'll run away and find a true armenian girl for sure. sorry to say that. I don;t have anything against you, but that's how it is.

Tell you're Turkish. But I am 100% sure that he'll no longer speak to you. My advice is find a green-eyed, olive skinned hot Turk and forget the curly haired Armenian. Is it too insensitive to advise this? Maybe so, maybe not.
OK, addition to this:
As you can see from some posts of the Armenians Selin, you have no chance sister:) Really, find someone else since he is an Armenians I don't think he is irresistible or heavenly handsome. I was(maybe 'am') in love with a Greek here in UK he had no problem with my origin and neither I did with his. But Armenians are very,very racist. Think going out with that guy -if you can-, he'll always speak of the so-called genocide or in your first fight he'll call you a 'bloody Turk'

Lol i am the most fanatical Armenian in the world and i am not afraid to admit it. Know this, we Armenians are very caring and understanding. If you treat us with respect we will treat you with respect. As for this boy, if he likes you and you like him your race will not bother him, but you have to watch what you say and what your parents say to him. And you best be prepared to accept the Armenian way of thinking, because in an Armenian family, the male is king

Take your chance and tell him the truth.if he really loves you ,that shouldn't a problem.if he makes trouble,you deserve a better bf than him ;-)
if he changes his mind when he heards that you are Turkish; don't worry.Never go out with a racist armenian!
PS to vaheh_2006: Naeem Beig is not even a Turkish name,you are lying again and again!!

I think you'll be fine together!
He sounds lovely. You sound lovely.
So, just go for it and see what happens?
If you're living in the US then the chances are that you're both fairly open minded to racism issues.
So, my advice go and talk to him, get his number, go out and have some fun. x
