Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    BUSH AGAIN FAILS 2 HONOR PLEDGE; 2 RECOGNIZE ARMENIAN.......

    PRESIDENT BUSH AGAIN FAILS TO HONOR
    PLEDGE TO RECOGNIZE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

    WASHINGTON, DC - Despite having heard in recent weeks from over 168
    U.S. Representatives who had urged him to recognize the Armenian
    Genocide as a "genocide," George W. Bush today, in his third April
    24th statement as President, again broke his February 2000 campaign
    pledge to properly recognize the Armenian Genocide, reported the
    Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA).

    In a statement issued today, on April 24th, the annual day of
    remembrance for the Armenian Genocide, the President again resorted
    to the use of evasive and euphemistic terminology to obscure the
    reality of Turkey's Genocide against the Armenian people.

    The statement also sought to resurrect the Turkish Armenian
    Reconciliation Commission (TARC,) the failed State Department
    funded initiative devised to derail progress toward international
    recognition of the Armenian Genocide. The effort was universally
    rejected by Armenians in the U.S., Armenia and around the world.

    "Sadly, today again we witnessed the continuation of this
    Administration's policy of complicity in the Turkish Government's
    denial the Armenian Genocide," said ANCA Chairman Kenneth
    Hachikian. "While we appreciate the President taking the time to
    offer remarks on this solemn occasion, we remain - as a community
    and a people - deeply disappointed by his failure to speak openly
    and honestly about the Armenian Genocide."

    "We find it offensive that the President would use this most solemn
    of occasions for the Armenian American community to attempt to
    revive the Turkish Armenian Reconciliation Commission - a failed
    initiative strenuously denounced by all facets of our community."

    The text of the President's remarks are provided below.

    Armenian Americans are encouraged to voice their thoughts to
    President Bush regarding his statement by sending an ANCA WebFax to
    the President by visiting www.anca.org

    Washington

    April 24, 2003

    Today marks the anniversary of a horrible tragedy, the mass
    killings and forced exile of countless Armenians in the final days
    of the Ottoman Empire. Many Armenians refer to these appalling
    events as the "great calamity," reflecting a deep sorrow that
    continues to haunt them and their neighbors, the Turkish people.
    The suffering that befell the Armenian people in 1915 is a tragedy
    for all humanity, which the world should not forget. I join the
    Armenian-American community and Armenians around the world in
    morning the horrendous loss of life.

    I also salute our wise and bold friends from Armenia and Turkey who
    are coming together in a spirit of reconciliation to consider these
    events and their significance. I applaud them for rising above
    bitterness, and taking action to create a better future. I wish
    them success, building on their recent and significant
    achievements, as they work together in a spirit of hope and
    understanding.

    As we remember those who perished and suffered, we salute the
    nation of Armenia, and Armenians everywhere. The United States is
    grateful for the contributions of Armenian Americans to our
    national life. Generations of Armenians have employed wisdom,
    courage, and centuries-old traditions to overcome great suffering
    and enrich their adopted American homeland.

    The United States is proud to be a friend of Armenia, a young state
    with an ancient heritage. We are deepening our partnership to help
    achieve a secure, prosperous, and dignified future for the citizens
    of Armenia. The United States is committed to achieving a just and
    lasting settlement to the Nagarno-Karabakh conflict. We will also
    continue to help Armenia as it strives to strengthen its democracy
    and market economy.

    On behalf of the American people, I send solemn wishes to the
    Armenian people on this day of remembrance. Our nations stand
    together, determined to create a future of peace, prosperity, and
    freedom for the citizens of our countries, for our regions, and for
    the world.

    George W. Bush

    This was to be expected.

    Being an ally of Turkey, and under fear of the Holocaust Inc. group, what else will Bush do?

    It should also be known that Bush is merely a puppet, a front man for the true wielders of power.

          It becomes more scary when one takes into consideration Bush not even knowing that he's a puppet, or at least vigorously refusing to accept it. Coming back to the good old similes, its like searching in a dark black room for a cat that is not there...

            Matrix, is my favorite, because it is so indicative of how society really is.

            Oh well, I remember a while back I read this whole article about the Matrix in the movie, in a comparison to our reality, our versions of 'truth', etc.

            Damn I can't find the URL.

                Sasson, you hit the nail on the head. Armenia unfortunetly has nothing which America can benefit from, therefore, recognizing the genocide would be worthless to this country. That is economically, and politcally speaking. The holocaust is totally over rated. I do believe that the holocaust was horrible, but xxxx...Im over it. I hear it every year. These damn jews take the attention away from other atrocities besides the armenian genocide. They take attention away from the congolese genocide, and others which I cant remember off hand.

                Why do you think that the US stopped Turkey from invading Kuwait. If you think its because the rulers are nice people, you are wrong. They did this only because turkey did not let us use their boarders during the war. Thank God for the people of Kuwait that they didnt, or another genocide would have gone unnoticed. It was only publicized as a way for us to get back.

                While the denial of the genocide is not good morally speaking, or ethically speaking, it is good for the interest of this country. I regret to say that but it is true. We live the way we do partly because of the advantage that is presented by remaining allie with turkey and constantly denying the genocide.

                I wonder if Kaloogian is doing anything. I dont know, does anyone know if Kaloogian has done anything to advanc the recognition of the genocide?

                  Every president has mailed those, "I will recognize the genocide" pamphlets out. Too bad we are willing to vote for who ever gets them to us first.
