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.

    Yeah it varies slightly. I was there the first three weeks of June this year and there wasn't much even when we were leaving. But when you book your flight you generally don't know at the time whether when exactly they will be ripe. If your trip extends into July anyway, then it's not an issue anyway, but if one has their heart set on eating yummy stone fruit that's not imported, it's better to go in July.

      I'm not trying to start trouble. I'm not psychotic . I think I'm somewhat quiet and contemplative and a little to friendly. Am constantly needing to remind myself that other peoples motives are neither forthright or appearant. This Internet thing is totally new to me. My join date on this site is my Internet start(approx 6 mo).
      I've seen Armenians over the internet(video) who have gone to ?turky? And the went to find their roots. They conducted themselves with decency and they reminded me of the people that raised me.
      If I went their I would either end up in a one of the simi hominoid prisons or make a successful escape after I took out the first mouthy high stepping lier. I know discretion is the better part of valor, so I avoid places where saying the truth is against the law. I can't stand being around phony lying vain --- I can't stand being around simi hominoids.

              Also I missed the question about Turkey initially. I don't think it two weeks would be enough time to go to Artsakh, Georgia, and turkey. I think 2 weeks is barely enough to visit things in RA and you'll already have to pick and choose.
              Yeah I just re-read what I wrote and should have been more clear. I meant to ask if 2 weeks was enough for just Armenia, but I guess I got your answer on that either way.


              Artashes, I understand where you are coming from, but I feel like I would be able to remain composed. You have to remember that even if many Turkish civillians agree with us on the genocide, they cannot say anything without being punished by the Turkish government.

              Also the areas of Ani and Ararat are mostly deserted anyways, so it's not like I'd be running into many denialist Turks. Most of the people who do live around those areas are Kurds anyways, not Turks, and while some Kurds participated in the genocide, many Kurds today have apologized, and seek to be friends with us in order to help their plight against the Turks. So i think I will be fine

                Kurds are just as bad as Turks, just more illiterate. Kurds will of course want to be "friends" with us because they are being oppressed by Turks. Of course, when we were being oppressed by Turks, they enthusiastically helped the Turks. So I don't see why we should give a rat's a** about the Kurds and view them in a positive light. Let Turks and Kurds just kill each other.

                  Seek to be friends with us in order to help their plight against the turks. Yes I agree with you on that as their reson for seeking our friendship. To bad it's not because they sincerely like us. They seem to have no problem living on our stolen land but rather seem quite happy to do so and were rather eager to do so while watching our family be murdered and the remaining family members marched off to their death and exile.
                  That's some basis for friendship . If I'm not mistaken a number of them are living in houses right now that we're built by honest, industrious Armenians who were decent people. Also their claim to ancestry in our ancient lands does not meet the requirement of --- TRUTH ---.

                      You should be okay immediately. I got back a month ago, and while I was there I had friends on single entry visas who went to georgia or greece for a few days, and they just got another visa when reentering the country.
