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.

    I know people from North America who travel to Armenia, take day trips to Georgia via land and just get another visa at the border crossing. I think it's immediate too.

      Anybody who visits Armenia often should just get Permanent Residence Passport. 10 years, you can enter as you will, plus work rights and so on.

        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
        Deserted except for millions of mostly obnoxious and always pig-ignorant Kurds. What do you think is worse. Denialist Turks, or non-denialist Kurds who know exactly where Armenians once lived and what happened to them yet still gleefully smash up every Armenian gravestone they can lay their pickaxes on, and dig up every grave they can get their shovels into, or demolish into rubble any church site they know of?

        ALL Kurds participated in the Genocide. The Dersimli are not Kurds.

          It is a single entry exactly for that purpose. So that you need to buy repeated visas. Turkey only has multiple entry tourist visas, Georgia has a no visa regime for tourists. Armenia must see visa issuing as a good source of income, income that Georgia and Turkey don't seem to need to get (maybe because their very rich pay at least some taxes).

            Airports, train stations and ferry terminals usually charge entry/exit taxes though; and most people would travel there by air, ship or train rather than car. But I must admit the Armenian government must be making a killing out of processing visas, probably it keeps a few people in jobs rather than on the street. Edit: Usually western governments make a killing on processing passports i.e. $150 each, plus postage and extra processing fees.

              Map of the visa policy of Armenia. I find it retarded that citizens of Syria & Egypt have to get a visa prior to arrival while citizens of important countries such as Lesotho & Zimbabwe can just get a visa on arrival. Am I missing something?

                  Yeah this is so that EU liberalizes visa regime with Armenia. My only fear is that it would lead to excessive migration to Europe.

                    Hopefully the government has a plan to prevent that from happening. Its also a positive step towards making Armenia more tourist friendly. Despite the vast improvements over the past five years, the tourism industry in Armenia is still severely underdeveloped compared to our two neighbors, and especially relative to what we have to offer. Of course that partly stems from not having the necessary government funding sources to do so. Hopefully the industry continues to develop because we have so much to offer, and it could become such an integral part of our economy.

                      not a big difference from getting a easy visa at airport and getting your passport stamped right away. It's just like an extra 5 minutes
