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.

    Syrian Armenians > Echoes of the Armenian Genocide in the Syrian
    Press (1877-1930)



    AZAD-HYE, Dubai, 28 January 2006: More than a year ago we reported
    about a new book published in Arabic about the Armenian Genocide by
    known scholar Dr. Nora Arissian.

    "Echoes of the Armenian Genocide in the Syrian Press (1877-1930)"
    (published in November 2004 by "Al Zakira" Printing House, Lebanon),
    was one of the most important publications dedicated to the 90th
    anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. It was the result of the young
    author's incessant research in the Syrian archives, including the
    press (specifically the period 1877-1930), an important and almost
    unexplored source for Genocide documentation.

    Dubai based `Al Bayan' Arabic language daily in its 25th January 2006
    issue (`Book Supplement') has provided the Arab reader with a
    comprehensive introduction about the book.

    It is worth mentioning that Dr. Nora Arissian has visited Dubai and
    Abu Dhabi in April 2004, during which she lectured on the subject of
    the Armenian Genocide in front of the Armenian audience.

    Below is a summary of the book in English, followed with the text as
    appeared in the Arabic wide spread newspaper.

    The Syrians witnessed the Ottoman atrocities and the sufferings that
    befall on both the Armenian and the local Arab population. This fact
    had led the researcher to examine more than 30 Syrian political
    publications, collecting and analyzing relevant information.

    Many Syrian writers, journalists and columnists have found it
    imperative to describe those atrocious events, the last episodes of
    which occurred on Syrian itself (Der Ez-zor, Margada, Maskana and
    other places evoke awful feelings among the Armenians).

    This book is a logical continuation of another book by the same
    author published in the year 2002 and carried the title: "The
    atrocities of the Armenians in the Syrian mind. The position of the
    Syrian Intellectuals toward the Armenian genocide".

    The official Syrian periodicals of the time, such as "Al Asima",
    "Alef Baa" and "Al Muktabas" (all issued in the capital Damascus) had
    hosted hundred of articles concerning the Armenians: details of the
    massacres, the deportations and the eventual settlement in the main
    cities of the country.

    There are revealing articles describing how Armenians were tortured
    during their deportation trail to the Syrian wasteland. It is worth
    mentioning that the local Arab population protected the unlucky
    refugees and tried to save as many souls as they could, by offering
    shelter and means of survival.

    Dr. Arissian notes that the Syrian periodicals did not hesitate to
    name what was happening as "Genocide" (as early as 1916), besides
    other expressions such as "extermination", "uprooting of the race",
    "annihilation", etc.

    The main headings of the chapters:
    Introduction
    Part I
    The massacres of the Armenians in the Syrian periodicals (1877-1915)
    1- The Syrian periodicals and the Armenians
    2- The condition of the Armenians, their deportation and statistics
    3- The position of the Syrians toward the Armenians and the Turkism
    policy executed against them
    4- The echoes of the deportation and the massacres of the Armenians
    in the Syrian Diaspora press (Brazil and France)

    Part II
    The explanation of Armenian genocide in the Syrian periodicals
    (1915-1930)
    1- The ways of torture, the reasons and the results of the genocide
    2- Description of the Armenians deportation, massacres and statistic
    3- The massacres of the Armenians in the Syrian Diaspora press
    4- The settlement of the deported Armenians in Syria and the position
    of the Syrians toward them

    Other chapters: Conclusion, Bibliography of the articles, Texts of
    some articles, List of the studied Syrian periodicals
    "All truth passes through three stages:
    First, it is ridiculed;
    Second, it is violently opposed; and
    Third, it is accepted as self-evident."

    Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)
