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.

  • Armenia-Diaspora Relations: Initiatives by the Ministry of Diaspora

    Diasporan Armenian boys and girls to live in families of Armenia under "Ari Tun" program of Ministry of Diaspora

    Noyan Tapan
    Oct 24, 2008

    YEREVAN, OCTOBER 24, ARMENIANS TODAY - NOYAN TAPAN. Boys and girls aged
    15-25 who were born and brought up in the Diaspora will be invited to
    Armenia under "Ari Tun" ("Come Home") program of the RA Ministry of
    Diaspora. They will live in local Armenian families for 3-4 weeks, the
    RA Minister of Diaspora Hranush Hakobian told reporters on October 22.

    Ms Hakobian expressed conviction that after visiting Armenia for the
    first time, any Armenian from the Diaspora becomes very attached to
    homeland. "We should help Diasporan Armenian children grow up as
    Armenians because any young person who set foot on Armenian land,
    looked at Masis from Khor Virap, washed hands in Lake Sevan and bent
    down at the Memorial Complex of the Armenian Genocide Victims will
    grow up as an Armenian," she underlined.

    The program's success, according to her, depends very much on the good
    will of Armenians from both the Diaspora and Armenia. "Armenians living
    in the Diaspora should express a willingness to send their children
    here, while those in homeland should meet them with pleasure," the
    minister said.

    In the minister's words, before launching the program, they must become
    acquainted with the living conditions of the families to receive the
    children, after which they will decide the further steps. She said
    that the host families will take care of children, while the ministry
    will organize trips and meetings for them under the program.

    She noted that at the start of the program, families from Yerevan and
    nearby marzes (Kotayk, Aragatsotn, Ararat and Armavir) will receive
    Diasporan children but later other marzes (provinces) will be also
    involved in the program. The ministry envisages inviting 1,000 children
    to Armenia at the first stage.

    It was mentioned that families that want Diasporan Armenian children
    to stay with them shall apply to municipalities of their cities or
    regions in order to be put on the list of the program. H. Hakobian
    has already held meetings with regional governors with the aim of
    discussing the details of "Ari Tun" program.
