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.

    The Key Distortions and Falsehoods in the Denial of the Armenian Genocide 10

    About Genocide Denial,
    by Deborah Lipstadt, Dorot Professor of Modern Jewish Studies at Emory University, a statement from Concerned Writers and Scholars


    About the moral issue of genocide denial, the country's leading scholar on Holocaust and genocide denial, Deborah Lipstadt, Dorot Professor of Modern Jewish Studies at Emory University, has written in conjunction with a dozen other leading genocide scholars and intellectuals:
    Denial of genocide--whether that of the Turks against Armenians or the Nazis against Jews--is not an act of historical reinterpretation. Rather, it sows confusion by appearing to be engaged in a genuine scholarly effort. Those who deny genocide always dismiss the abundance of documents and testimony as contrived or coerced, or as forgeries and falsehoods. Free speech does not guarantee the deniers the right to be treated as the "other" side of a legitimate debate when there is no credible "other side;" nor does it guarantee the deniers space in the classroom or curriculum, or in any other forum.

    Genocide denial is an insidious form of intellectual and moral degradation and a violation of what a university represents.
    Denial of genocide strives to reshape history in order to demonize the victims and rehabilitate the perpetrators. Denial of genocide is the final stage of genocide; it is what Elie Wiesel has called a "double killing." Denial murders the dignity of the survivors and seeks to destroy the remembrance of the crime.

    The Armenian Genocide Resolution Unanimously Passed By The Association of Genocide Scholars of North America
    The Armenian Genocide Resolution was unanimously passed at the Association of Genocide Scholars' conference in Montreal on June 13, 1997.


    Resolution

    That this assembly of the Association of Genocide Scholars in its conference held in Montreal, June 11-13, 1997, reaffirms that the mass murder of over a million Armenians in Turkey in 1915 is a case of genocide which conforms to the statutes of the United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide. It further condemns the denial of the Armenian Genocide by the Turkish government and its official and unofficial agents and supporters.
    Among the prominent scholars who supported the resolution were: Roger W. Smith (College of William & Mary; President of AGS); Israel Charny (Hebrew University, Jerusalem); Helen Fein, Past President AGS); Frank Chalk (Concordia University, Montreal); Ben Kiernan (Yale University); Anthony Oberschall (University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill); Mark Levene (Warwick University, UK); Rhoda Howard (McMaster University, Canada), Michael Freeman (Essex University, UK), Gunnar Heinsohn (Bremen University, Germany)
    The Association of Genocide scholars is an international, inter-disciplinary, non-partisan organization dedicated to the understanding and prevention of Genocide. The Association is an affiliate of The Institute For the Study of Genocide, New York, Dr. Helen Fein, Executive Director.
    Four things denialist Turks do when they are confronted with facts:

    I. They change the subject [SIZE="1"](e.g. they copy/paste tons of garbage to divert attention).[/SIZE]
    II. They project [SIZE="1"](e.g. they replace "Turk" with "Armenian" and vice versa and they regurgitate Armenian history).[/SIZE]
    III. They offend [SIZE="1"](e.g. they cuss, threaten and/or mock).[/SIZE]
    IV. They shut up and say nothing.

          Azeris' true origin

          We should always talk about Azeris' real origin.
          They say that Nizami is azeri writer but he never wrote anything in azeri because in his time there was no azeri. He was Persian.
          Azeris came to the place they call now azerbaijan from Kazakhstan and their Turkic language gives them out.
          So we just need to prove the truth and azeris need to prove their lies. The latter one is impossible.

            Yes over 1.5 million Armenian, mostly women, chidren and elderly rose up in revolt against the peaceful Turks. If you truly believe this than what you are saying is that you do not believe in your own people's martial/military capabilities.

              I suggest that the moderator promote it to a sticky if possible, otherwise please add a link to this article under the forum rules for the denialists to read before bringing their regurgitated garbage to this website.
              I think you'll find that the Armenian Claim's have finally 'awoken a giant' ..the broader Turkish communities are getting tired of the allegations and we will now witness a solid debate on this matter going forward. Evidence will be demanded and vigorously tested. The results should be interesting.

                I think it is time for this clown to go

                A giant? Remember my friend no matter how hard your "giant" tries, no matter what kind of lies it tells, no matter how much money it spends to silence us, the TRUTH will always come out, remember that!

                As for your Turkish community, of which the whole Europe is fed up with (I hear more and more stories how Turks rape, kill, rob people there), so keep doing that and you will succeed

                    Double rapist jailed for 14 years

                    Haci Tasan would grab his victims by the throat
                    A man convicted of raping a teenager and a 64-year-old grandmother has been sentenced to 14 years in jail.
                    Haci Tasan, 32, a Turkish asylum seeker of no fixed address, first struck in April 2003 as his elder victim walked to work in Edmonton, north London.

                    Eight months later he targeted a 19-year-old woman in the same area as she walked home from work, in what the judge called "a campaign of rape".

                    Tasan had admitted five counts of rape at Harrow Crown Court in September.

                    'Appalling offences'

                    He admitted two counts of rape and indecent assault against the 64-year-old on 4 April, 2004, in Langhedge Lane, Edmonton.

                    And he also admitted three counts of rape against the 19-year-old woman on 23 December, 2004, in Fore Street, Edmonton.

                    Tasan had been living in a local authority flat less than half a mile away from where the attacks took place.

                    The two women involved were incredibly brave and continue to recover from their terrible ordeal

                    Det Insp Lloyd Gardner

                    He was sentenced to 14 years for each of the five counts of rape, and five years for the indecent assault - the sentences are to be served concurrently.

                    "The circumstances of these attacks clearly demonstrate you had begun a campaign of rape that would not stop unless you were identified," said Judge Susan Tapping.

                    "You have committed the most serious and appalling offences."

                    After the first attack officers made several appeals for information, including an appeal on the BBC's Crimewatch UK, and also offered a £10,000 Crimestoppers reward for further information.

                    They became aware that Tasan had fled to Switzerland without any documentation, and with the help of Swiss authorities were able to bring home back to the UK.

                    'Fear in community'

                    Det Insp Lloyd Gardner, who led the investigation for Operation Sapphire at Winchmore Hill police station, said he had no doubt Tasan "would have gone on to attack using even more violence had he not been caught".

                    "Haci Tasan generated fear within the local community following these horrific attacks," he said.

                    "The two women involved were incredibly brave and continue to recover from their terrible ordeal."

                    In the second attack, Tasan had grabbed his victim by the throat, dragged her into a service road behind a row of shops and assaulted her.

                    Her ordeal lasted for 30 minutes until she managed to escape and raise the alarm.

                      You just insist on proving me.

                      Your post can just be a response to the claim "There's no rapist among Turks". You insist on failing logic, that just because of your bias and hatred. I dont know you in person but the failure in logic can only stem out of hatred nothing else. Well you guys explain yourselves better than I am.
