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.

      Forty Acres and One Mule ? This was the "reparation" to be granted to the new American citizens having been victim of US Slavery. This was not to be granted to the Africans or to the African States.

      So today, any protocole between Turkey and Armenia does not regard the 1915 Armenian Genocide. It regards diplomatic, economic relations, good neighberhood, etc, etc... but it can not regard anything to do with 1915 AG. All the more, there is the historical fact that we are the descendents of the survivors of Western Armenians who were subjects of the Ottoman Empire. Eastern Armenia had never been under Ottoman Rule. It had been in the Soviet Union, in the Russian Empire and at the beginning in the Persian Empire for more than 3 centuries.

      So if any American journalists or politicians say that, sure, Armenians of Diaspora should be happy with this recent "successfull" protocole between Armenia and Turkey, you can give this exemple of another crime against Humanity. Do you think they will understand ? Without being rude (let them mind their own business), at least they will not be Mr-Know-All.

      Meanwhile, we in the diaspora have no time to loose. We have to work to get more and more new allies. The African American community is one of them : http://www.anca.org/press_releases/p...t.php?prid=678

        I hope President Obama will succeed in his social and economical programms sothat he can have a second presidential term. Once he is reelected, he will work on these 3 major problems as he thinks :
        - Israel/Palestine
        - Iran
        - Armenian Genocide which is linked to these two ones.

        If good relations with Arab countries and Iran are settled, Turkey will count (very much) less.

        I pray President Obama will succeed and he will ! ...if they it does not happen as it happenned with JFK.

            He's no JFK but he's almost like a hybrid of JFK/MLK so I think what CRDA-France meant was "if something tragic doesn't happen to him".

                  Racism is inherent to man, but your racism doesn't change the fact that historically, we've been lower than "niggers", we were ottoman raya (cattle) that went to the slaughterhouse. It is better to be prepared for war so that we may never be (raya) again. Insulting blacks doesn't raise our integrity, nor our power.

                    Let me disagree with you. Turks have considered us as a cattle. But we never were cattle. That why we fought back. And what we do is exactly trying to prove to the world that we were not and we are not cattle. Comparing AG with slavery is proving exactly the contrary.

                      Of the 1.5 million who died, the majority were cattle who did not know how to fight. If you don't know how to fight, you are cattle, it doesn't matter where you live, what race you are or what sense of "moral honour" you extract from your religion.

                      If Antranik (one of the few of our leaders then who wasn't deluded by the brand of political secterianism and rivalry that made our resistence and diplomatic correspondence to Europe horribly ineffective) could only muster 200,000 Armenians out of the 2 million (10% of our pop in Turkey at the time) to fight back, there would have been no genocide, and there would not have been a Turkey today as we know it. Instead, he only had 6,000 Fedayeen, and so, Turkish Armenia was utterly annihilated. Then, the Turks inflated this small number into the 200,000 men we should've had, the 200,000 men who would've utterly meant a death sentence to Pan-Turkism right then and there, way before 1918.

                      We Armenians haven't changed so much since then, as only a minority of us realize this situation and know what must be done to protect our race effectively from future annihilation.
