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.

    AZG DAILY #73, 23-04-2009

    Armenian Genocide Update: 2009-04-23 01:07:15 (GMT +04:00)


    A SYMPOSIUM WILL BE HELD IN MEMORY OF MARIA JACOBSEN TO COMMEMORATE THE 94TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

    Friday 24th April 2009 from 16.30 - 19.00 at: Pensionhighschool Fredericiagade 84, 1. CopenhagenThe Committee will mark the memory of two Danish missionaries: Miss Maria Jacobsen [1982-1960] and Miss Karen Jeppe [1876-1935] Maria Jacobsens wrote a diary during the time she worked as a nurse in the American hospital in Harpoot [Kharpert] covering the period between 1907-1919. She later moved to the new Annie Tracy Riggs Hospital which opened in Mezreh, located at Villayet Mamurat-Ul-Aziz in former Ottoman Empires, Turkey.

    Over decades K.M.A [Woman's Missionary Workers] has raised thousands of kronerīs and sent dozens of missionaries for Armenian relief. Maria Jacobsen, who stayed at her post during the Armenian Genocide, recorded her own eyewitness account on local conditions while the Ottoman government carried out its programme of annihilating the Armenians under the cover of World War I.

    Until recently the original diary was available only in facsimile form attached to the Armenian version, translated, edited and introduced in 1979 by Nerses Pakhdikian and Mihran Simonian

    The committee has made a fair copy of the diary. The manuscript is almost finished; it has been edited from old Danish to modern Danish and ready to be published in a digitized format. The Committee, therefore, is holding a symposium to introduce a Limited Edition of the diary to the general public. The book which contains an introduction, some articles of lightning accessories and annotation, is to be published in September 2009.
    "All truth passes through three stages:
    First, it is ridiculed;
    Second, it is violently opposed; and
    Third, it is accepted as self-evident."
