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.

      Yes, probably if AKP would lose its majority one day, that would be because of the economy politics. Many of the people find them too much liberal -capitalist-.

        U.S. and Russia detail their roles in Armenia-Turkey deal



        Reports by U.S. and Russian officials played up their respective interventions as decisive in getting Armenia and Turkey to sign the protocols on bilateral relations.

        The October 10 signing in Zurich, Switzerland, of the protocols, which require parliamentary ratification to take effect, was delayed by several hours after Armenian and Turkish foreign ministers Edward Nalbandian and Ahmet Davutoglu took issue with each other's proposed post-signing statements.

        En route from Zurich to London later that night, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton revealed that she and Assistant Secretary for Europe Phil Gordon "have been dealing with [Armenia-Turkey issues] for months."

        The United States initially had claimed no public role, with Switzerland serving as the formal mediator.

        Mrs. Clinton said she was on the phone with the Armenian and Turkish foreign ministers "to get everybody in the same place." She also talked to President Barack Obama "several times."

        "So that's when I went in and spent time talking through some of the concerns that had been expressed, and brought Minister Nalbandian with us back to the university," with other senior officials arriving there for the delayed signing ceremony.

        Meanwhile, citing an unnamed source in "one of the delegations," the Russian daily Kommersant gave credit for "saving the day" to Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

        "While Secretary Clinton was trying to convince the sides to avoid a scandal, Lavrov, [European Union foreign affairs commissioner] Javier Solana, French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner, and Slovenian Foreign Minister [present on behalf of Council of Europe] Samuel Zbogar were watching the Russia-Germany soccer game."

        When the game was over, the Armenian and Turkish foreign ministers were presented with an ultimatum and a deadline to sign, Kommersant claimed.

        "At that moment Mr. Lavrov wrote a short note to Mr. Nalbandian. It had six words ‘Edward! Agree to ceremony without statements,'" Kommersant's source reported. "The note was also co-signed by Kouchner, Solana, and Zbogar."

        The signing ceremony went ahead in silence, concluding with hugs, kisses, and no comments.

        Turkish leaders have since said they did not expect ratification any time soon. Mrs. Clinton acknowledged that ratification is "going to be difficult."

        "There is a lot of very difficult, complex issues that have to continually be discussed and worked out," she said following the signing. "The Armenians, as we saw with President [Serge] Sargsian's tour, have people around the world with strong feelings."

          And let me read between the lines.

          This whole protocol is being orchestrated in such a manner that at the right time Turkey will acknowledge the genocide but not before it covers itself regarding any liability.

          The first stage will be secured by guaranteed borders (via acceptance the various treaties).

          So Turkey will get the clear bill of health from the civilized countries. All our losses will be deemed unrecoverable ( already hinted by SS).

          The game already is being played regarding Karabagh.

          Politics is not about the pursuit of morality nor what's right or wrong
          Its about self interest at personal and national level often at odds with the above.
          Great politicians pursue the National interest and small politicians personal interests

            I been telling you guys not to blame the leaders of Armenia because it is not their call and this proves it

            Armenia is no more independent then Michigan. The sooner one understands this the sooner everything will make sence.
