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.

    Zeev Elkin: it is high time to stop pleasing Turkey and recognize Armenian Genocide
    May 19, 2011 - 16:14 AMT
    PanARMENIAN.Net - Knesset member, Likud party chairman Zeev Elkin supported the Armenian Genocide recognition by Israel.
    In his address to the Israeli parliament, Elkin said that the xxxish state, which reverently treats the memory of the Holocaust victims and demands other countries’ respectful attitude towards it, has no moral right to ignore the tragedy of the Armenian people.
    “The Israeli state, which demands worldwide recognition of the historical justice and observance of moral norms, cannot act contrary to these urges, being guided by narrow political ideas. It is high time to stop pleasing Turkey and eventually recognize the Armenian Genocide. The xxxish state should have been among the first ones to declare its official recognition,” IzRus portal quoted Elkin as saying.
    A vote for transferring the issue of Armenian Genocide recognition to the committee of Education, Culture and Sports headed by Alex Miller was held in Knesset, with the initiative unilaterally approved on May 18.
    The initiative was advanced by a member of the Knesset for Meretz Zahava Gal-On who replaced the head of the party, main lobbyist of Armenia Haim Oron.

        Israeli parliamentary committee accepts demand to discuss Armenian Genocide


        May 20, 2011 | 10:03

        The Committee on Education, Culture and Sports of the Israeli Knesset accepted the demand to discuss the Armenian Genocide recognition in the parliament.

        “Meretz” party submitted the issue for discussion in the committee, Turkish TRT reports. “Likud” party, led by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also supported the initiative. The demand to discuss the recognition of the Armenian Genocide was adopted by majority vote.

        All the participants at the meeting of the Knesset, including the Speaker of Parliament, spoke for the discussion of the Armenian Genocide. They also noted that relations between Israel and Turkey cannot become a reason for non-recognition of the Armenian Genocide.

                      It is our moral obligation to recognize Armenian Genocide – Israeli MP




                      May 22, 2011 | 00:40
                      Israel’s Knesset member Zahava Gal-On believes it is Israel’s obligation to recognize the Armenian Genocide.

                      Member of left wing New Movement Meretz party commented for Armenian News-NEWS.am on decision to discuss the Armenian Genocide. She noted that this year’s debates are important as they are held in open Committee on Education, Culture and Sports.

                      “In the last two years Knesset decided to hold discussion of the Armenian Genocide issue in one of the committees but they never discussed in the education committee which is open. We can invite many people to participate in the discussion. It is very important from this viewpoint,” she said.

                      Speaking of the timing of this decision, Gal-On stressed every year representatives of Meretz party raise the issue on the Armenian Genocide in the parliament. This time Israeli government and foreign ministry, due to the issues with the Turkish government, were more flexible on the issue, she assumed.

                      The MP expressed hope Israel will recognize the Armenian Genocide and that decision “will open new relations between the countries.”

                      “It is our moral obligation but it is really hard to estimate what will happen,” she concluded.

                      The Committee on Education, Culture and Sports of the Israeli Knesset accepted the demand to discuss the Armenian Genocide recognition in the parliament. Meretz party submitted the issue for discussion in the committee. The demand to discuss the recognition of the Armenian Genocide was adopted by majority vote.
