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.

    Akin delays Turkish film on murdered Armenian journalist


    Turkish-German film director Fatih Akin says a film he wants to make
    about the murdered Armenian journalist Hrant Dink remains on ice
    because no Turkish actor was ready to play the lead role. Dink was
    shot dead in 2007.

    Akin, who has collected a string of German and European cinema awards
    over 2 decades, told Saturday's edition of the Turkish-Armenian weekly
    Agos on Saturday that the risks for Turkish actors were still too high
    and so he had put the project "in the freezer."

    Dink was shot dead by a teenage Turkish ultranationalist on a busy
    Istanbul street in 2007, outside the offices of Agos.

    The 52-year-old Dink had campaigned for reconciliation between Turks
    and Armenians, who say that up to 1.5 million people were killed in
    1915, during World War I, as the Ottoman Empire fell apart.

    Turkey has long denied that the deaths amounted to a massacre,
    although in April Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan spoke of "our
    shared pain."

    Script 'too strong'

    Akin said he had drafted a very text-rich script based on 12 of Dink's
    articles published in Agos.

    Hrant Dink was shot in broad daylight in Istanbul

    "However, I couldn't convince any actor from Turkey to accept the role
    of Hrant [Dink]; they all found the script too strong," Akin said.

    "I didn't want to put any actor at risk, but it was also important
    that a film about Hrant would be a Turkish film," he added. "An
    American or French actor couldn't have been cast as Hrant. We have to
    deal with this alone."

    Different entry at Venice festival

    Akin said instead he combined parts of the Dink script to complete a
    different film, "The Cut," which will premier at Italy's Venice
    International Film Festival later this month.

    "The Cut," starring French actor Tahar Rahim, tells the story of an
    Armenian man who survives the 1915 killings and embarks on a journey
    across the world to find his daughter.

    Dink's assassination drew international attention and grew into a
    wider scandal with accusations of a Turkish state conspiracy.

    At his funeral, an estimated 200,000 people marched, chanting "We are
    all Armenians."

    In February this year, the New York-based Committee to Protect
    Journalists ranked Turkey as the world's leading jailer of
    journalists.
