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.

    There is no way we would be able to control the area, many of the inhabitants are Turks, Azeris, or Kurds. No Armenians there, no support in the area for the state, and no way to put Armenians there again without committing genocide.




    How do you suggest we preserve our cultural monuments, churches, and areas? Invade Turkey and have Bob The Builder restore everything? Turkey will not recognize the genocide, without immense international pressure, thats obvious. They really do not have to recognize the genocide, we can have a third party with the goal of preserving historical sites, set up an organization made to save those areas. Other than that, there really is no other way to guarantee the safety of what is left of our presence in the area.



    And, how do you suggest we stop them, without cooperating with them like civilized human beings?

    Van has a population of around 1 million people, Kars, 300,000. Not a single one is probably an Armenian, who speaks Armenian.

    The Armenian state, is the Republic and Artsakh. Thats that. We are a small, densely populated nation, with little political and military power. How, in the name of fxxk, would we be able to 'regain' control of those lands? They no longer belong to us, they were stolen from us or given away. Receiving Ararat as a reparation, just the mountain, would be a blessing. "Igdir", well, it might actually be realistic, but you would see a mass migration of the population from the new territory to Turkey or you would see a brand new and very large Turk minority in Armenia.

    Armenia's future is in the East, and Ararat as a reparation is not insane, and has been a realistic proposal



    I never said we should forget and let go of what was ours, having a joint Armenian-Turkish commission with a goal of preservation and restoration is a way of keeping what was once ours. It doesn't have to be because of the genocide, it could be just for the sake of preserving and recording human history.



    Artashes, I am glad you are not a politician. If you were, Armenia would be in deep trouble with the UN and Human Rights Watch
    There is no reason to believe demographics won't change. We need to be able to not see things in the static. Look at what is currently happening in Syria, in Iraq in recent years. Lebanon was a Christian majority country at independence in 1943. At the moment of the recognition of Israel in 1948, half of the population in the designated j3wish section (modern israel) of the Palestine Mandate were Arabs. They were simply expelled during the mayham.


    All of this is some idealistic scenario that may not even occur in our lifetime. The important part is being ready when the moment is there. And do I have any reservations about the expulsion of the people currently inhabiting Moosh, Taron, and Sassoun if they chose to not be royal to an Armenian nation? the same people who raped and murdered our people who had inhabited that land for 3,000 years? The same people who took little girls and turned them into their xxxxxs? who took little boys from orphanages and forced them to subsequently serve as infantry in the Armenian-Turkish war? I absolutely do not.


    There is very little left of Armenian monuments in Western Armenia that hasn't been ruined already. What is left now Turkey is more sensitive to protecting because of the international attention. The only way these monuments and churches can ever be preserved is by return of them to their rightful owner: the Armenian Church. In the moment of massive events, you won't have to worry about people going to damage monuments, they'll have bigger concerns.

    How do we populate that land? Currently Mongolia with 2.9 million people controls TEN TIMES more land than our ideal Unified Armenia would (Armenia/Artsakh+Nakhichevan+Javakh+Western Armenia). So I think we would manage .

    Turkey can keep it recognition and it's reparation. No nation has ever given anything up, or admitted to any crimes, or paid any reparations without being on it's knees with a gun at it's head. Armenia should absolutely look to the east. However, Armenians should never forget, and we can never stop looking for the chance to retake what is rightfully ours, regardless of how much time passes.

      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

        Although I could quote many things in the two posts above by Mher, I'll leave it at one phrase, and simply suggest reading his two above posts.

        -------------- (quote) -------- regardless of how much time passes ---------

        Well said.
