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.

    Re: Armenia and Dagestan

    According to traditional Armenian and Georgian accounts, both these peoples, along with several other Caucasian peoples, are the descendants of Torgom. According to Moses Khorenatsi, he was "son of Tiras, son of Gomer". Furthermore, the local names for Armenia (Hayq) and Georgia (Kartli/Sakartvelo) are allegedly from sons of Thorgamas:

    1. Haik (Հայք) - the legendary patriarch and founder of the Armenian nation.
    2. Kartlos (ქართლოს) - the legendary patriarch and founder of the Georgian nation.
    3. Bardos - Caucasian Albania
    4. Movakos (Movkans) - Caucasian Albania
    5. Lekos (Lek) - eponim of Leks (often times all tribes of Dagestan were called Leks)
    6. Heros (Herans) - Caucasian Albania
    7. Kavkasos (Kovkases) - North Caucasus (Chechen, Ingushs, ...)
    8. Egros (Egers). Caucasian Albania

      Violent? Have you been to Moscow? Ever had to deal with Russian skinheads?

      Armenians, Georgians, Dagestanies, Chechens, ..., muslim, or not - unite against skinheads. Maybe they are different and Armenians have problems with them time-to-time, but they are better then Russians. That's my personal opinion.

        Re: Armenia and Dagestan

        I have nothing against Dagestatsi, however Armenians being united with them against the skinheads is BS. It’s not like a skinheads are official group openly fighting against Armenians or others and there is a war going on between the groups.

          I was wondering if anyone knows of anything that has to do with Armenia and Dagestan intersect historically?

          Dagestan is a country located in South Caucasus in between Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Chechnya.

          My interested is their dances, music, and national clothing.

          There is a lot of similarities in our dances, music, and (as I was told) national clothing.

          They dance Lezginka, but it is not like the Georgian or Chechen Lezginka. They actually have clarinet and zurna that sounds like Armenian. Very first time I heard their Lezginka with clarnet I thought it was an Armenian playing it. It is that similar.

          You can hear and see music and dances here:


          (Pay attention at what is happening at 4th minute of the video. Don't you see some familiar elements?)

          This video was a first video that got my interest in their culture and how it connects with ours. It was one Dagestani that told me that when there was no Armenia and Dagestan some of our tribes were located close to each other and they were friends. That's how we got the similarities in our cultures, but that's all he knew.

          Discuss.
          Dagestan are actually in Northern Caucasus and Dagestanian ethnic group is a Northern Caucasian ethnic group, alongside with Nax (Chechen & Ingush) and Circassians.

          The similiarity could be from Caucasian Albania. They are our ancestors and had some connection to Armenian kingdom.

            Once upon a time Nahs, Armenian and Georgians were one nation. Speaking one language living in Urartu. Circasians have a little different background.

            How do Dagestanies feel about Armenians? Do they make good friends or not so much? Does a religion get in a way often times.

            In Armenian section of www.kavkazweb.net/forum there is a topic about Armenians and Dagestanies. It has a lot of interesting material on the topic. Only problem is, it is in Russian.

              In Moscow, of course everyone are "Kavkaz" brothers.

              Even Azeris and Armenians, believe me.

              But generally, Dagestanis have no issues with Armenians.

                That's a ridiculous claim because the Urartian language is not genetically related to any of the languages of the ethnic groups you mentioned.

                Urartu was a confederation of kingdoms that united for war against the Assyrians and found political unity by doing so. This doesn't mean that all its peoples were the same. Little is known about the actual ethnic groups who lived in Urartu, as we only have royal and religious records.

                  It is not ridiculous. You go to any Chechen or Ingush you will find out the same. Why go so far away? Armenian and Georgian Historical Archives say that Hayk or Haos (after whome, as you know, we call ourselves Hay) had 7 brothers. One of them was Kartli or Kartlos (Georgians), Lek or Lekos (several Dagestani tribes, and as you might know we still call Dagestanies Leks), Kavkas (Chechens, Ingushs) and several other brothers. That's history bro. Torgom (their father) spread his lands in between his sons, and each took specific amount of people to start a new "nation". That was long before Urartu, almost 45 centuries ago (when Hayk was born). Then after centuries passed by the nations got their identifications, unique cultures, names of nations changed, language groups and so on and so on.

                  Search some info on Torgom or Togarmah

                  What I am trying to find now is what language group they spoke back then. Was it Indo-European or Caucasian. Some one told me that Caucasian didn't exist back then and they spoke an Indo-European or Pre-Indo-European. Then after long centuries of isolation (living in Caucasus) their language mutated into their own group called Caucasian. A person I spoke to wasn't that of a reliable source, so I am seeking for confirmation.

                    Does that mean people of Urartu (Ayrarat) were not ethnical armenians?

                      Aghvans (Caucasian Albanians) were closest ethnos to Armenians in all history. In one period of history Aghvank (Albania) was part of Armenian Kingdom.
