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.

    Looking for the survivors from Sumgait and Baku

    Hi. I'm creating a web-site dedicated to the victims of the pogroms in Sumgait and Baku. It will be written in the Slovak language that is understandable to the Czechs and to the other Slavic people, too. I would appreciate if people who survived those pogroms - or their kids - could send me their stories in one of the following languages: English, German, French, Russian, or Ukrainian. I can speak all of them. I already collected some stories from the refugees from Baku, but I think the more stories I publish, the better - so people can read about it and never forget what has happened. Half of my family - the Armenian side - are refugees from Baku. I would never learn about the pogroms if I didn't became part of an Armenian family. That's why I want to make sure all the Slovaks and the others learn what happened. I would translate your stories to my language. I know it must be very hard to get back to those days in your memory - my relatives don't want to talk about it too much - but I think it's very important to get those stories out and put it online. If you feel you would like to share your personal story, please send it to me at: [email protected]. Please be as much specific as you can (naming places, people, time, streets...etc.). Thanks a lot. Narmine

        Hi vasbourakan1, unfortunately I do not speak Armenian (yet ) BUT one day hopefully I will (it looks like quite a difficult language to me), however, thanks a lot for your suggestion, I definitely will make a note about it and hope one day I will be able to get back to it. I collected some stories already from couple of people from Baku - one is worse than another one - and I already translated it to my language. I still am working on the web-site so if there are any suggestions from anyone I gladly will listen to it. Thank you once again & wish you all the best.

          thks, you can also consult Tatul Hakobyan's book 'ganach ou sev' or in english 'green and black' where the forth chapter is dedicated to the sumgait massacres. I suppose you can find it in english (I have the armenian version) since the author collaborates to the Armenian Reporter in USA. the book relates the minutes of the Artsakh problem since early 1988's until today

            Re: Looking for the survivors from Sumgait and Baku

            Recently I read it on the website that when azeris in Baku went after every Armenian house to search and kill all the Armenians in Baku, they would gather up around Armenian women, undress them completely then they have burned their naked bodies with cigarettes until they died. Then they chewed up some Armenian men; their whole bodies bit by bit just like a hungry animal like a lion or a tiger would do. Yes, such unspeakable barbaric acts were committed against the Armenians in Baku.
