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.

Who considers the Sevres treaty as a document with any relevance to today?

Turkey does, otherwise why so nervous about the whole issue

So are you agreeing that for question "Who, apart from some ARF leaders posturing in public, and a few extremist in Turkey, considers the Sevres treaty to be a document with any relevance to today?" the answer is "Nobody"?

By "relevance" I mean something beyond its existence as an historical document.

I thought I saw a Puddy cat , jingles,why are you lowering your high self to a feeble quetion, like the one you posed, supposedly to destroy my friends thread?

The real question needs to be:Does the Sevre agreement play a role in redetermining borders of Armenia and Turkey , if US who is the architect of the Sevre, and a non-signatory party to the Lozan, re-evaluates its long term relations with the Turkish Republic???

yes, I agree. That doesn't make the document any less important for Armenians to know about and talk about though.

And Palavra, thank you for your response, at least we understand for or less eachothers' positions now and can move on.

Re: Sevri Tashnakir vs. Karsi Tashnakir

You think our culture and our tradition is "hating Turks"?

Some part of it. I differentiated anti-turkish and pro-armenian culture.

Think again, we have our own civilization, our own religion, customs, history... It is important for Armenians of today to learn about it and connect to it. In the face of globalism today, we MUST hold onto our traditions, or pass away, dissolving into the soulless mass of modern humans who's religion is work to pay bills and participate in the economy which chains them to a meaningless life, sprinkled with some cheap flashy entertainment (and that's only if we're lucky enough to live in the richer, safer parts of the world...)

Armenians don't need this, I declare a spiritual war on globalism and I encourage the rest of mankind to do so as well, including you.

Sorry but you cannot fight against time. Culture of ROA will change unless you totally close ROA to outside of country..

The reason why Armenians are at odds with Turks is because your people and your government have always served to pillage everything Armenian in order to prop up your own "raison d'etre" in Anatolia. Armenians feel threatened by this, it is only natural for us, especially organized, patriotic elements of us like Dashnaktsutyun to retaliate, politically, intellectually and in the days of Armenia forming its first republic in 1918, through armed resistance.

I did not say You should not retaliate. It is your right.

Stupid nationalist donkeys are they?

Yep they are. They decided that france or Russia would give them their country. Look what they got.

Or our stupid ittihatists

They are an important reason why Armenia exists today, just like Turkish nationalism is an especially important reason why Turkey exists today, as does the impossibility of questioning Ataturk, the "dubiousness of the Armenian Genocide" and the rest of your country's historical revisionism that seeks to undermine the Armenian civilization.

It is not realy anti-armenian. It is anti non-turkish elements. Anyway, There is not impossibility. If you are talking about impossibility, It is that no armenian can refuse AG.

Because Turkey's nationalistic ends are mostly achieved, it does not occur to the Turkish people that this status quo they've been living in for generations has been nationalist at all, and so they consider the especially militant elements of their nation as the "nationalist ones".

I can differentiate two and I am not talking about grey wolfes when I am calling nationalists stupid.

". It is all relative. So enough with criticizing Dashnaks on these lines. They are likely as nationalist as Turkey has been since Ataturk.

Who said, I liked nationalism at 1923? But I want to make one point, even Ataturk was a nationalist, he was also a pragmatist.. That is why he forsaken some turkish lands.

Again, the only reason why you don't think your current government is "nutty" is because they have been victorious in their nationalism.

I do not accuse ROA goverment as nutty and I do not think Turkish goverment do everything right. Still AKP is least nationalist party, Turkey ever see.

do you realy think a nationalist goverment will even think about opening border with ROA when karabag is occupied?

Your secular regime is more nationalistic than you think.

Infact, My secular regime is more nationalistic than you think too. I am aware of that fact better than you.. And They made a lot stupid mistake

They are very clever, I'll give them that, both in their dealings with their domestic population and how they educate them, and with the international world.

I disagree. They are totally idiots inside of Turkey. They failed again and again. Not bad about international politics. At least, They are following real politics.

Turkey is a very special, clever nation and must be dealt with by Armenians with care, but this care has no bearing on why we must forget the atrocities... I'm sorry but our memory does not make us the aggressors.

Your memories dont but your wish about eastern Turkey make you aggressors.(For Turkey)

Ohh my eyes, not again!

You just continue to refuse to answer the question! Is it because the answer would just blow a hole in your whole thread, and your whole ideology?

Question: Who, apart from some ARF leaders posturing in public, and a few extremist in Turkey, considers the Sevres treaty to be a document with any relevance to today?

Answer: Nobody.
