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.

Just two days ago, Turkey started to transport Kurdish region's oil to the ports in Mediterranean for export. By 2013, Karamehmet (owner of Turkcell) will be making $1 Billion every year out of this agreement if things go fine. Do you think any Turkish businessman could've done this if Turkey did not keep SouthEastern regions within Turkish territory? The thing is whether we will be able to exploit much more advantages from Iraq which is in reconstruction era?
    Excellent point.... but remember who invaded Iraq

Has anybody heard of these claims? I wonder if they have serious grounds for such claims?
      They claim a lot of former Armenian land as theirs. Because there are some Ezidi Kurds living in Armenia some Kurds say that also some part of Armenia belongs to Kurds...

      Kurds do that because they have no idea about history. Where Armenians used to live there are Kurds and Turks living now.

        That should really be "Because there are some Yezidi living in Armenia, Kurds say those Yezidi are actually Kurdish. And they do this because they say exactly the same thing about Yezidi living in Turkey so that they can say those Yezidi-inhabited parts of Turkey belong to Kurds".

          Yezidi are Kurdish they are just not Muslims like other Kurds. They speak Kurmanji (Kurdish) like the Kurds from Turkey and North West Iran. Yezidis escaped from other Kurds and Turks to Armenia and Georgia. Most Yezidis live in Mosul that is in North-Iraq.

            That is what they say now, because they are fucked, and need every ally they can get. They're playing on our emotions by "apologizing", and being "sympathetic" to our cause and situation. But I PROMISE you, if they were ever to create a Kurdistan, we'll start seeing a very different tone. With their foot firmly planted in the ground, you'll see a lot wilder claims and demands, and a lot less sympathy and acknowledgment towards the Armenians for what they had done to us in the past. All they need is the power to push their true agenda forward, which is to "reclaim" the land that they think was there's (despite being nomads that never had a true homeland).

              Very true. Btw, Armenian cities like Van, Erzurum, Igdir, Kars, Agri (Ararat) and Mus are full of Kurds now and they claim it as their land.

              Here is a link that shows map of Turkey and Kurdistan.

              Kurds are copies of Turks with diffrent name and different heritage.

                Exactly. They are similar to Turks in that they think just because they have a population in a certain region, that region is theirs. Neither one has even a reference or mention in historic documentation, let alone a legitimate claim to any part of that region. If Greeks, Assyrians, Arabs, Persians, Lebanese, Armenians, etc. want to argue over what part of Anatolia is whose historically, they have some basis to do so, having all been there for thousands of years, and historically owning certain portions of it at one time, or another. But Turks? Kurds? Azeris? Get real. These are newly invented entities of modern history. They have no ancient history of their own, let alone "historic lands" to claim.
