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.

        Sorry I misspelled Chaos(=a state of utter confusion)
        In the bible it talks about Nimrod and the Chaos in Babylon but doesn't mention who slayed him, nor the reason for the Chaos.

In it, the Hittites are claimed to be an ethnic sub-group of the Turkish race. I've read an article (in English) about the theory by a Turkish scholar named Can Erimtan titled "Hittites Ottomans and Turks: Agaoglu Ahmed Bey and the Kemalist construction of Turkish nationhood in Anatolia". But it does not specifically mention Urartians, only that the same Turkish claim is made for other ancient civilisations that existed in what is now the territory of Turkey. Those other civilisations included Urartu - but I'd like to locate a source that actually makes the "Urartian Turks" claim.

            "I read somewhere", i.e., it is no longer a tradition, not a living tale, but a dead story pulled from some book.

            In some places it is still a living tradition. I remember in a village near the shores of Lake Van, in the shadow of the volcanic crater of Mount Nemrut (i.e. Nimrod), a Kurdish villager who spoke a bit of English comparing America to Babylon, president George Bush to Nimrod, and Bush's invasion of Iraq to Nimrod's ill-fated and over-reaching expedition.

              I tried to slip through an uncited story and you catch me, why don't that surprise me.
              Amazing after all this time, must of been a such an event, comparable to say the bombs dropped on Hiroshima,Nagasaki, the land echoes with the vibration of the Mega-event.

                I thought ancient Babylon was in Iraq and the Anti Christ was the first to rebuild Babylon... hmmpf. I would have liked to see G.W. hang in the hanging gardens but noooo.

                  Ah, I got it now. Well, Ive also never read anything about Urartus being Turkic. However, in middle-school history books that I've mentioned, they do not teach them as being Turkic. It is just the "History of Anatolia" before Turks.

                    Vasak Syuni? He is one of the multiple treasonous individuals who, for a few coins, had unfortunately chosen to serve the enemy instead of the Armenian nation.

                    In that list there is also Hovannes-Smbat who promised to hand our Bagratid Armenia to the Byzantines after his death, which didn't leave much chance to the last Armenian king who was supposed to inherit the kingdom.

                    To that list joins today Serge Sargsyan and Edouard Nalbandian.

                      There's of course a counter argument that he was a shrewd politician who also was a patriot, played both sides till the end for the country's sake.I totally disagree !

                      A leader is not supposed to "manage' a crisis.They are supposed to take a moral and a ethical stand, because you lie down with swine, you'll get up smelling like pork chops.I will take a stand with anyone any race or creed, as long as its a moral and ethical stand (that seem to carry no currency no more).First thing we must do as a nation is to end (starting with ourselves) this prevailing cynicism, no matter what the odds are of success, defend our core values.
