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.

    Exhibition Dedicated To 400-year-old History And Culture Of Iranian Armenian Colony

    EXHIBITION DEDICATED TO 400-YEAR-OLD HISTORY AND CULTURE OF IRANIAN
    ARMENIAN COLONY OPENS IN MATENADARAN


    YEREVAN, JULY 22, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. An exhibition
    dedicated to the 400-year-old history and culture of the Armenian
    colony which settled in Iran following the Shahabasian deportation
    opened on July 22 in the show-room of the Matenadaran in Yerevan. The
    exhibition has been organized with the support of the Cultural center
    "Peria" of the American Armenian Cultural Fund, the manuscript
    depository and treasury of the Mother See of Holy Echmiadzin and the
    Matenadaran. It features for the first time more than 40 manuscripts,
    some of which were carried by Armenians to Iran during the
    deportation, while the others were written in Nor Jugha and
    neighboring areas. According to Head of the show-room Aida
    Charkhchian, most of the manuscripts are usually kept in the
    manuscript depository of the Mother See of Holy Echmiaszin, the
    Matenadaran, the museum of St Amenaprkich Monastery in Nor Jugha,
    Venice and Jerusalem. These are mainly gospels, books containing
    Armenian church psalms and scientific studies. The most ancient
    manuscripts are the gospels written in Narekavank in 1069 and in Nor
    Jugha in 1607. In the words of Director of the Matenadaran,
    Academician of the RA NAA Sen Arevshatian, 400 year ago, under the
    pressure of Shah Abas the Armenians of the Ararat Valley and
    Nakhichevan were forcibly deported and settled down in various towns
    of Iran. They founded Nor Jugha and, since the beginning of the 17th
    century, started building churches and continued the creative work of
    Iranian Armenians in all spheres of the spiritual, cultural and
    scientific life. Chairman of the Cultural center "Peria" Masis
    Baghdasarian said that the Iranian authorities have always treated
    Armenians with sympathy, that is why the Iranian Armenians live a
    full-value life and are able to preserve spiritual and cultural values
    inherited from their ancestors. He stated that by 2010, the Union will
    strive to present to the whole world the 400-year-old history and
    cultural values of the Iranian Armenian colony formed in Iran as a
    result of the Shahabasian deportation. An exhibition of ancient
    manuscripts created in Nor Jugha will also open in Echmiadzin on July
    23.

    Someone told me recently that Iran is trying to get the St. Stephanos and St. Thaddeus monasteries in NW Iran listed with UNESCO as sites of world cultural importance - and that Turkey is objecting and making difficulties.
    Plenipotentiary meow!

      Re: Exhibition Dedicated To 400-year-old History And Culture Of Iranian Armenian Colo

      Ironically, Iran has some of the world's oldest churches in the world, while the ones in Turkey were pretty much destroyed. Yet, Iran is still considered the "outlaw of the world." The problem is that Americans and British are spending millions to start a civil war within Iran. In that case, Turkey and Azerbaijan have green lights from world powers to anexe the Azerbaijan of Iran. This is the only way that American gov. could defeat the Iranians. According to Wikipedia, Iran has the largest military in the world. "Countries by list of armed forces." This is why Turkey is trying to destroy any alliance between Iran and Armenia and this is why Persia's history is attacked constantly. If Iran falls, what would be the faith of Armenia? since Turkey has good relations with US. (You see now why Turkey is on Persia's throat.)
