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.

  • armenia of 1918 and the Bolshoves

    Does anyone have a map of the Armenian republic in 1918? why did Bolshevs give up kars to turkey in 1921?

    Also if the Bolshovs did not come to power in Russia, do you think the borders of Armenia now would be different?

    Umm..if they didn't come to power in Russia, I think Turkey would've persued war with the new found republic and we would've been under Turkish rule instead of Soviet.

      I've been researching on this subject for the last 3-4 hours and I came to a different conclusion.

      during 1914-1916 tzarist Russia was on the offensive against ottoman turkey. They captured many regions like kars, erzerum, van...

      When the Bolshevic revolution happened in Russia 1917, Russia withdrew leaving the Armenian alone to protect themselves.

      The Armenians did well fighting the Turks alone keeping many regions like kars until 1920 when the Bolshoves came to Armenia. In 1921 they gave up Kars to Turkey without a fight!!

        What if the Republic wasn't conquered by the bolsheviks? Turkey demanded that land back and the bolsheviks (and i think the dashnuks?) had no power...they had to agree to Turkish demands to prevent another war.

        If they didn't agree Turkey would've attacked and taken ALL of it anyway. And if we weren't under soviet protection, we would've eventually warred with Turkey...and easly lost.

        Well, thats my opionin anyway.

            Thaaan im guessing we would've never been annexed into the soviet union and would've had to have protect ourselves BY ourselves.

            When WWII started, and the Germans attacked Stalingrad, the Turkish army rose to its feet, waiting for Russia to fall, so it can attack the former republic again. I am lead to believe that if it werent for the Russians (now and before) Turkey would've made some bullxxxx excuse for attacking us and would've conquered our land. That would lead to the succesful genocide of the Armenian people. One way or the other.

              Im convinced if it werent for the Russians. The Armenian people would've been wiped off the face of the planet hundreds of years ago. We'd be worse than the Assyrians.

                Wrong. The Dashnaks gave Kars in the treaty of Alexandropol between Armenia and Turkey so that they can fight against the armenian Bolshevicks. It is the biggest treachery they have ever done. The Dashnaks gave them Kars and the Turks recognised the Republic of Armenia as sovereign state.
                For this reason, Turkey is the first country to recognise Armenia as an independent State.

                Basically the bourgeois of our nation chosed to fight against their own countrymen instead of the Turks. If they didn't signed the Treaty of Alexandropol the Red Army could have demanded Kars from the Turks.

                what if the Bolshevic revolution never happened?
                If the Bolshevik revolution didn't took place there would no be Armenia today. The armenians would have been more or less what the Chechens are today, in the best case. The only reason that we have an independent state is because of that revolution.

                If the Bolshevik revolution happened sometime later, we have would both an independent state and Greater Armenia. Had our bourgeois , in this case the Dashnaks, sided with the Soviets, history would be very different today.
