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.

    U.S. Hasn't Recognized Turkish Republic Juridically So Far

    [I wonder how accurate and "credible" is the statement below made by Ara Papyan and, if yes, what would be , if any, the implications? Siamanto.]

    U.S. HASN'T RECOGNIZED TURKISH REPUBLIC JURIDICALLY SO FAR

    PanARMENIAN.Net
    11.05.2007 16:56 GMT+04:00

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ "The U.S. hasn't recognized the Turkish Republic
    jurudically so far. In 1918 the U.S. Senate decreed that a state which
    failed to fulfill the arbitration award of the U.S. President cannot
    be recognized," Ara Papyan, orientalist, specialist in international
    law and Armenia's former Ambassador to Canada told a news conference
    in Yerevan.

    "It's not true that the Lausanne peaceful agreement annulled the
    Sevr treaty. The Armenian-Turkish border issue wasn't even discussed
    in Lausanne. There were two reasons for it. First, there already
    existed the arbitration award. Second, Armenia wasn't an element of the
    international law any more. Furthermore, provision 16 of the agreement
    reads, "Turkey renounces its claims to territories which are not marked
    by the Lausanne peaceful agreement as Turkish." Actually, the Lausanne
    agreement had restored the Sevr treaty," the Armenian diplomat said.

    At that Ara Papyan noted that presently the matter concerns
    rehabilitation of international law but not return of lands. "For
    Armenia it's first of all a security issue which includes
    demilitarization of the border zone, Turkey's abstinence from
    interfering into the Nagorno Karabakh conflict and Armenia's engagement
    into economic projects," Mr Papyan said.

    INTERNATIONAL LAW DOESN'T PROVIDE FOR INVIOLABILITY OF BORDERS

    PanARMENIAN.Net
    11.05.2007 17:54 GMT+04:00

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ International law doesn't provide for inviolability
    of borders. They are marked by international treaties, Ara Papyan,
    orientalist, specialist in international law and Armenia's former
    Ambassador to Canada told a news conference in Yerevan.

    "Till 1933 the Republic of Armenia was recognized by the League
    of Nations according to provisions of the Sevr treaty. Presently,
    Armenia, as the assignee of the First Republic of Armenia (1918-1920),
    has every reason to request the UN Security Council to urge Turkey
    to fulfill obligations undertaken in Sevr," he said.

    As to formation of an independent Kurdish state, it can happen, since
    provision 62 of the Sevr treaty provides for Kurdistan state on the
    territory of Iraq, Syria, Turkey and a part of Armenia. We should be
    ready for it," the Armenian diplomat underscored.

      NO ONE CANCELLED SEVRE TREATY ON ARMENIA

      PanARMENIAN.Net
      11.05.2007 17:06 GMT+04:00

      /PanARMENIAN.Net/ "After conclusion of the Sevre Treaty on August
      10, 1920 borders with independent Armenia had to be set by a neutral
      mediator - the United States. In this view, representatives of UK,
      France and Italy appealed to U.S. President Woodrow Wilson for an
      arbitration award on the Armenian-Turkish border. Mr Wilson outlined
      Armenia's territory of 110 square km," Ara Papyan, orientalist,
      specialist in international law and Armenia's former Ambassador to
      Canada told a news conference in Yerevan.

      "The arbitration award on the Armenian-Turkish border is
      an international agreement which is not subject to appeal and
      restriction of time. The big Parisian Four addressed a joint note to
      the U.S. President in order to determine Armenian and Turkish borders
      on the territory of Van, Bitlis, Erzrum and Trapezund," Papyan said.

      The fate of the arbitration award is not bound with the ratification of
      the Sevre treaty, according to him. "Westerman's committee responsible
      for determination of borders was formed in the U.S.

      Congress. The map and award affixed by the state seal marking
      the significance of the documents are kept in the U.S. Congress
      Library. Another committee dealing with the demarcation of borders
      at the site was headed by Henry Morgenthau, the U.S. Ambassador to
      Turkey in the times of the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire,"
      the Armenian diplomat said.

      However, Papyan noted, November 29 the 11th Red Army entered
      Armenia and the First Republic stopped existence as an international
      element. "That is why the conditions of the Sevre and Lausanne treaties
      were not fulfilled. The USSR was not the assignee of the Republic of
      Armenia," he said.
