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.

    Re: Armenia lifts Turkish visas for football match

    I am also very upset about this. This is desperation in its most pathetic form. The whole situation is very nerve racking. I just hope something good comes out of all this.

    Old logo

    New logo
    Մեր ժողովուրդն արանց հայրենասիրութեան այն է, ինչ որ մի մարմին' առանց հոգու:

      Re: Armenia lifts Turkish visas for football match

      As a Turk, I was against our president visiting a country that does not even recognize our borders. However the Armenian gesture of a new logo changed my mind and now I believe as long as good intensions are mutual it's fine with me.

        Armenia's goalkeeper is a Russian by the way.


        Roman Berezovsky (Armenian: Ռոման Բերեզովսկի, Russian: Березовский Роман Анатольевич, born on August 5, 1974 in Yerevan, Soviet Union) is an Armenian football goalkeeper, the current captain of the Russian Premier League club FC Khimki and a member of Armenia national team. He participated in 51 international matches since his debut in home 1998 World Cup qualification match against Portugal on August 31, 1996. Roman was also voted Russia's best goalkeeper in the late 1990s and is considered as the best Armenian goalkeeper since independence. His stable performances in Armenia national team made him fans' favorite. He is also the current record holder of the saves during penalty kicks in the Russian/USSR championships with 12 saves made.






        Portugal's Simao Sabrosa (L) fights for the ball with Armenia's Aleksandr Tadevosyan and goalkeeper Roman Berezovsky (R) during their Euro 2008 Group A qualifying soccer match in Leiria November 17, 2007.

            I never heard of the Armenian embargo. What is it?


            From The Voice of America :

            The embargo has hit the Armenian economy hard and, according to Cengiz Aktar, that hardship has intensified with the Georgian conflict restricting trade access to the important Black Sea port of Poti.
            "The port of Poti is under Russian occupation and the Turkish border is closed, so Armenia is in the hands of Russia and Iran. They want desperately for this Turkish border to reopen," he said.
            The leaders of Turkey's main opposition parties have strongly condemned President Gul's decision to visit Yerevan, accusing him of betraying the country and its Azerbaijan ally. And, in Armenia, the nationalist Dashnaktsutyun party said it activists will be at the airport where Mr. Gul is to arrive and the football stadium to stage protests demanding Turkey recognize the World War One killings as genocide.

            One such group is Fans Without Borders which is sending a group to Yerevan to call an end to the Armenian embargo. One member is Ceran Kener:
            "Our is aim is that to say that we don't leave this issues to the States. We don't want to leave this issue to the Diaspora. We want to deal with this issue with ourselves," he said.
            Turkish diplomatic sources say that while little diplomatic progress will be made during short visit, the real test will be if substantial negotiations will follow after Mr. Gul's visit.

                    Turkey's national football team coach Fatih Terim (R) speaks at a press conference in Yerevan on September 5, 2008. Turkey's President Abdullah Gul goes to Armenia on September 5 to watch a football match and start to tackle nearly 100 years of animosity over Ottoman Empire massacres that has left the two neighbours barely able to talk to each other.




                    Turkish national football team holds a training session in Yerevan on September 5, 2008. Turkey's President Abdullah Gul goes to Armenia on September 6 to watch a football match and start to tackle nearly 100 years of animosity over Ottoman Empire massacres that has left the two neighbours barely able to talk to each other.


                    In this July 23, 2008 file photo, Turkish President Abdullah Gul, right, is seen with Turkish officials as he visits Ani, ruined and now uninhabited capital of a medieval Armenian kingdom in Kars at the Turkey-Armenia border. Turkey and Armenia are hoping a little "football diplomacy" will help them overcome decades of bad blood rooted in claims of Ottoman-era genocide. Gul travels to Armenia on Saturday to attend a soccer match between the two historic foes _ becoming the first Turkish leader to set foot in Armenia since the ex-Soviet nation declared independence in 1991.

                      Here is a live feed, only bad thing is it's in turkish.
                      For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
                      to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.
