- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)

- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc

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.

  • Turkey to use UN Security Council to Link Karabakh with Armenia Talks

    By Allen Yekikan on Jun 15th, 2009

    –Ankara will use the UN Security Council to try and link the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict to the ongoing US backed efforts to normalize relations between Turkey and Armenia, Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said on Monday, the Azeri Trend news agency reported.

    A non-actor in the Karabakh conflict, Turkey has been seeking to boost its role in the peace process by conditioning its own negotiations with Armenia to a resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict currently being mediated by the US, France and Russia through the OSCE Minsk Group.

    Turkey assumed the rotating presidency of the United Nations Security Council from Russia for one month on June 1. It was elected a non-permanent member in October 2008.

    “Turkey favors discussions over matters of international interest and importance including the Karabakh conflict. We want Armenia-Azerbaijan talks to be fruitful,” Davutoglu told the Azeri Trend News Agency, in response to a question asking whether Turkey would address the issue in the UN Security Council.

    According to Trend, Davutoglu said that negotiations to establish normal relations between Armenia and Turkey are not only limited within the scope of the South Caucasus, but they also impact Turkey-U.S. relations.

    “This is not right. Our relations with Armenia must not influence our relations with the U.S.,” he was quoted by Trend as saying. “There is a need for progress and development in the resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict to normalize the situation in the region.”

    “We also work on this issue within the OSCE Minsk Group. During my Washington visit I discussed it with U.S. officials and we concluded that our common task is to contribute to the resolution of the conflict in every way possible.”

    The Minsk Group warned Ankara in May to drop its efforts to link the two unrelated issues. It said, through its French representative, Bernard Fassier, that linking the Karabakh peace process with the normalization of Armenia-Turkish relations can jeopardize the new momentum in the Karabakh talks.

    Davutoglu’s remarks come despite repeated warnings by Washington and the Minsk Group that Ankara must not link the two unrelated issues. The newly confirmed U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, Philip Gordon, announced in Yerevan on June 9 that Turkey would need to drop its renewed linkage between the reopening of the Turkish-Armenian border and a resolution of the Karabakh conflict.

    “Turkey-Armenia normalization would benefit Turkey, it would benefit Armenia and it would benefit the entire region. Because of that we don’t think it should be linked to anything else,” he said, stressing that normalization “should proceed within a reasonable time frame.”

    That “means the process can’t be infinite,” he said, adding that Washington is closely watching regional developments. “It can’t go on forever. I think the parties understand that.”

    Armenia has also criticized Turkey for its uncompromising position in their negotiations, saying that statements linking the two unrelated issues could hamper both the Armenian-Azerbaijani, as well as the Armenian-Turkish negotiations.
