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.

  • Buenos Aires city says "NO" to inauguration of Ataturk bust

    Premier Erdoğan cancels trip to Argentina after Armenian move

    30 May 2010, Sunday

    THE ANATOLIA NEWS AGENCY ANKARA

    Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who is on a tour to Latin America, skipped one of the stops, Argentina, after autonomous Buenos Aires city cancelled a permission to inaugurate the bust of Atatürk following efforts by Armenians, Turkish foreign ministry said on Sunday.

    Erdoğan was scheduled to pay a two-day visit to Argentina on May 30 and 31. A bust of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, founder of Turkey, would be inaugurated at Jorge Newbury park during Erdoğan's visit.

    However, the permission granted earlier by the Environment Ministry of the autonomous Buenos Aires federal district has been cancelled after efforts by Armenians who are hostile to Turkey, the ministry said in a statement.

    Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu met with his Argentine counterpart and asked Argentine government to fulfill its commitment to inaugurate the bust.

    Argentina's President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner phoned Erdoğan and said Turkey was right to react, however she added that she could not overrule autonomous Buenos Aires administration due to constitution of Argentina.

    Erdoğan, nevertheless, decided to cancel his trip to Argentina, saying such an attitude was unacceptable.

    "Argentine authorities are expected to take necessary steps to remove the shadow cast on relations between Turkey and Argentina after the wrong decision made by autonomous Buenos Aires administration," the ministry said.

    "Mr. Prime Minister headed for Chile from Brazil," it added.

    Good decision. No need to have a statue of Ataturk in every corner, street, park or whatever.
