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.

      bell-the-cat is British, not Armenian. His name is Sean something. He is also the creator of Virtual Ani. Don't fall into his idiotic traps, he is trolling as usual.
      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.

        Too late as it seems....as I have warned before, he is really good screwing with Armenians.

        He does however add spice to the forum and he doesn't do too bad as a halfass historian.

          I'm going to make this thread a regular place for posting news items about stories that reveal stupid behaviour in Armenia or the Armenian diaspora, and which make intelligent Armenians cringe with embarassment (and make stupid Armenians stick their fingers in their ears and shout "blaa blaa blaa I can't hear you!"). I'm sure that comments made by a number of the members of this forum will continue to provide additional unintended examples of embarassing behaviour.

          Turkish Film Festival in Armenia Prohibited Because of a Gay Man?

          Epress.am (http://www.epress.am/FNew.aspx?nid=10645)
          Dec. 14, 2010


          Turkish Film Festival "23.5," which took place in Yerevan in March,
          was unable to be held in the Armenian city of Vanadzor, the capital of
          Lori marz (province). The films were to have screened in Vanadzor at
          the Charles Aznavour Culture House on Dec. 10 and then at the puppet
          theatre on Dec. 11. After contracts for venue rentals were secured,
          organizers began to distribute invitations on Nov. 29.

          On Dec.8, the director of the puppet theatre, S. Melikyan, told
          Vanadzor festival coordinator Hamlet Gyulzadyan that the film
          screening won't take place in the theatre, advising him to go to the
          mayor's office to receive details as to why.

          Deputy Mayor Norik Sardaryan said though organizers are engaged in
          humanitarian activities, the festival won't take place in Vanadzor -
          at all.

          Turkish Film Festival Director Georgy Vanyan requested a written
          explanation of city hall's decision and the one-sided termination of
          the lease agreements. Sardaryan responded by saying the festival won't
          take place in Vanadzor because he wishes it so. He then advised
          organizers to send a letter and wait for a response.

          The puppet theatre director confirmed the fact of terminating the
          lease agreement. Organizers were able to acquire a lease agreement
          which was still in effect from Culture House Director Artyom Gulinyan;
          however, one hour before the festival was to begin on Dec. 10,
          Gulinyan said he cannot open the doors of the screening room.

          At the same time, festival goers began to gather in front of the
          Culture House, where staff were instructed not to allow anyone
          upstairs, near the screening room. Vanyan was able to negotiate with
          staff to allow festival goers to wait at the Culture House cafe until
          the issue gets resolved. At the same time, two employees of the city
          prosecutor's office went upstairs.

          At 3 pm, more festival goers arrived, and there was no more room in
          the cafe. They began to gather in the lobby. After waiting for about
          20 minutes, when all attempts to fulfill the obligations of the lease
          agreement and screen the films had been exhausted, Vanyan declared
          that, unfortunately, the festival won't be taking place.

          In any case, the festival director made a few opening remarks, turned
          on his laptop and began to show the films. Naturally, many of the
          approximately 100 festival goers that had gathered couldn't watch the
          films on the small screen and they left, asking Vanyan to kindly
          provide them with the films later.

          The most stubborn spectators remained in the cafe, mainly students
          from Vanadzor Academy of Performing Arts (directing department). After
          everyone had left, these 7 students watched the 10 films on Vanyan's
          laptop.

          Later, Vanadzor Deputy Mayor Sardaryan said no one asked him for
          permission to prohibit or not prohibit the festival. According to him,
          he was only asked for his opinion and he had said, such a festival is
          not appropriate. He added, if the directors of the city's
          establishments heeded his opinion, then he welcomed their decision.

          "My opinion is that the puppet theatre is not a venue for screening
          political films," he said.

          Sardaryan further said that he did not instruct anyone not to allow
          the film screenings and he didn't receive any "orders from above."
          Vanyan had come to see him, according to the deputy mayor, with a man
          who is gay, and he "doesn't even say hi to such people."

          "Such people have gathered and want to show something or another, how
          can that be allowed," said Sardaryan.

          This article was prepared in the original Armenian on the basis of
          Luisa Poghosyan's article.

              I personally like the following article more than the one you posted.

              In the Issue of the Azerbaijani Film Festival in Yerevan, Babukhanyan Only Against the Brits


              "Are you the British Council's attorney?" asked leader of the Armenian political party Constitutional Rights Union Hayk Babukhanyan in response to a question by Epress.am, asking whether he was aware that the British Council is neither sponsoring nor participating in the Azerbaijani film festival in Yerevan.

              Recall that speaking to journalists earlier today, Babukhanyan had suggested prohibiting "the British Council's activities [in Armenia], which supports holding the festival."

              Epress.am informed the politician that it is in fact the US Embassy in Armenia that is the sponsor of the event; however, Babukhanyan continued to insist that he demands "the activities of the British people and the British Council be ceased."

              Asked whether he is perhaps suggesting to prohibit the activities of the US Embassy in Armenia, Babukhanyan responded: "I didn't say such a thing."

                Emo adherent Marine contends that if suicide is the real concern,
                authorities should focus on the Armenian army, which has experienced
                15 non-combat deaths - including two suicides, officially -- since
                July alone. "[S]uicide is quite common in the army; many people become
                victims of that every year," said Marine. "Let them focus intensively
                on the army rather than on us."
                How do you guys respond to this in particular? In my opinion it's a good point, but if you have some kind of background information to add perspective, I'd like to hear it.

                  From my perspective, one suicide stems from the psychological effects of a culture that breeds depression while the other stems from actually being depressed because of a realization that life sucks at times.
