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.

      And then they tried to eliminate the last of us.

        Two Azerbaijanis found guilty of murdering chief architect of
        Solikamsk, Olga Karapetyan

        16:58 08/02/2014 >> SOCIETY



        In Russia two men, accused of the murder of the chief architect of the
        city of Solikamsk of Perm region in 2010, were found guilty by the
        juries. According to "RIA Novosti" the Investigative Committee of
        Russia reported about that.

        According to the investigation at the begging of 2010 an unknown
        person approached to two natives of Azerbaijan and offered money to
        assassinate the architect of the city Solikamsk. They were spying on
        the woman and in the morning of the 18th of March, 2010 she was shot
        at the stairwell of her house.

        "By the unanimous verdict of the jury the convicted are found guilty
        of incriminated activities whereas one of them as unworthy of
        indulgence. After discussing the consequences of verdict the court
        will pass the sentence," it is said in the statement.

        As Komersnat-Perm reads, of the chief architect of the city of
        Solikamsk of Perm region, Olga Karapetyan was killed on the 18th of
        March, 2010 at the stairwell of the house where she lived. Two men, 46
        and 27 were found guilty. One of them is recognized as unworthy to
        indulgence. The court will pass the sentence after the discussion of
        consequences of the verdict. At the end of the last year law
        enforcement agencies of Perm region adjudicated the alleged murderer
        of the chief architect of the city of Solikamsk.

        As Komersnat stated that man, Azar Akbarov was a former soldier of
        Special Forces of Azerbaijan, already serving a sentence of murder and
        illegal possession of weapons. The investigators couldn't disclose the
        second person.

        One of the main potential versions of the murder was the professional
        activities of the architect. The offence could have been connected
        with her refusal to give permission for demolition or construction of
        an architectural monument.

        It was set by the investigation and the court that the above mentioned
        individuals at the beginning of 2010 accepted the offer of an unknown
        person to kill the chief architect of the city of Solikamsk in return
        for monetary compensation.

            ARMENIANS UNDER ATTACK IN THE OLD CITY

            Tuesday, April 7th, 2015 |

            A priest walks through one of the street's in Jerusalem's Armenian
            Quarter. (Photo: Matthew Karanian)

            BY APO SAHAGIAN >From The Times of Israel

            It happened again on Saturday night. A group of students from the
            Armenian seminary were walking to the Armenian convent when a group of
            extremist xxxish youngsters harassed them. But the police did not want
            to listen to that, they didn't want to hear the fact that in the state
            of Israel it's not always us, the goyim, that are the provocateurs.

            Most of the time, in the Old City of Jerusalem, it is the xxxs. At
            least 20 police officers illegally entered the seminary to apprehend
            two students whom they accused of giving a black eye to one of their
            attackers

            These incidents are all too common for those of us who live within
            the ancient walls of Jerusalem. A year back I was chatting with an
            Armenian priest when suddenly, out of nowhere, he was spat on by a
            passing xxxish teen. Once I realized what had happened, I wanted to
            shove that kid against the wall and remind him of his own people's
            history but the priest went on and on about turning the other cheek. I
            decided to heed his word and be a "good Christian" for that night.

            No matter how many times our community and Patriarchate have complained
            about these harassments, the authorities have been determinedly
            indifferent. Rather, their response has always been to arrest an
            Armenian seminary student. The police might never bring this to your
            attention but not a single such attack has occurred with a Muslim. Why
            does it happen with xxxish youngsters who walk around the Old City
            believing it is their inherent right to harass those who differ from
            their preferred demographic?

            The indifference by the police will eventually lead to far worse
            incidents. I had a preview of that a few years back when we discovered
            graffiti on of the walls of the Armenian Quarter that read "Death to
            Arabs and Armenians." The incident went unreported as the graffiti
            was quickly washed off. But the authorities continue to act as if
            such sentiments don't exist among young xxxish extremists; for them,
            in the land of the xxxs, everyone else is suspect.

            Unfortunately, these extremist tendencies are worrying a small
            community that has never bothered the state. Throughout the decades
            of conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians, the Armenians of
            Jerusalem have kept a low profile in their quiet quarter. But don't
            mistake us for pushovers. If there is anything we Armenians and xxxs
            share it is tragic histories that have taught us that you cannot
            always rely on others to defend you and you cannot always turn the
            other cheek. The application of fair rule and law is a must for a
            community that has simply given up on changing the apathetic attitude
            of the authorities. It has reached the point where I overheard someone
            say to one of the seminary students: "Take the beating. If you react,
            they will arrest you. You are not xxxish".

            It's no exaggeration that Israel loves to boast about its 'growing
            Christian communities' in a Middle East that has been increasingly
            hostile to Christian communal life. But sooner or later, Israel has
            to admit that in achieving a state in the Middle East, it has also
            acquired the ills of the Middle East. Occasional consideration to
            this menace may go a long way in containing the damage.

              MATTER OF GRANTING ASYLUM TO IRAQI YAZIDIS "NOT ON ARMENIA'S AGENDA", DEPUTY FOREIGN MINISTER SAYS

              05.27.2015 17:43 epress.am



              The issue of granting asylum in Armenia to Yazidi refugees who
              have been forced to flee their homes in Northern Iraq to escape a
              jihadist onslaught by the Islamic State "is not even on the agenda,"
              Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Manasyan said at the RA
              National Assembly on Wednesday, May 27, in response to a question by
              Epress.am correspondent.

              Note, 4 Yazidi organizations had called on the Armenian Foreign
              Ministry to raise the issue of theIraqi Yazidi's genocide in the
              UN, as well as provide humanitarian assistance and asylum to the
              representatives of the religious minority.

              "What rights do the Yazidi organizations have to make such a request?

              Have they been authorized by the Yazidi community to appeal to us on
              their behalf?" Manasyan countered.

              Touching upon the statement [ARM] by Davit Babayan, press secretary
              of the office of the president of the Nagorno-Karabakh, about the
              readiness of NKR to grant asylum to Iraqi Yazidis, Manasyan said,
              "That's nonsense. There can be no such thing."

              In an interview with Epress.am Sinjar Yazidi National Union President
              Boris Murazi said that the Foreign Ministry had officially rejected
              their appeal.

              Today, Manasyan also denied Armenia's intention to taken in
              representatives of the Armenian community in Syria. According to
              the official, the visa regime with Syria has been simplified, and
              Armenians in Syria are free to come to Armenia, however "it's not
              for us to decide the fate of the community."

              "Until now, no anti-Armenian actions have been taken; it's all been
              against Christians, against religious minorities," Manasyan added.

                AZERBAIJANI WHO KILLED 19 YEAR-OLD ARMENIAN DETAINED FOR 2 MONTHS IN MOSCOW

                15:10, 14 October, 2015

                YEREVAN, OCTOBER 14, ARMENPRESS. The court of Moscow decided to detain
                Azerbaijani Emil Zulfugarov who killed 19 year-old Anna Sargsyan,
                an Armenian student who refused his proposal.

                As "Armenpress" reports, citing Russian Media, Zulfugarov inflicted
                seven deadly strikes to the girl, who died till the arrival of
                ambulance in the result of the received injuries. The incident happened
                in Khachatryan Street, near the underground.

                Later it turned out that during the last 2 years Azerbaijani youngster
                was attracted with the girl and after receiving several denials he
                started to pursue her.

                The girl's father turned to the police for assistance to protect his
                daughter but Police did not take into consideration his complaints.

                The student's last seconds fixed camera installed on the street: The
                youngster approached the girl and inflicted several knife strikes to
                her stomach. He escaped after the incident but he did not try to hide.

                Police arrested him short time later.

                There is still no information why the Police did not react to the
                complaints of the girl's relatives.

                The court of Moscow decided to detain Azerbaijani Emil Zulfugarov who killed 19 year-old Anna Sargsyan, an Armenian student who refused his proposal. As...

                      Turkish Police breaks doors of Armenian Church (Source: Public Radio of Armenia)

                      YEREVAN (Public Radio of Armenia)—Turkish policemen have broken the door of Sourp Kevork (St. George) Armenian Church in Mardin, Turkey.

                      Hatun Jajur, who has voluntarily undertaken to clean the church, had left for a while and found everything turned upside down upon return.

                      “Not only the main entrance, but also all other doors of the church were broken,” Jajur said.

                      The Church is one of Europe’s seven most endangered monuments. For 15 centuries the Church of St. George was the spiritual home of the large Armenian community in the Turkish city of Mardin. This Grade I registered historical building was founded in 420 AD and was in use until the Armenian genocide of 1915. In spite of its outstanding historical and cultural importance, this monument is currently in an advance state of decay.
