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.

Turkey claims to 'helping' Armenia

  • Turkey claims to 'helping' Armenia

    Turkish Prime Minister Abdullah Gul once again used the denialist policies of the Turkish Government regarding the Armenian Genocide at the Council of Europe, after speaking about Turkey's "Zero Tolerance of torture." and the 'progress' they have made regaurding human rights.
    One speaker, François Rochebloine, (France) cited "the deep commitment to renewal" displayed by the election of the new Turkish government, asked if Turkey intends now to "clarify its past, especially regarding Armenia and Armenian communities" by acknowledging "the annihilation, through genocide, of its Armenian population," Gul argued that events took place during a time of war, and renounced the existence of any plan to annihilate the Armenian people. He went on to note that "Turkey helps Armenia," rejecting any notion that his country is responsible for poor relations with its neighbor. He concluded by stressing the need to "focus on the future and forget the past."

    "Beyond the usual denialist propaganda, what is striking in Gul's speech is his inability to objectively view history and to grasp how its denial has led to the current political deadlock," said executive director of the European Armenian Federation Laurent Leylekian.

    "Mr. Gul's remarks simply don't reflect reality: Armenians and non-Turkish minorities in general are second class citizens in an apartheid state. And as for their complete religious tolerance- I suggest Mr. Gul informs Mr. Yusuf Akbulut of these facts. Mr. Akbulut, an Assyrian priest, was in the past physically threatened and jailed for having mentioned the Armenian Genocide of 1915. His church was vandalized in Diyarbakir, only two weeks ago," noted Leylekian.

    "The claim that 'Turkey helps Armenia' is patently false. Turkey continues to act as a predator and rogue state by continuing its illegal blockade of Armenia. Those who put their hopes in the new Young-Turks who pretend to be crypto-Islamists, have now understood that more than the current regime, the problem is the Turkish state itself, with its racist and bellicose doctrines," concluded Leylekian.

      I wouldn't fret. As long as we never forget the past and educate the world about the atrocities, Turkey will always have the black cloud of the Genocide over their fez heads.

          like inagoddavida said, no matter what turkey tries to do reguarding genocides, torture, and human rights, they will still have the geniocide hanging behind them, regardless of what kinds of programs or ideas or even how long from 1915 they try to do what they're going to do.

              What is a bigger important issue in my opinion of course is not only for Turkey to accept what they did, but most of all for Armenians to know the historic ramifications of such tragedies and realize the importance of their identity and how close to oblivion we all really lie, whether by the hands of foreign oppressors ( Turkey ), or by domestic tyrants ( Kocharian ), or by apathy ( self hating Armenians ).

                I think apathy may be the biggest threat of the 3.

                  I cant believe how stupid the Turkish government is, what's going to happen if they admit to the genocide, no war, no killing, nothing, i think they should get some balls and say " Okay, we did it" and i also think armenians should learn more about their history, i also think they should start acting ARMENIAN, i mean go to www.armenianclub.com and look at some of the profiles, if you look at mine, and see all the people that try to come back at me ( they can't cause they suck at it), they don't act armenian, someone go read 2pac123's profile, this one girl says she hates people who think armenians are big xxxx, and she says she's happy that she's not from armenia, and that she's more russian than armenian, and she's glad of it, i mean a lot of people in armenianclub can't even speak armenain for gods sake, as i was saying, if you read my profile, and look at the attempted comebacks, you notice, umm...how should i put this...BLACKNESS, i see names like thearmothug or thugette09 gimme a break, people have to learn that they are Armenian and not Black, it really that hard? all they have to do is look down at their arm, or look in the mirror, it's disgusting if you ask me.

                    Yes, the Black ArmoThug Syndrome is an epidemic indeed. I just hope it's a phase, and that they somewhat grow out of it. If they don't, then - how should I put this - we're f**ked backwards, forwards, and sideways. :shock:
