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.

    PM Erdogan To Sue States Recognizing Armenian Genocide

    PM ERDOGAN TO SUE STATES RECOGNIZING ARMENIAN GENOCIDE





    First response of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan to Armenian President Robert Kocharian's speech during the Council of Europe summit in Warsaw came on May 16 "unscheduled" press conference and the second one on May 17. Upon his return from Warsaw, PM Erdogan gave his third response on May 18, this time at the sitting of Justice and Prosperity Party.

    In all of 3 retorts Erdogan repeats himself resisting Kocharian's speech and meanwhile threatening to sue the 15 states whose parliaments have taken decision of recognizing the Armenian Genocide. Being asked by his party members why he didn't immediately come back at the Armenian President, Erdogan said, "I was absent from the hall because of a bilateral meeting".

    Meanwhile, Turkish Prime Minister indirectly confirmed that the rumors about Armenia's readiness to withdraw from "7 regions of Nagorno Karabakh" are false. "The borders are closed. Azerbaijan has problems with Armenia. There are seven [occupied] territories. It's uncertain which one of the 7 regions they are going to leave", he said.

    Turkish Yeni Safaq newspaper informs in May 19 issue about the threats Erdogan made to European states. According to the paper, Erdogan said, "There are hitherto 15 parliaments that have taken decisions [on recognition]. We will put those countries on the scale. There are countries among them that have perpetuated genocides. We will counter those states with facts but not basing on lobbyists' activities and undercover talks and we will take appropriate decisions in our parliament. Why? Because Turkey has never been misled into committing a genocide. There is no way for it to be accepted. There may possible be death cases during the deportation. That's true. But why were they deported? Documents give clear answer: because a group of Armenians provoked by others revolted against the Ottomans who were waging war at 3 fronts".

    Turkish foreign minister Abdullah Gul confirms the fact of Erdogan's threats. As Milliyet informs in May 19 issue, Gul was asked during a program on Turkish private TV whether they are going to file a lawsuit against the states that recognized the Genocide. Gul Answered, "Yes, we will take that step against those countries. We are working in that direction. They should give an answer why they cast slurs upon us and whether they have grounds for that".

    Being asked whether there is such a court to apply, Gul said, "We have means for that. I don't want to go into details but scrupulous work is in progress".

    It's hard to say what the expectations of Turkish Prime Minister from accusing the Genocide recognizing states of having carried out genocides, moreover, from filing a lawsuit against them are. But it's clear that RA President Robert Kocharian left no chance for Erdogan to remove the issue of Armenian Genocide from Turkey's agenda by correspondence and by readiness for a meeting.

    Yeah go for it! Such actions will highlight the issue and the difference between civilized nations - who by and large accept their past misdeeds and misteps and Turkey. In fact though this is just blowing a lot of hot air. On what grounds does Turkey have a lawsuit and in what arena? There is no chance of this. But if the Turkish parliment wants to start condeming other nations for recognizing the Armenian Genocide they are only sharpening the scimitar that they shall impale themselves with - so I say go for it Turkey - make some noise - generate some press - and show the world your true colors!

      turkey is getting metaphorically Fvkked in the ass by the genocide issue and they know they arent gonna be able to sit down for a while yet. And this is just hilarious, im very surprised this issue didnt get any exposure in the foreign press, seems pretty damn sensational to me.
