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.

    GEDIKIAN'S NEW FILM PICTURES REAL ARMENIA AND ARMENIANS

    French-Armenian film director Robert Gedikian arrived in Armenia to
    shoot his 14th film titled "Armenia". "One of the main aims of the
    film is to show things that people fail to see in daily life. The key
    thing is the idea of the film: to depict the life of the Armenians and
    their environment. This is a love story that may take place anywhere
    but in order to express my idea in whole we need to shoot it here
    because Armenia has appeared in the center of world affairs", Gedikian
    says.

    Armenian and French actors alike will star in the film. Main
    developments will unfold in Yerevan and some episodes will be shot at
    the monastery of Areni village and on the shore of Sevan Lake. Actress
    Aria Askarid, Gedikian's wife, will play the title role of Anna. "Anna
    who arrives in Armenia to find her father is notices the crying
    difference between the rich and the poor. This issue always interested
    and troubled me not only in Armenia but also elsewhere.

    Films dealing with human relations are understandable for all
    mankind. I want to show by this film that values existing in great
    countries exist in small countries too", the director says.

    Gedikian knows little about contemporary Armenian cinematography,
    mentions only the names of Sergey Parajanov and Artavazd Peleshian. He
    find out about his Armenian origin in childhood. "I was born in
    Marseilles where 10 percent of the population were Armenians. I knew
    about my Armenian roots since my childhood. But a mother tongue comes
    from mother, and my mother was German, that's why I speak not Armenian
    but German", he said.

    Robert Gedikian will take part in 2d Golden Apricot international film
    festival with 2 films shot last year -- "The Mars Field Stroller"
    dedicated to Fransoa Miteran and "My Father is an Engineer". All of
    his films were featured at the best film festivals of the world, and
    he is sure that the "Armenia" will share that fate. Gedikian, by the
    way, has already sold the film though shooting has not started yet. He
    is also the producer of the film and Paradiz Company is the
    pro-producer. The film will cost 2.5 million euros, which is a rather
    small sum for French films.

    "It is one of my principles to shoot not expensive films. I am doing a
    craftsman's work. In this film, I will depict the real picture of the
    Armenian life: beautiful buildings with untidy yards and ruined
    houses. I am well informed and know what's going on in Armenia. I
    think I have sufficient information about one of the most intolerable
    phenomena -- corruption", Gedikian says. During the film shooting he
    turns "dumb" till the end of the shooting, i.e. September 20. With
    this film that will be ready on the independence day, the film
    director wants to bring happiness to Armenia.
