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.

    But "Khar" does mean donkey, though I don't know in what language it is. The reason Elazig is called Elazig and not Yeni Harput is because someone told the Turks that "Har" means donkey (i.e. they thought "Kharput" meant "castle of donkeys".)

      Bell-the-cat, is right, Xhar does means donkey (in Farsi). That's why they say "tork-e-xhar". It is to mean stupid but it's like saying "Jackass Turk" in English. And it's a lot more than just "a" joke ... much like there are polish jokes in English or "Abarantsi" jokes in Armenian, the "tork-e-xhar" theme is quite prevelant and is a part of the Iranian culture. And not just in jokes, it could be used as part of daily conversations to refer to "those" people

                The belief that Azeris are a Turkic people is baseless and laughable.

                In the 11th century A.D. with Seljukid conquests, Oghuz Turkic tribes started moving across the Iranian plateau into the Caucasus and Anatolia. The influx of the Oghuz and other Turkmen tribes was further accentuated by the Mongol invasion.[1] Here, the Oghuz tribes divided into various smaller groups, some of whom – mostly Sunni – moved to Anatolia (i.e., the Ottomans) and became settled, while others remained in the Caucasus region and later ... from 13th century onwards they gradually Turkified the Iranian-speaking populations of Azerbaijan, thus creating a new identity based on Shiism and the use of Oghuz Turkic. However, it is notable that the Turkification of Azaris was completed only by the late 1800s, while the old Iranic speakers can still be found in tiny isolated recesses of the mountains or other remote areas (such as Harzand, Galin Guya, Shahrud villages in Khalkhal and Anarjan). Today, this Turkic-speaking population is also known as Azeris.[2]
                The Iranian origins of the Azeris likely derive from ancient Iranic tribes, such as the Medes in Iranian Azarbaijan, and Scythian invaders who arrived during the eighth century BCE. It is believed that the Medes mixed with Mannai.[3]
                A recent study of the genetic landscape of Iran was completed by a team of Cambridge geneticists led by Dr. Maziar Ashrafian Bonab (an Iranian Azarbaijani).[4][5] The study found that the Azerbaijanis of Iran do not have a similar FSt and other genetic markers found in Anatolian and European Turks. However, the genetic Fst and other genetic traits like MRca and mtDNA of Iranian Azeris were identical to Persians in Iran.

                  Hello Azar

                  The Persians need to revolt against there evil, slant eyed Asiatic masters.

                  The Azeris in Iran may well of intergrated themselves into Iranian society. However they aren't Iranic in origin, but like most Middle Easterners are decidedly mixed.

                  Although the Persians like the Turks had a empire and many Turkic people where influenced by Persia long before the Turk conquered Persia. Asiatic haplogroups account for almost 40% of Iranian Azeris paternal ancestry (which is even more than Turkish "Turks").

                  The original Turks were a Mongoloid people and not from Central Asia, which at one time was Indo-European, but rather Eastern Siberia and China.

                  Turkic is a admixture between Mongoloid (Mongol) and to a lesser degree Caucasoid (Indo-European/Ugric) peoples. However it's far more complicated than that. As even many Mongol people have Caucasoid ancestry and lots of Indo-European/Ugric, people where originally Turkic or Mongol people, who migrated west and became more Caucasoid.

                  Azeris Iranic/Mesopotamian markers such as R1a/J2 but not enough to be Indo-Iranic. The Greeks, Persians, Armenians, Assyrians and Lebanese on the other hand all certainly have links to ancient Persia/Mesopotamian.

                  Azeris in Northern Iran Y-DNA haplogroups are distributed as follows:

                  Q (9.09%)
                  N (6.06%)
                  O (3.03%)
                  C3 (3.03%)
                  R1a1 (3.03%)
                  R1a (3.03%)
                  R1*(3.03%)
                  L (3.03%)
                  J2a (3.03%)
                  J1 (9.095)
                  J2b1 (15.05%)
                  J2b1b (3.03%)
                  J2b (3.03%)
                  R1b1a (15.15%)
                  R2 (3.03%)
                  G2 (12.12%)
                  G1 (3.03%)


                  Interestingly Azeri Turks have around Y-DNA R1b 15% and Anatolian Turks have even more R1b around 20%. Which is likely Anatolian Celtic ancestry. However with Turks it's very hard to know as R1b can also be a Turkic marker.

                    Azeris are not of Turkic origin, they're of Iranic origin, they were Turkified in the 9th century through invasions and expansions.



                    Thanks for the information, mate.

                      Persians consider Azerbaijanis (from Azerbajian) Turkefied Iranians. Some even consider themselves as having some Turkic blood.
