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.

  • Armenian Teen Slain on Train

    Every few weeks, an Armenian is slain by racist Russians. The Russian government doesn't care, and isn't condemning most of these racially motivated murders. How should the Armenians of Russia react to these criminal acts?

    Here's the latest:

    Armenian Teen Slain on Train
    By Carl Schreck
    Staff Writer

    A group of young men yelling "Glory to Russia" stabbed an Armenian teenager to death last week on a crowded commuter train, prosecutors and the lawyer of the victim's family said Tuesday.

    Prosecutors are classifying the fatal attack as a hate crime.

    Artur Sardaryan, 19, was on the train at about 11 p.m. Thursday when he was approached by the assailants and repeatedly stabbed in the chest with a knife, said Yelena Rossokhina, a spokeswoman for the Moscow region prosecutor's office.

    There were thought to be about 20 people on the train, heading from Moscow to the city of Pushkino, at the time of the attack.

    No suspects had been detained as of Tuesday.

    "According to witnesses, the killers were yelling, 'Glory to Russia' and 'Long live Russia,'" said Simon Tsaturyan, the Sardaryan family's lawyer.

    Tsaturyan said the attackers pulled the train's emergency lever after stabbing Sardaryan and fled the scene. Sardaryan died on the spot, Tsaturyan said.

    Tsaturyan said he did not know why it took the authorities five days before issuing any public statements about the stabbing. Rossokhina did not comment on the time lag.

    Sardaryan was a Russian citizen.

    The killing came one month after a 17-year-old ethnic Armenian was stabbed to death on the platform of the Pushkinksaya metro station in central Moscow.


    There have been numerous hate crimes across the country in recent months, with victims including Africans, Central Asians and other dark-skinned people. President Vladimir Putin, in his Victory Day speech earlier this month, linked skinheads and other violent extremists with the fascists of the previous century.

    On April 23, a group of young people attacked Vagan Abramyants, with one of them stabbing him with a knife in the chest. Abramyants died at the scene. One student was detained but was released after police failed to find enough evidence to charge him.

    Tsaturyan, who is also representing Abramyants' family, said there had been no breakthroughs in the investigation of last month's slaying. Abramyants was also a Russian citizen.

    Ara Abramyan, head of the Union of Armenians in Russia, called Thursday's slaying a "clear provocation" ahead of the G8 summit in St. Petersburg "by the forces of evil that don't want the democratic and civilized development of Russia," Interfax reported Tuesday.

    Abramyan said Armenians had not been singled out. "Fascists don't choose people by their ethnicity," he told Interfax. "They choose their victims according to the color of their skin and eyes."

    Abramyan said his organization would organize a conference on hate crimes by mid-July. The conference would include representatives from civic organizations and law enforcement officials.

    "We believe it's necessary to organize a round table as soon as possible to discuss the problem of xenophobia and cultivating tolerance," Abramyan told Interfax.

    According to Tsaturyan, Sardaryan and his family fled anti-Armenian pogroms in Baku, Azerbaijan, in 1989. Artur Sardaryan obtained Russian citizenship in 1992.

              Chauvinistic Russians, especially those who aren't educated enough, don't observe a distinction between non-Russians who come from the "south" or who have Oriental looks.

                  How are Armenians NOT Aryan (Indo-European). Stop talking nonsense.

                  This whole sociological mess in Russia today has nothing to do with Aryans per say, its simply a matter of Russian hatred towards peoples of the Caucasus and a barbaric attempt to rid the country of foreigners. If Armenians are being specifically targeted now, then I would suspect faul play: Someone wants to damage relations between Armenia and Russia.

                  I don't know when the Armenians of Russia, over two million strong, are going to wake up and do something about this. Perhaps if a few Russian street punks get killed by Armenians, the Russian authorities will take these criminal occurances more seriously.

                  What's important here, however, is to protect Armenians in Russia without falling victim to numerous manipulators who want to ruin the close strategic relationship that exists between Russia and Armenia. Rest assured, Turks, J-e-w-s, and all in between, will use these events as a means to drive a wedge between Yerevan and Moscow.
