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.

      Re: Karabagh Referendum

      By the way I once jokingly told an Armenian friend of mine we Iranians can solve the Armenian-Azerbaijani dispute over Qarabag and Naxchivan by simply saying, "Hey you guys, before the Treaties of Gulistan (which is in Qarabag by the way) and Turkmenchay these were Iranian provinces why don't we Iranians take them back, and that way it'll be neither Armenian nor Azeri and there won't be anymore dispute...but I was just joking of course"...but back to reality, Azerbaijan is a threat to Iran's stability and territorial integrity, and I am glad there is an Armenia to neutralize it. I am also glad that Zangezur is in Armenian hands...that way Azerbaijan proper is cut off from Nakhchivan, and Naxchivan is conveniently trapped between Iran and Armenia, and except for a 7 mile border with Turkey, Nakhchivan is more or less dependent on Iran, given Armenia's blockade of Nakhchivan. Last time Azerbaijan tried screwing around with us Iranians, we cut off electricity to Nakhchivan. They learned pretty quick after that. I think Armenia was smart to take over Lachin...this was necessary for territorial contiguity between Qarabag and Armenia...nothing serves the interests of us Iranians more than a weak Azerbaijan...we need Russia and Armenia's help in this matter.

              you do realize you just insulted Armenians don't you? If that is how its going to be, why don't we go another step further back and place lake Urmia-historically armenian-back under Armenian rule?

              I'm glad to see that you're upto date with the current affairs of the world. The Azeri-Turk menance is truly a threat to Iran, Armenia, and the entire region.

              And it was the politically naieve Shah which gave the piece of land linking Nakhijevan with Turkey. What a stupid mistake. The Turks were pursuing pan-turanic politicies right under his nose and the shah let them have it. must have not understood that if Armenia goes, Iran will be surrounded completely by Turks to the north, from where they will base their attacks to "liberate" "south azerbaijan".


              Fortunately, Iran today is a politically matured state with a strong and powerful ruler who isn't going let anyone make a puppet out of it for their self-interests.

                Federation...you misunderstood the humor...and it was not meant as an insult...nor is any modern day Iranian making claims to any part of Armenia...NO Iranian is saying because Yerevan was an Iranian-ruled khanate it belongs to us, NO Iranian is saying that about Karabakh or Armenia proper...we respect your history, your territorial integrity and your people. I had no idea you would be so sensitive, but at the same time, please realize it was a joke between an Armenian friend of mine and myself. By the way, today's Urmia has become a highly contested piece of real estate between Armenians, Azerbaijanis and Kurds...today it is mostly Kurdish and Azerbaijani populated and both are fighting over it. Politically, it is the capital of Iran's West Azerbaijan Province today, but the battle between ethnic Azeris and Kurds over it continues. Then you have the Kurdish-Armenian dispute over Kars...but as long as Kars is being ruled by Turkey, infighting between Armenians and Kurds will not produce any results, and will not help either Kurds or Armenians, both of whom have gotten a raw deal from Turks and Turkey. Please Federation, we have no outstanding issues with Armenia...we are friends.

                  Iran Forever:

                  Historically, Iranians are the closest relatives of the Armenian people. Therefore I have a tremendous amount of respect for the Iranian people. Moreso given the fact that Armenians were able to preserve their language, culture, and national identity within Iran for over 500 years. I view Iran as an important country for the future settlement of the Armenian Case. Currently the interests of our countries are one and the same: We both have the same enemies.

                  I still have not forgotten when the Iranian war ships gave those Azeris a scare in the Caspian.

                  Cheers to Armenian-Iranian relations!
