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.

              Chirac calls for Turkey to recognise WW1 Armenian genocide

              President Jacques Chirac has begun a two day visit to Armenia. The French leader paid his respects at a monument to thousands of people who were killed in the area during the World War One. Chirac used the occasion to urge Turkey to recognise the 1915 to 1919 massacres at the hands of the former Ottoman Turk regime. He said "All countries grow up acknowledging their dramas and their errors." According to Armenian sources, more than 1.5 million people died in mass killings and deportations. They claim the deaths amounted to genocide. But Turkey, which wants to be a member of the EU, continues to reject this and says the total number of deaths were nearer a quarter- of- million and sparked by an internal conflict.

              France Attaches Importance to Armenia-EU Relations

              “I am for the first time in Armenia, but your country is close and familiar to France. I hope that the Square of France will become the square of peace,” French President Jacques Chirac said at a joint press conference with the RA President in Yerevan. In his words, Armenia’s opinion on the region is important for France. “We attach great attention to the Armenia-EU relations and the development of bilateral relations especially in the economic and cultural fields. Armenia is capable to overcome the economic challenges and become a state attractive for investments,” the French President said. Source: http://www.panarmenian.net/news/eng/?nid=19464

              Vive l’ Armenie: Armenia’s year in France to be launched this weekend

              Under the slogan “Armenie, mon amie” the friendship between France and Armenia will be sealed in gala celebrations and ceremonies this weekend when “The Year of Armenia in France” is launched. {ai174001.jpg|left}France’s President Jacques Chirac – making his first visit to the South Caucasus -- will lead a delegation of celebrities and officials. Beloved singer Charles Aznanour and his friends from the music world will offer an open air concert.

              The independence days of Armenia and France – September 21st 2006 and July 14th 2007 respectively – have been chosen to symbolize opening and the closure of the year of Armenia in France. Dedicated to the event, the square connecting Mashtots, Baghramyan and Sayat Nova avenues will be named in honor of France. The delegation of guests include at least four ministers and the Mayor of Paris, and the directors of the Louvre and Musee d’Orsey.

              The French will reciprocate on October 18, when a concert will be held in Paris, honoring the 15th anniversary of Armenia’s independence. Armenia’s Ambassador to France (home to 450, 000 Armenian Diaspora), Edward Nalbandyan, says some 500 events are planned for 125 cities and town in France over the coming months. “Armenian culture will be introduced even in places where there is not a single Armenian, let alone an Armenian community, but where there is interest towards Armenians and Armenia,” says Nalbandyan.

              An exhibition titled “Holy Armenia” will open in the Louvre to present unique items from Echmiadzin, the Matenadaran and the Museum of History of Armenia. For the first time ever, 40 khachkars (cross stones) will be taken to France to be exposed for viewing in Paris. The year will include exhibitions of renowned Armenian artists, photographers, old and new Armenian films; jazz, pop and classic music will also be performed throughout the year.

              {ai174002.jpg|right}Vigen Sargsyan, the Assistant/Aide to the President of Armenia and the Commissioner for the Organization of the Year of Armenia in France, says a planned visit of Armenian children to France is an important and interesting event. “Throughout the year 1,000 children from Armenia will visit France and will live in local families to get acquainted with the culture and the lifestyle of France. This is the way of setting grounds for enriching human communication that warrants the development of friendship of the two nations,” says Sargsyan.

              The Senate of France and its National Assembly have allotted 100,000 Euros to cover the planned travel expenses of the children. Revenues from an Aznavour concert in Paris will also be used for the fulfillment of the program. The year of Armenia in France will end up next September with a concert devoted to Aram Khachaturyan and Maurice Ravel.
