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.

    Turkish army accuses Armenia, tensions rise
    Fri Oct 13, 2006 4:10pm ET

    ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkey's military said on Friday Armenian soldiers fired
    into its territory two days ago amid an escalation in tensions after France's
    passage of a law making it a crime to deny Armenians suffered genocide by
    Ottoman Turks.
    The powerful General Staff called on the Foreign Ministry to investigate the
    incident on the border on October 11, which it said caused no injuries or
    material damage.
    "Turkish soldiers came under harassing fire from Armenian territories on the
    Turkey-Armenia border on October 11, 2006," the Turkish General Staff said in
    a statement.
    Turkey closed its border with the ex-Soviet republic of Armenia in 1993 to
    protest against Yerevan's occupation of territory inside Azerbaijan, a
    Turkic-speaking ally of Ankara.

    Ties have also been strained by claims by Armenia that some 1.5 million of
    its people suffered genocide from 1915 to 1923 on Ottoman territory.
    Turkey denies any genocide, saying the Armenians were victims of a partisan
    war that also claimed many Muslim Turkish lives. Turkey accuses Armenians of
    carrying out massacres while siding with invading Russian troops.
    The military's statement comes a day after France's lower house of parliament
    approved a law making it a crime to deny the genocide. France is home to
    Europe's largest Armenian diaspora.
    Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan warned on Friday that European Union-applicant
    Turkey was studying retaliatory measures against France following approval of
    the law, which still needs the senate and President Jacques Chirac's
    approval.
    Turkey's problems with Armenia have always threatened to complicate Ankara's
    entry talks with the EU, which expects all member states to have good
    relations with their neighbours.
