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.

    Listen here, dumb-dumb. These "silly" communists build the Armenia, not just the Yerevan you know but everything in it as well, plus the whole of the republic.

    These "silly" communists were Armenians and most of them were not less patriotic than any other Armenian from the West, in fact they were much more patriotic then all of these so-called nationalists.

    So, don't you dare again to rubbish the good and honourable Armenian communists of the past who loved their country.
    Is this what you call a reply? And you call me dumb dumb? Now you are banned.

          The Bolsheviks couldn't have done anything for that, the Russian army was too weak plus the Tzar never cared for us. Had we went to the Russian Empire, he would have settled Western Armenia with loyal Kosacks, this was written in their secret archives that were released after the Revolution.

            Its one thing to appreciate Communism and its ideals, and another to praise the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union wasn't a Communist country, it was a traditional empire led by an autocratic figure (if it was a real union, countries would join voluntarily like the EU instead of being attacked and annexed by the Red Army). All other political parties were banned, you couldn't talk about the genocide, doctors get paid the same as janitors, etc. Bolsheviks fought against the same Russian Empire which was helping us fight against the Ottomans, and our country collapsed as a result.

            And how much of our land did the Soviets give away to our enemies? Karabagh, Nakhichevan, Kars, Ardahan, etc.

            Thats not to say nothing good came from the Soviets. They turned an agrarian society into an industrialized one, repopulated Armenia, protected us from Turkey, and saved those suffering from famine in the early 1920's. However, all the people that Stalin killed through his policies, and all the Armenians lost due to fighting stupid wars for the Soviets is probably a similar number to those who would have died from famine.

            And you could argue that if the Bolsheviks didn't make the Russian Empire collapse during WW1, we wouldnt need protection from Turkey in the present day.

              We presently need protection from Turkey?! Why?

                Well we don't at the moment, since we have Russia patrolling our borders for us, and we have a treaty with them in which they will help us incase we are invaded.

                But imagine if Armenia didn't have regional powers to back us up... would we really be safe surrounded by states like Turkey and Azerbaijan? During the Karabagh conflict, Turkey put 50,000 of its troops near the Armenian border, and the only thing stopping them from invading was a potential war with Russia.

                    VIVA MAY 1 AND ACP’
                    01 May, 2007

                    On May 1, Armenian Communist Party is celebrating International Solidarity Labor Day. Today, Armenian communists and little pioneers directed to the monument to Stepan Shahumyan via Mashtots avenue, Amiryan street, and Republican Square. They were marching under a Soviet music holding Soviet Armenian red flag, 'Viva Armenian Communist Party: people's only hope' and similar posters, and balloons.

                    As to the participants, about 1000 communist activists from different marzes were here to participate in the meeting.

                    A group of 60 people headed the march; they were followed by Ruben Tovmasyan, ACP central committee and ACP Young team and other party members. To note, a pioneer called Margar handed Comrade Tovmasyan ' The picture of Lenin Granny on a red flag' to express his love and respect towards ACP. All the participants had red bands on their chests. Others were holding red carnations as a ' red symbol' of Communism.

                    The passers-by would stop astound for a moment, then smiled them good-bye and remember their green years.

                    The communists did not lose time and chance to preach and make similar announcements like ' Be with communists and save Armenia!', ' Let's vote for ACP on May 12!' This is how Comrade Tovmasyan commented on the issue,' We did not make use of the advantage. Today everybody speaks about elections. It was very logical to speak about the elections especially today. Once again we wanted to attract our proponents' and members' attention and make them focus on the issue of vital necessity.'

                    In answer to the question whether ACP would be able to surpass the 5% election barrier in the forthcoming NA elections, Comrade Tovmasyan mentioned,” I do not assume, we are to overcome this barrier. We’ll become the opposition to care for every single stone, every single street, as it was us to create it. It was us to have built all this.”
