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.

    Joseph Knollenberg: Before Entering EU Turkey Must Respect Armenia
    08.12.2006 13:48 GMT+04:00
    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ “Turkey must fulfill its commitments and gain economic, political and regional progress for entering EU,” yesterday in the House of Representatives stated Joseph Knollenberg, the Co-Chair of Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues. In his words, it is a well-known fact that the regional policy of Turkey causes strain in the South Caucasus region and unfairly harms the welfare of their neighbor country, Armenia. “The European Union has repeatedly called for the Turkish Blockade of Armenia to cease as well as normalization of relations between the countries. These two pre-conditions to entering the EU have been blatantly ignored by Turkey. The blockade, now in its thirteenth year, is the only blockade of a fellow Council of Europe state, and is simply unacceptable. I implore the EU to stand firm in their recommendations to Turkey in order to ensure these unfair economic practices are eliminated,” Knollenberg said.

    In his words, Armenia is a friend of the United States; “they are a friend to many countries throughout the world. Yet, Turkey refuses to see the good Armenia brings to the South Caucasus region. This refusal has led to fierce tension within the region, as well as unjust economic outcomes that only harm Armenia. Before Turkey can become a member of the European Union, they must first acknowledge their mistakes, foster cooperation in the South Caucasus region, and respect their neighbor, Armenia.” “I encourage the European Parliament to consider the ramifications of Turkey's actions before granting them membership to the EU. The purpose of the European Union is to create cooperation between nations with similar interests. Turkey, with a history of bullying nations does not belong in this membership until they change their ways,” stated Joseph Knollenberg, the Co-Chair of Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues.

    Turkish Expert: No One Will Deny that EU Likes Armenia More than Turkey
    08.12.2006 18:32 GMT+04:00
    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ There are some common features between the Cypriot and Nagorno Karabakh issues, said executive director of a Turkish research fund, expert on the EU Mansur Akgun. The UN will ‘adopt resolutions on these conflicts, he added. “Although the Security Council has several resolutions on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict no one, including the EU can make Armenia implement them. There are two reasons for it. Armenia doesn’t wish to join the EU and that is why the EU cannot exert any pressure on Armenia. On the other hand the EU sympathizes with Armenia and nobody will deny that the European Union likes Armenia more than us,” he said, reports Azeri Press.

      I don't think most Armenians are interested in a popularity contest with Turks. I posted these articles to share some news and possible positive signs of sympathy and support for Armenian issues.
