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.

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.

    Death to Armenian traitors...
    probably a Levon-Ter Petrosyan supporter

    At a small gathering, after the May 7 lecture, Akcam disclosed for the first time an alarming incident that had taken place in 1995, following a talk he had delivered on the Armenian Genocide in Yerevan. At the last minute, he had cautiously decided to give a milder version of his prepared remarks. Upon his return to Istanbul, he was shocked when confronted at the airport by Turkish police who had in their possession the harsher version of his talk. He had handed that original version to Armenian officials -- the organizers of the Genocide conference. Someone in Armenia must have leaked his text to the Turkish authorities. Dr. Akcam was able to save his neck from Turkish intelligence agents by showing them the copy of the milder speech that he had actually delivered!

      Kurds In Serious Danger In Armenia?

      KURDS IN SERIOUS DANGER IN ARMENIA?
      by Anna Israyelyan

      Aravot
      May 5 2010
      Armenia

      In response to a document circulated by the Azerbaijani delegation
      at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe [PACE], the
      editor-in-chief of a Kurdish paper says that it is Azerbaijan where
      a policy of estrangement is carried out against Kurds.

      As Aravot reported, a member of the Azerbaijani delegation at the
      PACE, Rafael Huseynov, circulated a document No 12227 at the assembly
      on 28 April. Nineteen delegates from Germany, Spain, Italy, Austria,
      Sweden, Greece and other countries signed this document to make it a
      draft resolution. The document, entitled "Armenia's determination to
      become a mono-ethnic state and to implement a policy against national
      minorities", states that many representatives of national minorities
      have slowly left Armenia over the past decades.

      "At present, 42,000 Kurds, which make up the largest ethnic minority,
      are in serious danger. After Armenians recently decapitated four Kurds
      in Yerevan, the Federation of Yezidis of Kurdistan issued a statement,
      telling international news agencies that the above mentioned bloody
      murder was politically motivated and that it was part of a policy
      of persecution and isolation against Kurds. Hundreds of Kurds held a
      rally in front of the Armenian embassy in [Georgian capital] Tbilisi
      on 20 April 2010 in protest against this policy," the document read.

      Grishae Mamen (Chatoyev), editor-in-chief of the Kurdish paper Ria
      Taza which has been published in Yerevan for 80 years now, answered
      our questions about the information reported by the Azerbaijani
      delegation at the PACE. He said: "I would like to say right from
      the beginning that it does not correspond to reality. First of all,
      the killing of the mentioned four persons took place not in Yerevan
      but in one of the villages in Abovyan [a district in Armenia], in Nor
      Geghi if I am not mistaken, and this was a domestic crime. I should
      say that the law-enforcement entities solved it in less than three
      days and the perpetrators (as far as I know, they were two brothers)
      were sentenced to life in prison. It is totally wrong to interpret that
      as a crime with political motives". The editor did not know anything
      about a rally held in front of the Armenian embassy in Georgia. "I
      have no information, but I do not believe [the information is true]".

      Mamen added: "Those 'brotherly' Azeris - let them watch themselves.

      According to the last census held in the Soviet Union in 1989,
      70,000 or more Kurds lived in Armenia. According to our information,
      at least 700,000 to 800,000 Kurds should be living in Azerbaijan. But
      they were simply put under the name of 'other nationalities', and
      it turns out that there are no Kurds there. There has been no war,
      no earthquake or flood in Azerbaijan. So what has happened to those
      Kurds? A policy of estrangement has been carried out," he said.

      Asked if he agrees with the statement in the above mentioned document
      that at present the 42,000 Kurds living in Armenia are in serious
      danger, the editor-in-chief of Ria Taza paper answered: "I would
      advise them [the Azerbaijani delegation] to give at least a couple of
      examples when they speak of serious danger. Of course, our community
      does have numerous needs. There are numerous shortcomings. However,
      these difficulties are common for all residents of Armenia."

        Alright, a simple calculation. Around 25% of the population has left Armenia sinds 1989, 0.25*70000 = 17500, so around 70000-17500=52500 ''Kurds'' should live in Armenia today. Their number is about 42000, which comes fairly close to the above mentioned calculation.

        Conclusion; Azeris have the thinking capacity of a baboon (sorry baboon).



        By the way, you guys should watch AZTV (if you can understand farsi, turkish). Everytime I watch their channel, I understand why these monkeys can't win a war against us (not on their own at least). Really, the IQ of their analytical experts is dramatically low, everything they say is just nonsense and as their population is so stupid and can't think for themselves, they take everything for granted. If the oil runs out (exhausted within 20 years), the country will be in a chaos as they have no other source of income (population is too stupid and there is no tourist potential).

          Today.Az » Society » Armenians send mines to Azerbaijani territory via the water flows?

          13 May 2010 [17:06] - Today.Az



          A monitoring was held on the contact line between Armenian and Azerbaijani armies under mandate of the OSCE in the Gapanli village of Azerbaijan today. The OSCE representatives visited the Terter Region Administration before the monitoring.

          During the meeting the OSCE representatives were reported that the settlements of the region regularly come under fire by Armenian forces. Since February 8, when the last monitoring was held in this area, the ceasefire was violated 123 times. The shelling lasted for half an hour on average. Two soldiers of Azerbaijani Armed Forces died while retaliating.

          OSCE representatives were also told that Armenians send unexploded ordnance and mines to territories controlled by Azerbaijan through water flows that have emerged recently due to heavy rains. Five mines have been detected in the Tartar and Khachin Rivers over the last 20 days. The mines were defused by the Azerbaijan National Agency for Mine Action.

              Surely this must be traceable, specially by intelligence.
              Politics is not about the pursuit of morality nor what's right or wrong
              Its about self interest at personal and national level often at odds with the above.

                Analysis: Azeri President makes claims on “historically Azeri” Yerevan along with Nagorno Karabakh



                Aliyev claims that the Armenian state was established on historically Azeri lands.
                By ARIS GHAZINYAN

                Since early this year Azeri authorities have started shifting their focus in Armenian-Azeri relations from Karabakh to the historic past of Armenia’s capital Yerevan.

                No doubt, the issue of Nagorno Karabakh continues holding top positions in the dispute, however, one can’t help noticing the increasing tendency of talks in Baku now claiming that the Armenian capital “belongs to Azerbaijan”.

                In February, the ruling Yeni Azerbaijan political party presented a book titled “Irevan khanate” which “proved” that Yerevan belongs to Azerbaijan.

                Deputy chairman of the party Ali Ahmedov stressed during the presentation that “the book contains valid proofs of Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev’s statement that the capital of Armenia Yerevan is an Azeri land; it is also a response to his appeal not to forget about temporarily lost Azeri lands” (as reported by Azeri news agency Day.az).

                Following this, in April, other Azeri news agencies published Aliyev’s statement.

                “Armenians have a state, however, that state was established on historically Azeri lands. It is common knowledge. Immediately after proclaiming its independence in 1918 the Democratic Republic of Azerbaijan made a decision to give Irevan to Armenia as their capital,” Open.Az cites the president.

                Statements such as this cannot be accidental. Azerbaijan’s purpose of doing so is to demonstrate to the international community the futility of any effort aimed at granting independence to Nagorno Karabakh.

                “The artificial shift of stresses is aimed at demonstrating to the world that Baku can somehow tolerate Armenia’s existence even if on Azeri lands, with a historically Azeri city as its capital, however it has no intentions of reconciling to Nagorno Karabakh’s independence,” says political analyst Garegin Gabriyelyan. “That’s the reason why it keeps showing readiness to reclaim Karabakh at any cost.”

                The unexpected replication of such statements by Azeri ambassadors testifies the approbation of a new approach to the Karabakh issue. On May 9 Azerbaijan’s ambassador to Russia, composer Polad Bulbuloglu made bellicose statements.

                And on May 13, Mikail Rahimov, chairman of the Supreme Majlis of the United People’s Front Party of Azerbaijan, stated that “the world community has to pressure Armenia to force that aggressor-state to return the occupied lands to Azerbaijan. And if that doesn’t happen in the nearest future, the Karabakh issue will be solved by means of a war”.

                No less than thirty times within this year only has the Azeri president officially stated about the possibility of resuming hostilities and a few times about “Irivan and Zangezur belonging to Azerbaijan”.

                These tactical alterations related to the settlement of the Karabakh issue taken up by Azerbaijan did not pass unnoticed by the Armenian side, which, in its turn, made a number of principally new statements.

                For the first time in the past 16 years NKR representative have stated that the war Baku so frequently speaks about is, actually, in Armenia’s interests.

                NKR Defense Minister, Lieutenant General Movses Hakobyan stated that “resumption of the war is not in Azerbaijan’s interests and is, on the contrary, favorable for us, because we can easily carry out the task we have set. I think, in that case we will once and for all solve the Karabakh-Azerbaijan conflict. ”

                Never before has that thought been officially voiced, and it is quite possible, that new statements from the Armenian side will follow soon.

                It seems we will hear some other new statements in the nearest future as well.

                  Armenia uses Azerbaijani occupied territories for transition of narcotic drugs, the Azerbaijani State Customs Committee head, being on a visit to Finland, said.

                  "Azerbaijani territory, occupied by Armenia, refers to an uncontrolled zone. They are used for transition of drugs, smuggling, transportation of cultural and historical values," the committee chairman Aydin Aliyev said at the meeting with Chief Director of the National Board of Finnish Customs Tapani Erling, the Azerbaijani State Customs Committee said.

                  Aliyev said that relations between Azerbaijan's State Customs Committee and relevant institutions of Turkey, Russia, Iran and Georgia are developing at a high level. It is impossible to establish cooperation with Armenian customs, which occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijani territory, he said.
                  Haha, this sentence is just hilarious ''transportation of cultural and historical values''. We ''transport'' historical values, evil Armenians!

                      Azerbaijan condemns decision of Karabakh separatists to hold "elections"
                      Sat 15 May 2010 | 05:13 GMT Text size:

                      MFA of Azerbaijan
                      Azerbaijan calls on Armenia to stop its destructive steps.

                      Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement concerning the so-called 'parliament elections' being arranged by the unrecognized separatist regime in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan.

                      The statement says:

                      'According to the reports circulated by the mass media outlets of the Republic of Armenia so-called “parliament elections” are being arranged to take place in the Nagorno-Karabakh region of the Republic of Azerbaijan on 23 May 2010.

                      The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan reiterates in this regard that the unrecognized separatist regime in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan represents nothing but an illegal structure established by Armenia on the basis of ethnic cleansing of Azerbaijani population. The so-called "elections" are conducted in order to camouflage the annexation policy of Armenia and are aimed at consolidation of the results of the continued occupation of the Azerbaijani territories.

                      Conduct of such "elections" gravely violates the relevant provisions of the Constitution of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the norms and principles of international law, since they are held in absence of the original Azerbaijani population of the Nagorno-Karabakh region, and, therefore shall have no legal effect whatsoever.

                      Any kind of elections in the Nagorno-Karabakh region of the Republic of Azerbaijan may be recognized as fair and free once the expelled Azerbaijani population takes full, direct and equal part in their conduct in lawful and democratic environment equally to the Armenian population of the region. Holding such elections will be possible after the withdrawal of the Armenian occupying forces, normalization of life in the region, creation of necessary conditions for restoration of the dialogue and cooperation between the Armenian and Azerbaijani communities of Nagorno-Karabakh.

                      The Republic of Azerbaijan calls upon the Armenian side to stop its destructive practice of illegal steps, which does not have any prospects, and instead to demonstrate a good will and take a constructive position in the negotiation process, which has dynamically evolved through the last year, in order to find a soonest and durable solution to the conflict on the basis of the norms and principles of international law."
