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.

    But a red-bearded Armenian convert to Islam who went by the name Misha? I mean, that is a microscopic category so authorities shouldn't have a hard time tracking such a person down.

      The Associated Press talks to the family of the alleged Boston bombers, and uncovers clues about a mysterious Islamist Svengali


      Edit: according to this article, the parents say Misha is an Armenian from Azerbaijan

      Anzor and Zubeidat said Tamerlan had been influenced by an ethnic Armenian emigre from Azerbaijan whom they knew only by the name of Misha.

            Mysterious ‘Misha’ turns out to be half-Armenian, denies involvement in Boston bombings




            The mysterious Misha, thought to be the missing link in explaining the radicalization of Boston bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev, has broken his silence to speak out on Sunday, writes the New York Review of Books, whose correspondent has tracked down the man to his family home in Rhode Island.

            Accused by members of the Tsarnaev family of being the mastermind behind the marathon attacks which killed three and injured over 250 people, Misha, whose real name is Mikhail Allakhverdov has come forward in hope of setting the record straight.

            According to the source, the 39-year-old man, who is of Armenian-Ukranian descent and lives with an American girlfriend with his elderly parents, confirmed that he, indeed, was a convert to Islam, but roundly denied any part in Tamerlan, 26 and 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s murderous attacks.

            Allakhverdov said he did know Tamerlan in 2009, but wasn’t his teacher ever. “If I had been his teacher, I would have made sure he never did anything like this,” said Allakhverdov, whose father is an Armenian Christian and mother is an ethnic Ukrainian.

            “We love this country. We never expected anything like this to happen to us,” he added.

            Last week a prominent representative of the Armenian-American community slammed CNN and other media for speculating on the “Armenian trace” in the Boston bombings based on unverified information about an Armenian Moslem convert named Misha whom the suspects’ uncle called the guiding influence on the elder brother in developing his radicalized views.

            Mark Geragos, a well-known criminal defense attorney, said such speculation was an insult to Armenians everywhere. He also suggested that talk about an Armenian in the context of the Boston bombings suspiciously coincided with the week when Armenians around the world marked the 98th anniversary of the Ottoman-era massacres of more than 1.5 million Christian Armenians by Moslem Turks, which constituted the first genocide of the 20th century.

              LOL this just gets better by the day.

              Boston terror suspects uncle was married to CIA officer's daughter and even shared a home with the agent
              An uncle to the two Boston terror suspects was at one time married to the daughter of a CIA agent, it has emerged. Ruslan Tsarni, left, who denounced his nephews and branded them 'losers', was in the mid-90s married to a CIA agent's daughter.


              ‘Uncle Ruslan’ aided terrorists from CIA official’s home




              We have a mother that is a shoplifter. We have an uncle that works for the CIA. We have the brothers training in Georgia. Not to mention or overlook the fact that the Russians have warned both the FBI and CIA. Supposedly they were on a terror list, but managed to get first class tickets to Russia, Georgia, Turkey and god knows where else. We have a mythical red beard who was supposed to be an Armenian convert, now he is half Ukrainian. Give it another week he will have a green beard and be from Mars. All this on April 24th! How convenient.

                  This name is also a name used by tatars, or muslimised Armenians or Udis ++

                  Now, there is also:
                  There is Alavertian/Alahvertian

                  This might be reference to the town, or as very common phenomena under turkish yoke, litteral translation of common Armenian surname of Asdvadzadrian.
                  One of the rare major towns not yet renamed, and keeping turkish smelling Alahverdi (God given, Asdvadzadur)
                  The reason is local dispute on the name to give.
                  Some argue for Lalvar (the mountain chain dominaiting the town), others for Sanahin....
                  The town mainly developed at the end of XIX cent to early soviet years, (originally partly inhabited by turkish speaking Pontic Greeks, called in as specialist minors from Pontus), ended englobing de facto surrounding 3 villages, one of wich is the famous Sanahin....
