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.

    I really wouldn't be able to tell the difference between Shia and Sunni Arabic music. What i was referring to was what they play during Ashura Tasura. That's what this reminded me of. Though I left Iran 12 years ago, so again maybe I remember incorrectly.

      I don't know, it's possible. But there is a growing Salafi (reactionary Sunnis) presence in Azerbaijan that is worrying for the Aliyevs. A few of these Azeri Salafis were killed in Syria over the last year.

        The Shia also have Nasheed music. However it's defiantly Arab and the sort of thing that you would expect to hear in a Al-Qaeda propaganda video.

          It wouldn't surprise me if the Saudis are trying to export their crap to Azerbaijan. As the Shia are a real threat to the Sunnis demographically and they are very worried about them.

          Loads of Jihadists have been killed in Syria and that war has been going very badly for them.

            ...or it could just be that they wanted to include a song by the British singer Sami Yusuf, who performs Islamic vocal music? He is Iranian Azerbaijani.

              I don't think an Islamist regime, especially a Shia one, is one we should be hoping for in Azerbaijan. That will soon lead to another dicatorship, which will lead to more insane claims to Artsakh. More importantly, though there always gonna have territorial issues, it will no doubt drastically improve their relations with Iran.

              I think a democratic revolution would be the best case scenario because in that case they would be more reasonable in regards to the Artsakh situation and moreover, still have very poor relations with Iran.

              Hopefully Aliyev gets a few more years to drain their resources, and then loses power without any external war.

                And these video's make me appreciate living in the US more. Though you can criticize a lot of things about America, it will never be at the level of a child looking down in his street and seeing a hoard of thousands of a lord of the rings like army marching, yelling in some foreign language, and hitting themselves with a chain.

                    Yes, as retro said, it is not Turkish, or like anything you would hear in Turkey. But we do not know if it was on the original report (what is www.faktxeber.com?), or if the uploader put that music over the original report (who are the ACP Youth Organization?) or if the uploader took the video from a third-party site and they had put the music over the original footage. The "background" sound you hear under the music is certainly not the original background sound. And the video looks like people demonstrating against the suspicious deaths of soldiers - so it is not a religious demonstration.
