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.

    Re: Ministry of Diaspora

    23 thousand people left Armenia in 2008
    28.01.2009 21:18 GMT+04:00 Print version Send to mail In Russian In Armenian

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Substantial increase in migration was fixed in 2008, according to the migration agency at the RA ministry of territorial administration.

    The Armenian state border was crossed 2 mln 817 thousand times last year. The number of leaving people exceeded the number of those arriving with 23 059.

    It has been the worst index since 2001 when 60 thousand people left the republic. At that, the largest human drain was fixed in March-April, after the tragic events that followed the February presidential election.

    It’s also reported that 600 thousand people visited Armenia as tourists. They were mostly Armenians from the United States, France, Georgia and Iran.

      Most that left for work will have to return as there is no work anywhere due to the current world economic crisis and the ones that left for political reasons (very few) well good riddance!
      For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
      to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.

        Great article about solidarity between Armenia and the diaspora.

        Armenia and diaspora alike pursue affirmation

        Published: Thursday February 05, 2009

        Speaking of efforts to improve relations between Armenia and Turkey, the Turkish prime minister said a few days ago, "The Armenian diaspora is plotting."

        The Turkish government could "see very clearly and sharply" that the diaspora is "utilizing" against Turkey the issue of the Genocide, he said. "This is obvious. But I also see that the current administration in Armenia doesn't take part in this" (Today's Zaman, Jan. 29).

        Is there any truth to the prime minister's assertion?

        Is the quest for universal affirmation of the Armenian Genocide primarily the diaspora's issue? Are Armenia and the diaspora are at odds over this issue? Does Armenia not support universal affirmation of the genocide?

        The prime minister certainly knows that almost the entire population of Armenia comes out every April 24 to make the pilgrimage to the Armenian Genocide memorial at Tzitzernakaberd. And that Armenia's national security strategy explicitly calls for pursuing universal affirmation. But perhaps he wants us to think that "the current administration in Armenia" doesn't really take this commitment seriously.

        A fund-raising event in Dubai on February 2 showed clearly that the Turkish prime minister was mistaken.

        What was remarkable about the event, organized by the Armenian Revolutionary Federation in support of its advocacy activities in Europe and the Middle East, was the range of support it got from Armenia.

        First, the fund-raiser was supported by the president of Armenia, Serge Sargsian. In a letter dated January 25, Mr. Sargsian reminded participants in the event of the importance of united support for "our collective national goals," including the "international recognition of the Armenian Genocide."

        Second, the head of the Prosperous Armenia Party, a prosperous entrepreneur, attended the event and made a significant donation.

        Thus, the heads of the two political parties with the largest delegations in the National Assembly - the president's Republican Party of Armenia and the Prosperous Armenia Party - set aside partisanship to support the efforts of another political party, the one with the third-largest parliamentary mandate, to pursue the "Armenian Cause," and above all, universal affirmation of the Armenian Genocide.

        Add to this the fact that the event also had the support of prominent Russian-Armenian and Middle Eastern Armenian figures, and the message is unmistakable: when it comes to affirmation of the Armenian Genocide, there is no distance between Armenia and the Armenian diaspora.

        But who would have thought otherwise?
