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.

    RA FM: Turkey doesn’t do a favor to Armenia by normalizing relations



    RA FM: Turkey doesn’t do a favor to Armenia by normalizing relations
    21.01.2009 19:18 GMT+04:00 Print version Send to mail In Russian In Armenian

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia will agree to form an intergovernmental commission only after Turkey opens the border and establishes diplomatic relations with Armenia without preconditions, RA senior official said.

    “Yerevan is not going to make sacrifices to normalize relations with Ankara,” Edward Nalbandian told a news conference Wednesday.

    Armenia will never stop it policy calling for international recognition of the Armenian Genocide. Dark pages of history should be turned but the lessons of the past should never be forgotten. Armenia will never question the fact of the Armenian Genocide,” he said.

    The Minister agreed with the opinion of his Turkish counterpart Ali Babacan that the two countries are close to reconciliation.

    Nevertheless, the problems will be resolved only if Turkey agrees to establish diplomatic relations with Armenia without preconditions,” he said.

    Minister Nalbandian also informed that Armenia will participate in the impending meeting on the Caucasus Platform

      And this is what the Turkish News quotes from Nalbandian's statements, where they make no ''direct'' mention of Nalbandian saying that Armenia will never stop it's policy calling for international recognition of the Armenian Genocide.:


      Yerevan says Armenia and Turkey close to establishing diplomatic ties




      Armenia on Wednesday said it was "close" to establishing diplomatic relations and opening borders with neighboring Turkey to end decades of enmity.

      Yerevan says Armenia and Turkey close to establishing diplomatic ties

      "I share the opinion of my Turkish counterpart Ali Babacan that we are close to establishing diplomatic relations and the opening of borders," Armenian Foreign Minister Eduard Nalbandian was quoted by AFP as telling reporters.

      "We can make a new step forward if Turkey, like Armenia, accepts a settlement without preliminary conditions."

      Turkey and Armenia have no diplomatic relations and their border has been closed for more than a decade, as Armenia presses the international community to admit the so-called "genocide" claims instead of accepting Turkey's call to investigate the allegations, and Armenia's invasion of 20 percent territory of Azerbaijan.

      A warmer period began in relations when Turkish President Abdullah Gul paid a landmark visit to Yerevan in September to watch a World Cup qualifying football match between the two countries on the invitation of his Armenian counterpart Serzh Sargsyan. The two countries have been holding contacts at the minister level since.

          ARMENIA'S FOREIGN MINISTRY URGES AZERBAIJAN TO STOP ANTI-ARMENIAN RHETORIC



          ARKA
          Jan 21, 2009

          YEREVAN, January 21. /ARKA/. Azerbaijan must stop its anti-Armenian
          propaganda that only affects a peaceful resolution of the Karabakh
          conflict, RA Foreign Minister Edvard Nalbandyan said at a press
          conference on Wednesday.

          "I think Azerbaijan has neither ratcheted nor weakened its
          anti-Armenian rhetoric. This agitation has always been strong, but
          if we want to settle the Karabakh problem, we must strengthen mutual
          trust by stopping any such agitation," the minister was quoted saying.

          It will be of no good if Armenia returns Azerbaijan's hostile rhetoric,
          according to Nalbandyan.

          The minister believes the anti-Armenian propaganda casts a doubt over
          whether Azerbaijan is really ready to settle the Karabakh conflict,
          the minister said, adding Armenia has urged Azerbaijan many times to
          stop the anti-Armenian rhetoric.

          "Even the Moscow declaration considers it necessary that the two
          nations increase mutual trust," Nalbandyan said.

          On November 2, 2008, the Azeri, Armenian and Russian presidents
          met in Meiendorf castle (Moscow area) to sign a declaration on
          Nagorno-Karabakh.

          The three leaders pledged to combine efforts to improve the situation
          in the South Caucasus and charged their foreign ministers to keep
          working on a peaceful resolution of the Karabakh conflict.

          The Karabakh conflict broke out in 1988 when Artsakh, m ainly populated
          by Armenians, declared its independence from Azerbaijan.

          On December 10, 1991, a few days after the collapse of the Soviet
          Union, a referendum took place in Nagorno-Karabakh, and the majority
          of the population (99.89%) voted for independence from Azerbaijan.

          Afterwards, large-scale military operations began as a result of
          which Azerbaijan lost control over Nagorno-Karabakh and the seven
          regions adjacent to it.

          On May 12, 1994 after the signing of the Bishkek cease-fire agreement,
          the military operations were stopped.
