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 understand you now; it looks like we have to give it some time to learn from them what's cooking? I know it's hard to wait, I feel very edgy about it too.

          My family were discussing the border issue. Our view is that within 10 years Armenia could be finished. Open the borders, turkish goods & traders will flood the country and buy up the land. The turcs would achieve by commerce what they will never achieve by force.
          Without foresight and measures by the Armenian Government…………….10 years is just about right hrai, Armenia will be bought and sold for.

          There has to be certain laws that restrict the amount of investments that can be made by Turkey. Corporations cannot be allowed to sell themselves out to foreign investments but attractive enough to bring profitable business from Turkey.
          Tariff is a good example that can be used as an advantage.
          Armenia has many economic levers it can use; turkey needs this much more than Armenia. Land purchase should be another obvious thing on that big DO NOT list. Immigration and Visa restrictions, ect.

          I like to believe that Armenia will be smarter than that especially in this rapidly changing superpower influences in the region and the critical importance of the Armenia geographically but more importantly as a respected Nation with truly great potentials.

          I just found this; I only read the part I am quoting, it is very long PDF file:




          The Case for Opening the Turkish-Armenian Border
          Study for the Foreign Affairs Committee of the European Parliament
          made under the framework contract with the
          Trans European Policy Studies Association (TEPSA)
          24 July 2007

          ……Good neighbourly relations, however, require good will on both sides. As mentioned
          above, the elements of a comprehensive deal would entail Armenia’s recognition of
          Turkey’s borders and territorial integrity, alongside the opening of the border and the
          normalization of Turkey-Armenia relations, and this would involve addressing the burden
          of history. Armenia’s inclusion in the ENP – even though this policy is not comparable to
          the accession process, as noted above – does offer the scope for greater EU influence on
          the border question on the Armenian side as well. Moreover, its ties to Russia
          notwithstanding, Armenia's geographical location, its economic isolation and its size
          make it value its relations with the EU highly. In this respect, although the EU enjoys a
          higher degree of potential influence on Turkey than on Armenia, in practice, given
          Armenia’s vulnerable position, it is arguably as dependent on close and deepening ties to
          the EU as Turkey. The priorities for action in the current ENP Action Plan for Armenia
          do not include any reference to recognition of Turkey’s eastern border……

              One of the EU persons was saying that he doesn't think that Armenia could be part of the EU. Serge was reminding that Armenia is only a 17 year old newly independent country and far ahead in a short span of time and couldn't be compared to a 100 year old independent country.

              I just wish if we had a Wilsonian Armenia and be able to transport via the Black sea to Europe and the rest of the world, things would be better off of course. Perhaps some day in the near future. Why not?

                How about the thugs that run Armenia from their cozy mansions (and own villas in Russia and the United States) stop making such a mess of things in what us akhpars would like to consider -- much to your chagrin and despite the fact that it is under mob rule -- our parent country?

                  It would be not good for turkey. If You are negotiating someone, You or She should gain or loose from bargain. Diaspora armenians had nothing to gain or loose from this bargain. So They will not make it easy for Turkey with their unrealistic wishes.

                  werent armenians master traders? why are you afraiding? did iran occupied ROA with trade?

                  I am realy curious how many turk will interest to buy land from ROA or to immigrate ROA. Infact, most probably, It would be armenians who want to immigrate Turkey.

                    Guys like you are the reason why people from the diaspora don't like Hayastancis. Don't you see that our government is xxxxing it up. Even Dodi Gago is hinting that he'll leave the coalition if there is 1 pre-condition.
                    With this attitude there will never be unity between Hayer, what the xxxx is apxar stop with this attitude and dividing our people.

                      As far as negotiations, we expect and wish that RA makes the necessary restrictions and country safety measures for the sake of our Republic. You think that physically or monetarily Diaspora Armenians will not lose from Armenia's bargains; but our minds and souls are always with Armenia. Should I remind you that although we're here outside of the state yet we think about and support Armenia as our own lovely child.

                      werent armenians master traders? why are you afraiding? did iran occupied ROA with trade?
                      Iranians though have no hidden agendas, I pray and hope that turkey will start being as good a neighbour as Iran.
