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.

    Thanks Joseph jan, I will do as you suggested. To a degree it bears similarities to the Armenian Genocide; by that I mean, the Turkish gendarmes were given the orders to kill every Armenian on site, but the Kurds helped the gendarmes and plus they looted and stole as well as killed at the time of the AG in 1915.

      During and as you say also before the 1915 massacres, 800 thousand Christian Assyrians were also massacred along with more than 1.5 Million Armenians. Let's not forget this.

        It does not bear "similarities to the Armenian Genocide", it was part of the Armenian Genocide. However, it does not fit into the simpistic propaganda produced by so many Armenian sources (the same sources that seek to downplay the massacres and deportations that took place in western Turkey - i.e. outside the territory of "historic Armenia"). And these events completely run contrary to the Turkish propaganda with its lies about the Ottoman Empire acting defensively and being a victim. From the outset the Ottoman Empire acted aggressively and was expansionist, immediately invading the territory of its neighbours (Russia and Persia) and committing attrocities there. And, if you were to believe today's Kurdish propaganda and that produced by their European advocates, the cuddly Kurds wouldn't hurt a fly.

          Tartars, or Tatars, or Turks.

            It was indeed part of the Genocide. The Genocide continued also into the establishment of the Turkish Republic. Massacres of Armenians, Chaldeans, Assyrians, Yezdis by Turkish forces and irregulars occured in Anatolia, Northern Iran, Syria, Russian controlled Armenia, Artsakh, Baku, Gandzha, etc. from the beginnings of the war until '23. The masscres began in 1909, abated somewhat during ther Balkan Wars and then began again in 1914 and would continue after the Soviet takeover of Armenia in areas of Turkey and what is now Azerbaijan.

              That's why I've always felt that our voices have been weak. It was a Christian Genocide. The Assyrians suffered just as much as the Armenians. It is actually incorrect to call it the "Armenian" Genocide.

                Guys, that is not nationalism. You might hate Turks a lot, but facts are facts. Differences between those guys and Turkey Turks are not much bigger than the differences between post-Soviet Armenia and Diaspora.
                How is Iran a fake name?
                How does that differ from the change of the Ottoman Empire to Turkey? Change of regime leads to a name change.

                  So in that theory then even the illegal country "turkey" is a
                  fake name? It only came after the Young Turks took over.

                    Bell, I appreciate the way you are aware of the regional history. The only way to learn what REALLY happened is to read from more than 2 perspectives, and it sounds like you're one of the few who has done so. It's so sad to see 99% of Turks, Armenians, Russians, Iranians and Europeans (British/French) to see things only as they see fit, without the whole picture.

                      so please i need someone who can help me about this matter to end my wonder
                      Simple answer: Ultra nationalism has not infected the minds of the Azeris, Persians Kurds and Armenians that live in Iran. Nationalism perhaps has. What I refer to as ultra nationalism refers to blind hatred or prejudice against those with a different culture, language religion or ethnicity. The people in this region are all closely related in all aspects. You're surprised they all get along. Well a normal human being should ask why they don't.

                      They speak a dialect of Azeri. The differences from that spoken are probably less than between Western and Eastern Armenian dialects. As for their origins. Well lets put it this way, the Turks of Turkey and the Azeri Turks in Iran and Azerbaijan are ethnically most closely related to neighbouring peoples. Greeks, Kurds and Armenians for the Turks, Persians, Armenians, Kurds and other Caucasian peoples for the Azeris. Does their ethnic heritage matter? No. Did it make a blind bit of difference when the Turks killed hundreds of thousands of Armenians and when the Azeris and Armenians went to war?

                      Its always easier to hate someone eh.
