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.

        Լիբանանահայութիւնը շատ լաւ ըրաւ միասնակամութեամբ իր փողոքի ձայնը լսեցնելով:

        Erdogan's visit to Lebanon certainly has something to do with Ahmadinejad's visit. It is simply a Sunni vs. Shiite contention to see which regional power can best serve Arab interests in the face of Israel. Turkey has more of a superficial approach than Iran because despite the supposed worsening of relations with Israel after the flotilla and other incidents, Turkish-Israeli ties remain strong...

          Group of young Armenians beat Turkish entrepreneurs in Beirut

          February 14, 2011 | 00:04

          Clashes between representatives of the Armenian community and Turkish entrepreneurs broke out during a textile exhibition in Beirut. A group of young Armenians, decedents of the Armenian genocide victims, handed out booklets, describing Turkey-committed crimes in English and Arabic to visitors of the Turkish pavilion.

          Turkish businessmen tried to prevent distribution of booklets and clashed with the Armenian youth.

          Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu was informed of the brawl and a great number of servicemen and security forces were sent to the site. Many of the Armenian youth managed to leave the exhibition, but some were detained.

          Turkish entrepreneur Huri Sh. was hospitalized, whereas others returned to Istanbul, Cihan agency reports.

                  Crime, not politics behind tensions in Burj Hammoud

                  October 31, 2011 12:50 AM
                  By Van Meguerditchian
                  The Daily Star

                  BEIRUT: Tensions between many Lebanese Armenians and Kurdish laborers in Burj Hammoud are the result of recent crime on the streets of the Beirut district, rather than developments in Syria, political and security sources told The Daily Star Sunday.

                  The Tashnag Party, which enjoys support in some of Burj Hammoud’s Armenian community, urged apartment owners last week to rent only to families, a move that would make it difficult for single workers to live in the area.

                  Akkar MP Khaled Daher, a member of the Future Movement, told Mustaqbal newspaper over the weekend that the party’s decision is aimed at stopping anti-Syrian regime protests.

                  Members of the Kurdish community have participated in both anti- and pro-Syria demonstrations.

                  But according to security sources, the party’s move came after a security incident in Burj Hammoud last week when a Lebanese Armenian man nearly died after being stabbed by a Kurdish man over a parking dispute.

                  “All kinds of immoral acts are taking place in the town and there are many [people] carrying knives on the streets,” the source added.

                  Tashnag Metn MP Hagop Pakradounian echoed the source, saying that issue is not politics but social and security matters, adding that the party is confronting these issues after receiving complaints from residents.

                  “It’s not only about Kurds … or about Syrians … It’s the increasing number of foreign laborers who are residing illegally in the neighborhood and are causing [a lot of] trouble in the daily lives of the families,” Pakradounian told The Daily Star Sunday.

                  “Last week a young boy was attacked and stabbed and shortly before that there was an attempted rape of a girl,” said Pakradounian.

                  When asked whether the party’s decision had political aims, Pakradounian said that a girl’s right not to be harassed on the street every day is not related to politics.

                  “A girl cannot walk on the streets of Burj Hammoud at night anymore because the roads have become dangerous and filled with foreign street gangs,” Pakradounian explained.

                  Describing the situation in many of the town’s residential buildings, Pakradounian said that it is not acceptable for an owner to allow 10 men to live in a single apartment.

                  “Consider a building of five apartments … four Lebanese families live in four apartments and almost 10 foreign laborers live in the fifth apartment,” Pakradounian added.

                  According to Pakradounian, dozens of complaints have been made by families concerning a variety of incidents in the town, which has for several years been a shelter for the country’s increasing foreign laborers.

                  The Tashnag MP said that the prospect of making more money is driving the owners to rent out their apartments to almost anyone. “Instead of $300 a month, 10 foreign laborers are paying $500,” he added.

                  However, an influential official in the country’s Kurdish community warned of the party’s measure and said that around 7,000 Kurds would be evicted because of it.

                  “Dozens of Kurdish families are about to be evicted because of some gangsters on the streets, who we are also against,” Mahmoud Siyala, president of the Kurdish Charity Organization, told The Daily Star.

                  “All individuals who are in violation of the law should be held accountable by the state and it shouldn’t be up to the party to decide on such matters,” said Siyala.

                  Siyala confirmed that officials from the Tashnag Party notified Kurds in the area to leave as soon as possible but said the matter is not related to politics.

                  “I don’t think it’s a political matter but I don’t want to go into politics,” Siyala added.
