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: Recognition of Armenian Genocide by USA

      I'm actually really concerned about what can come out of this. I don't say I am happy too, I totally back up this decision and I this is a good slap in the face of denialist Turkey to show them that you can't hide a lie forever...it will come out to light and shine.

      But I mean, we have experience on what happens when ultra-nationalist Turks face this kind of situations, I am worried about the Armenians living in Istanbul and Turkey in general...those motherxxxxers can take actions against our brothers and sisters (just like the Azeries did when NK asked for reunification with Armenia, one week later...Sumgait) and start pogroms against us, kick every Armenian out of Turkey specially those who are undocumented, they would be treated like dogs, or idk...and the government or the police, nobody would do anything to stop it...instead Erdogan would be the first one racing against Armenians.

      I am actually quite concerned. I have a mixed feelings situation

        No, if they did something like that it would only show the world, and those few people who doubt the AG, that turkey is the same as it was 100 years ago. In a sick way it would be a plus for our cause, even though some Armenians in turkey would be killed. Yet, I don't expect the AG bill to go to the full House nor do I expect turkey to start killings of Armenians within their borders.
        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.

          It's a storm in a tea cup. The US congress is feigning interest in the Armenian cause and Turkish politicians will feign anger back. It's highly unlikely that the actual bill will get passed in the forseeable future because the US is very good at protecting its own interests irrespective of moral cause. And they need Turkey's goodwill right know for Iraq, peacekeeping in Afganistan, economic sanctions on Iran, $10 billion trade ($3.5 billion surplus to US - mostly military spending) etc.

          Just wait and see, both the protocols and resolution are going nowhere. At least a lot of Armenians will be happy about the first one.

            With what just happened it's more than enough for Turkey and its population to be angry as ever, citing Gul in a recent statement: Turkey will not be responsible for negative outcomes of this voting. It seems that no one though that in this struggle for justice there is also to take into consideration the lives of the nearly 40,000 Armenians who live in Turkey and whose lives may be threatened by the Turkish ultra-nationalists/Grey wolves/government/normal people who will in a extreme situation be enraged and will want to take revenge against them.

            May God never allow that or anything bad to happen

              Abdullah Gul threatens
              08:58 / 03/05/2010


              Turkish President Abdullah Gul roundly condemned the adoption of Armenian Genocide Resolution by the U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs on March 4.

              “I consider the decision unreasonable. It lacks respect to the Turkish nation. The adopted resolution is far from the historical realities and is incompatible with Armenia-Turkey relations. The decision will significantly damage the stability and peace in Caucasus, as well as the nations’ efforts to establish long-term good-neighborly relations. I see this decision, following the political configuration, as injustice to history. After this voting, Turkey does not claim responsibility for negative results in any sphere,” Gul said.

              As NEWS.am reported previously, after discussing the Armenian Genocide Resolution for several hours, the U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs held an open voting.

              On Armenian delegation were RA Ambassador to the U.S. Tatul Margaryan and ARF Dashnaktsutyun faction leader Vahan Hovhannisyan.

              Before the voting end, Turkish Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan left for the presidential residence to discuss the situation with country’s President Abdullah Gul.

              Twenty-three congressmen voted for, while 22 — against.



              is this a way of Turkey saying they want to attack Armenia or something because these were the sort of threats dictator aliyev usually makes.

                I don't know think he means they want to attack Armenia, I mean they have no reason or right too do such thing, they can stop the protocols process or walk away from them, which would be seen as a terrible diplomatic failure, meaning we will be back at the starting point, but this time the tensions between both states are going to be very high and any attempt to bring the states closer will be in a distant future and very hard to accomplish.

                We may be listening new stuff coming from Azerbaijan in a near future as well, they are furious about this too.

                It's a quite worrying situation the one Armenia is founding herself today. Growing tensions can lead to bad things

                  Actully Armenia finds itself in a better geopolitical position than in any period in the past few hundred years. No one is paying any attention to azerbaijan, they are left at Moscow's whims, georgia is broken and weak, and turkey is looking quite foolish in its attempts to act as a regional power, when in fact they are no greater than Iran, and to a degree are beholden to Russia as well.
                  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.

                    Yeah I know, but I mean today as off right now after the current events. I am referring to the danger that would be (and currently is a likely and growing possibility) to have both Turkey and Azerbaijan united by rage looking at Armenia with hateful eyes and ideas of revenge. That can be no good for Armenia both at a short term and a long term periods, tensions are high and will be high in the coming times and we must strengthen our positions now in every sense...as to me respects, I am quite worried because of that. I am now just hoping that Turkey is as reliable an serious as Azerbaijan is when it comes to make threats and taking 'measures'...

                      Turkish government condemned adoption of Armenian Resolution
                      02:09 / 03/05/2010


                      Turkish government condemned the decision by the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the United States House of Representatives to adopt Resolution #252 on recognition of the Armenian Genocide.

                      “Turkey shows regret over the decision by the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the United States House of Representatives to adopt Resolution #252 on recognition of the Armenian Genocide. We criticize the bill, accusing Turkish nation without due grounds. The people contributing to the adoption of the resolution ignore historical reality and treat the issue with political and unjust color. Along with historical mistakes, there are also one-sided views in this resolution. At all times, the intervention of politicians in history had a negative impact. We have serious concerns that despite our warnings, the adopted resolution will damage U.S.-Turkey relations and will bring Armenia-Turkey relations to a deadlock. We recall Namik Tan, Turkish Ambassador to Washington to Ankara for discussions,” Turkish government statement reads.
