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.

    EU hypocrisy

    I read that the EU parliament has passed a resolution for the withdrawal from Azerbaijan's "occupied lands" of Armenian forces

    The EU has also opposed the recent Karabakh elections

    The EU parliament has no problems with elections in occupied northern Cyprus, the presence of 30,000 Turkish troops and the creation of a separate state for the Turkish minority

    Azerbaijan's territorial integrity? What about Karabakh's territorial integrity? What about the rights of the Karabakh majority

    Re: EU hypocrisy

    Turks in Cyprus represented approximately 18% of the population, and were spread all across the island. The overwhelming majority, including the occupied "Northern Cyprus" region, was Greek. The occupation of Cyprus by Turkey is 100% illegal in that it has no heritage, nor cultural ties with it, nor was it a region previously under Turkish rule, nor is the population a majority in any sense. It is pure, medieval-style, invading.

    Compared to Nagorno-Karabakh, which has a majority Armenian population, an overwhelming amount of cultural and heritage ties with Armenia, it blows my mind to see that Cyprus is somehow passing, and not Nagorno-Karabakh.

    Why is it fair for Kosovo to be recognized and not Nagorno-Karabakh? What is the difference between the two?

    Very simple: Azerbaijani oil and Turkish bribery.

      Re: EU hypocrisy

      Considering this, we need to gain support for Karabagh through individual European countries, for instance Poland has already voiced its support for the inclusion of Karabagh in the talks with Azerbaijan. Moreover, we need to gain more support from countries antagonistic to the West such as Iran, Syria, etc. Also the Kurds.

        Re: EU hypocrisy

        A minority scattered all over the island together with 100,000 settlers has created a separate state that raises its voice at every opportunity against 'injustice'

        Armenians need to learn PR from Turks!


        Northern Cyprus and trade
        SIR – I would like to respond to the letter (May 8th) from Alexandros Zenon about the importance of trade that crosses Cyprus’s Green Line buffer-zone, by saying that such trade is inadequate for reducing the economic disparity between Greek-Cypriots and Turkish-Cypriots. What is more urgent for Turkish-Cypriots is the adoption of the Direct Trade Regulation, as this will diminish the gap between the Turkish-Cypriot and Greek-Cypriot economies and contribute to a comprehensive settlement of the Cyprus problem.

        Regrettably, the regulation has not yet been adopted because of objections by the Greek-Cypriots. This is despite the fact that in 2004 the UN secretary-general called upon the international community to “eliminate the unnecessary restrictions and barriers that have the effect of isolating the Turkish-Cypriots and impeding their development”. The European Union Council that year also said that it was “determined to put an end to the isolation of the Turkish-Cypriot community through a Direct Trade Regulation and to facilitate the reunification of Cyprus by encouraging economic development.”

        Turkish-Cypriots are waiting for the international community to fulfil its promise to lift the unjust isolation imposed upon them.

          A lot of libraries in the west contain books with a heavy Turkish-Azeri bias on the Karabagh conflict, and its money and fantasy that is driving this resolution. I read one book where they denied the Genocide, accused the Armenians of masscuring Turks and Azeris, and called Armenians terrorists and most books claim that. So you shouldnt be supprised the EU has done this.

            EU in most cases takes our side over the Turks. Most countries which recognize Armenian Genocide are EU countries and some like Holland and France have laws against denial. EU is our good friend politically and economically. You want to get close with the Muslim states? Well the Association of Muslims Countries has supported Azeris so much over the years, especially during Karabakh war when they sent them money and weapons, even mercenaries. So the choice here is very simple.

              I don't think Iran, Egypt, Syria etc have supported the 'Azeris'

              Many Turks are now recognizing the genocide, so the EU recognizing the obvious (but not demanding any compensation) is not such a big political issue any more

              On the other hand the EU opposing Karabakh's right to self determination puts Armenia's security at risk. For Armenia, defending Karabakh means defending Zangezur. EU hypocrisy is a big boost to Azerbaijan's negotiating position

                You and your Europe loving ideas... I am an Iranian-Armenian, we were well respected in Iran and could do anything we wanted. I live in The Netherlands now and Dutch people SPIT on Armenians, they do not care for us, we are foreigners. Stop with your nonsense ideas. We were well respected in Iran, Syria and thrived in those countries. It was the West who was the cause for our destruction (England, France numerous times, during genocide, during Cilicia, in Baku and Tbilisi) and who supported genocide-like regimes in Turkey and still do.

                European union only has a big mouth, but they are one of the major military suppliers of Turkey and pomp billions of dollars in Turkey. They do not take sides with us, again stop all those nonsense statements, it does not do you good.

                  Re: EU hypocrisy

                  Can someone tell me why europe is silent after the clashes? When Karabakh held a free, democratic peaceful election, European-w-h-o-r-e-s criticized it in a second, but when Azerbaijan attacked Karabakh and people got killed, even if it signed a peace-pact, Europeans are silent and turn a blind eye to it. Yes... Armenians will live peacefully within Azerbaijan...

                    Re: EU hypocrisy

                    where are the Armenian demonstrators outside the EU Parliament in Strasbourg and EU Presidency in Brussels?

                    EU position on Karabakh is the same as Azerbaijan's. It is anti-Karabakh, so it is silent when Armenians are killed.. Why should Azerbaijan negotiate?

                    EU welcomes elections in Kosovo. Half of N.Cyprus are settlers from Turkey but EU enthusiastically hails elections there. Armenian PR is very poor

                    Where are the Dashnak, Hunchak and Ramgavar parties?
