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.

    Actually current Armenians of Armenia have more in common with post-Soviet people than Iranians. You are much more likely to see hayastancis hanging out with Russians, Ukrainians, or Georgians than Persians, that's just how it is. Say what you want to say about Russia, if it wasn't for them there would be no Armenian in South Caucasus, and they protect us from the Turks to the west. So you better be grateful for their help, since without it Armenia wouldn't exist.

    What do you have against J3ws? J3ws =/= Israelis
    Depends which J3ws you're referring to. Might I remind you that Armenians thrived in the Ottoman Empire for 600 years living alongside Turks. Not to mention that we were successful and vital members of society who were envied by Turkish J3wry.

      I'm referring to ordinary J3ws, not right wing Israelis. Even if there was some hostility between Turkish J3ws and Armenians during Ottoman period, are you going to blame all of J3ws for that, or the Turkish side of their identity?

        That one, I think, it already exists, however it can be expanded. What concerns Armenia would be the one proposed pipeline that tee's off and cuts through Artsakh and Armenia to Turkey. Both borders have to be open for that. Iran would be against that.

        Mos: our historical ties with Iran is much older than Russians regardless of their strong presence in Armenia, there is no need to pick one over the other either, they both have their place.

        Armenia exists because of Armenians, nobody else.

          "Historic" doesn't mean anything. We have "historic" relations with Turks and Kurds - doesn't mean they are our friends. Look at the substance of the relations rather than just looking at how many years we have been in contact with each other. Yes Russians saved our a*s a couple of times from invading Turks. First during the Genocide, and also during Karabakh War where they didn't let Turkey attack. We can pick Russian relation over Iranian because our relations with Russia are much deeper and involve our security. With Iran, it's mostly economical.

          People often forget our relations with the Greeks also - they are close friends with us and share a similar history of oppression by Turks. We have a lot in common with the Greeks more so than Iranians in my opinion.

              Shortly after the Islamic revolution, the new government of Iran arrested Elghanian and charged him with spying. The charges included "corruption", "contacts with Israel and Zionism", "friendship with the enemies of God", "warring with God and his emissaries", and "economic imperialism". He was tried by an Islamic revolutionary tribunal and sentenced to death. A report by Time magazine states:

              Elghanian,who was convicted of spying for Israel, was said to have made huge investments in Israel and to have solicited funds for the Israeli army, which the prosecution claimed made him an accomplice "in murderous air raids against innocent Palestinians."
              KanadaHye, Good post -- you know the dangers of Zionism. One thing that you ALWAYS have to be careful about with Israel, is whether they will exploit you or set up a false flag operation. Here in your post it looks like he was using an Armenian name and working for Israel. This is not the first such case - Iran's Intelligence also caught Israelis posing as Muslims. Like I've always said, I feel sorry for peace-loving xxxs (e.g. Norman Finkelstein), but I am not afraid to call Israel out for its history of manipulation and mischief.

                Yes I am. They lead in diplomatic roles between countries, control the finances, laws, the international courts, the media and the press then on top of it all, they complain about being persecuted. It's getting old. Yet the general population never learns that eventually they sell the Empire out and start all over again elsewhere.

                  Yes, Armenians do have a history with the Turks and Kurds -- they genocided your people. And yes, it DOES MEAN SOMETHING. As does the historically strong relationship between Armenians-&-Iranians: In case you've never cracked open a history book: Iranians stopped the Ottomans from ethnically cleansing the Armenians in the 11th through 14th centuries.

                    Oh please, same sh*t was being said by jealous Turks against Armenians during the Ottoman Empire. Yes J3ws get ahead in the societies they live in, it's not some world wide conspiracy, it's just they are very skilled in organising themselves and succeeding in foreign lands, similar to Armenians actually. So stop this anti-Semitic BS, unless you have some legitimate, scholarly things to say (and right wing nazi literature doesn't count).

                      Same should be said about you - either respond to the post or stop your whining and pathetic insults.
