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.

      Armenian historical monuments in Iran are under State protection (video)



      July 25, 2011 | 14:05

      YEREVAN. - Armenian historical monuments on the territory of Iran are under State protection, said historian, expert in Armenian culture Samvel Karapetyan on Monday.

      Armenian working group visited Iran for one month on June 10 in a framework of a joint project with Iranian counterparts. The group visited four of former Armenian provinces - Parspatunik or Karadag, Artaz (Maku), Khoy, Zarevand (current Salmast) and passed Urmia (Kaputan).

      “We have been in 4 provinces. The diversity and the amount of monuments is the same as in Armenia, Karabakh or Western Armenia. These territories are inhabited by Azerbaijanis or Kurds, we met Armenians only in Salmast,” said Karapetyan. “Historical Armenian lands are abundant not only with churches but also fortresses, especially belonging to the era of Kingdom of Van.”

      The scientist added that several thousands of Armenian monuments have been preserved in Iran. The group managed to photo and videotape around 4000 of them. In future these materials will be used for photo albums, books and movies.

        ^^^ Iran in all has done a good job of sustaining our cultural sites and communities in their country. One could argue better than Georgia.

          Not an argument, it would stating a fact. Iran has been much better in this regard and overall in its treatment of Armenians both on a governmental and non-governmental level.
          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.

            One of the things I am hoping is that the political elements advocating Iranian nationalism over religious ideals advocated by the more conservatives and people around Ayatollah, take power in Iran. In my view, such a political change would be very good for our relations. I am not saying for there to be secular government, but for those particular elements to take power. One of the key people of that is Esfandiar Mashaei, who is also close with Ahmadinejad and has been speculated to maybe be the future president.

              I thought that this Persian mosque in Yerevan is just a cultural centre, not a working mosque.

                It is a Shia mosque that mainly caters to the Iranians who visit Armenia, the diplomats from the Iranian embassy, and some random Muslims who may need a place to pray should they find themselves in Yerevan. It is the only functioning mosque in Armenia though.

                  He has also made some statements favoring the U.S and Israel. A part of why Iran has good relations with Armenia is because Azerbaijan and Turkey are so friendly with the USA and Israel, where as Armenia is closer to Russia. Therefore it's not necessarily a good thing for us if Iran became less religious and more progressive. Also, one of the reasons they have tense relations with Azerbaijan is Azerbaijan's secular government policies. That's why I don't know if it would be that great if he became a rule. Regardless though, i don't think Iran's religious leadership would allow someone like him become president.

                    He is part of the conservative section of Iranian politicians (e.g. Ahmadinejad) that want to bring in more Iranian nationalism, along side the religious elements. They are not pro-Israel/US, maybe in the other wing there may be. What there needs to be is a steady balance between the religious elements and nationalistic. To much of either can hurt us.

                      TEHRAN - Members of the counter-revolutionary group PJAK (the Party for a Free Life in Kurdistan) are receiving training in parts of Armenia, Iranian Army Colonel Aziz Hassan-Aqdam said on Wednesday.

                      “The terrorist group PJAK, after suffering a heavy defeat in the south of West Azerbaijan (Province), went to the northern part of the province,” Hassan-Aqdam stated.

                      Some members of the terrorist group have fled to Bouralan, in the north of the province, and they are also receiving training in some parts of Armenia, he noted.

                      However, security has been restored in the north of the province and the border guards of Maku are ready to repel any attack, he added.

                      Hassan-Aqdam also said that troops stationed at 32 border posts are protecting the border in the Maku region and cameras have also been installed to monitor areas where there are no guards.

                      Fifty vehicles, 80,850 liters of diesel fuel, 32,495 packets of foreign cigarettes, 197 satellite receivers, 17 guns, 8.285 kilos of illicit drugs, 73 antiques, and 177 pornographic CDs have been seized by the Maku border police over the past few months.

                      In addition, 289 smugglers were arrested and 196,500 U.S. dollars, 118,000 euros, and 198 million Turkish liras were seized from the smugglers.
