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.

      Lol, Muslim Armenians, there are no such people (except Hemshin people but they are very disconnected from real Armenians) no sensible Armenian family would accept a Muslim and you would have a really hard time being accepted in Armenia.

      2. It's hard to control what faith your kids choose anyway - or if they even really believe it - kids tend to do their own thing anyway.
      Well if Armenian kids choose Islam, their family will disown them.

      3. Both Armenians & Iranians have had different faiths throughout history. (Zoroastrianism / Paganism / Led Zeppelin.)
      Armenia is oldest Christian nation in the world. Our Armenian identity is heavily based on our Christian heritage - most of our culture stems from our Christian roots and church.

      5. There are some forms of Christianity to avoid and some forms of Islam to avoid (it applies to all faiths). Muslims are not a monolithic group - for examples, I would much prefer my own child to be a Christian or Zoroastrian than a Wahabi (Saudi-style Muslim). I would much rather have my child be a Shia muslim than a Zionist-Christian.
      You rather your child be a normal Shia muslim or normal christian?

      6. Who people choose to marry is a personal choice: It's not up to me or you Mos. In the end, it's really only important that they have loving and nurturing homes for their kids and a good life. If they're happy, they're happy. (What should we do? Burn a big "B" on the foreheads of Buddhist Armenians?)
      Sure they can marry whoever they want - just if they marry Muslim they won't be accepted by their family or their country.

      7. Video of Muslim Armenians of Persian Stock living near the Black Sea since antiquity - they seem pretty normal to me.
      They are very disconnected from Armenians, and not many associate themselves with Armenians actually. Armenian Christianity is key to the Armenian identity - without it you aren't really Armenian.

          Did I say that? Read carefully before posting.

          I said our culture and our identity is greatly shaped by our Christian identity - with our adoption of Christianity and subsequently being surrounded by Muslim powers, it was even more imperative to stay true to our faith, and till today being Armenian is contingent on being Christian.

            so there are 2 kinds of Armenian Christians, one is the Armenian apostolic, and the other is the Armenian Kilikio church. And then there are the Hamsheni Armenians(muslim). Which one is the real Armenian?

              As I said, the Hemshin people are very disconnected from real Armenians, they don't even consider themselves Armenians. Sure by roots there are Armenian, they are not the same as the other Christian Armenians. Yes the Christian Armenians are more Armenian than the Hemshin people.

                There is One Holy Apostolic Armenian Church, the Holy See of Cilicia is subordinate to the Mother See of Etchmiadzin.
                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.

                  Happy Persian New Year 1390 to all Iranians at home and abroad.

                  Nowruz marks the first day of spring and the beginning of the year in Iranian calendar. It is celebrated on the day of the astronomical vernal equinox, which usually occurs on March 21 or the previous/following day depending on where it is observed. As well as being a Zoroastrian holiday and having significance amongst the Zoroastrian ancestors of modern Iranians, the same time is celebrated in parts of the South Asian sub-continent as the new year. The moment the Sun crosses the celestial equator and equalizes night and day is calculated exactly every year and Iranian families gather together to observe the rituals.

                  Originally being a Zoroastrian festival, and the holiest of them all, Nowruz is believed to have been invented by Zoroaster himself, although there is no clear date of origin. Since the Achaemenid era the official year has begun with the New Day when the Sun leaves the zodiac of Pisces and enters the zodiacal sign of Aries, signifying the Spring Equinox.

                  The xxxish festival of Purim is probably adopted from the Persian New Year.[8] It is also a holy day for Sufis, Ismailis, Alawites, Alevis, and adherents of the Bahá'í Faith.

                  The term Nowruz in writing, first appeared in Persian records in the 2nd century AD, but it was also an important day during the time of the Achaemenids (c. 648-330 BC), where kings from different nations under the Persian empire used to bring gifts to the Emperor, also called King of Kings (Shahanshah), of Persia on Nowruz. The significance of Nowruz in the Achaemenid empire was such that the great Persian king Cambyses II's appointing as the king of Babylon was legitimized only after his participation in the New Year festival (Nowruz).

                    In the interest, of furthering Armenian/Iranian relations: I want to ask three questions of everyone, except Mos:

                    1. As an Armenian, are you comfortable serving on the front lines of a war with Mos?
                    2. Would you trust Armenia's military secrets to Mos?
                    3. Could you trust Mos to handle Armenia's diplomatic relations?
