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: Iranian-Armenian relations

    Greeks and Persians get along perfectly - those ancient battles were just that, "ancient." Even when Alexander the Great came to Persia, the first people he fought with were the Armenians (the Persian empire was protected from the North by Armenia); By the time Alexander worked his way South, he encouraged his Army to take Persian wives, and changed his views. Any way, modern day Greeks are good people, and we can't blame the average Greek for what Alexander did or didn't do. Alexander also killed many members of his own family - so he was a bit nuts.

      Actually, I agree with both of you; But it's Israel that's putting bullets in the Azerbaijani gun that's pointed at Armenia. I'm sure you know about the weapons deals being made in exchange for oil and gas.

        Alexander avoided Armenia, he was an intelligent commander and knew better than to lead his forces and supply lines to mountainous terrain where he and his forces would meet the famed Armenian heavy cavalry. Armenians who were serving with Darius' army did indeed fight alongside the Persians.
        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.

          So are many other countries such as Ukraine, Pakistan, Turkey, Russia, Belarus, China, and so on. They have oil, they have resources, so most countries will wish to support Azerbaijan. Doesn't mean all those countries are mortal enemies of Armenia, except Turkey for historic reasons, and Pakistan is enemy because it doesn't recognise Armenia's right to exist!

              /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Besides all possible support to anti-Armenian activities in the United States, a number of Israeli scientific organizations with the help of some Armenian individuals are penetrating in various research centers in the U.S. and Europe, an Armenian expert said.

                  I never said Israel was ally of Armenia, just that Israel is not an enemy of Armenia like Persopolis was suggesting. Our main and most reliable ally is Russia.

                  j3wish/Israeli Lobby group has often supported Turkish issues in the US because of Israel's partnership with Turkey, though since Turkey are Israel are no more friends and actually foes, the j3wish lobby has refused to support Turkish issues, and will allow Genocide resolution to pass, even suggesting that it may help Armenian lobby with it.

                  Though you still haven't directly answered why Iran's government has not gone through the process of recognising Armenian genocide, have they ever even brought it up?

                    My friend, I can't speak for the Iranian government, but there are dozens of memorials in Iran recognizing the Turkish genocide of Armenians. Please remember that Iranians were among the first to speak up, and you won't find similar memorials in Turkey, Israel, or even the U.S. like the one by Iran below. Actions speak louder than words:

                      Memorials are nice, but they don't reflect government's position. To make a memorial all you need is money and some cooperation with local politicians which isn't to hard to get if you have money. There are Armenian Genocide memorials anywhere there's sizeable Armenian community, since especially the Diaspora and Western Armenians feel strongly about this as they are the descendents of the survivors.
