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.

      Statement came from MP Musa Gasimli, during a conference on the "Day of Azerbaijani Genocide."

      Some people in Turkey believe the problem of Nagorno Karabakh is not a problem of Ankara, but they are deeply mistaken, since this problem is as painful for Turkey as it is for Azerbaijan. * * * “By initiating the Karabakh campaign, Armenians set the goal to weaken Turkey. By occupying Zengilan, they showed their real goals, since this strategic region of Azerbaijan was, in fact, a bridge between Turkey and the Turkic world,” the deputy said.

      Turkey asked Serzh Sargsyan to return one region of Nagorno-Karabakh “to save Azerbaijan’s face”


      March 31, 2011 | 12:34
      “Turkey cannot afford “to lose Azerbaijan for the sake of relations with Armenia,” Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutolgu told the Armenian “Azg” newspaper at “Turkey’s policy in the modern world” conference in Istanbul.

      Speaking of the fate of the Armenia-Turkey Protocols, Davutoglu said: “In fact, the contacts between Turkey and Armenia began in 2005 when the Turkish government declared its openness to the world and policy of “zero problems with Armenia.” Our talks with the Armenian side pursued three goals: to open the border and establish diplomatic relations, and establish direct and indirect relations between Turkey and Armenia,” he said.

      According to him, it refers also to the Armenian Diaspora, “which Turkey considers its diaspora, as they emigrated from Turkey to U.S., France ...”

      “Armenians believe that normalization of relations is conditioned by the border opening and diplomatic relations, while we have great experience in such issues. For example, Turkey made great efforts to achieve success in reconciliation between Syria and Israel. However, when it seemed that the issue was to be solved, events in the Gaza Strip took place and all returned to the starting point. The border opening will not bring about changes. There are a number of issues to be solved in this regard. Should we close the border again if anything happens on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border? In this event, all prospects for establishment of relations and conflict resolution will fail in the long term future,” Davutoglu said.

      “We cannot afford to lose Azerbaijan for the sake of relations with Armenia. We asked the Armenian President, I have repeatedly offered my Armenian counterpart Nalbandian to return one or two regions of Nagorno-Karabakh, for example, Fizuli or Aghdam to Baku as a gesture to save Azerbaijan’s face. In this case, Azerbaijan would also be ready to open its border, but Armenia refused,” Davutoglu said.

      On October 10, 2009, in Zurich, Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Armenia and Turkey signed the “Protocol on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations” and “Protocol for the development of bilateral relations”, which needed to be ratified by the parliaments of the two countries. However, it did not happen due to Ankara’s non-constructive position.

      The signing ceremony was attended by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and France Bernard Kouchner, as well as Secretary General of the Council of the European Union Javier Solana. The signing ceremony was at the center of the world’s attention, broadcasted on 70 TV channels.

      However, on December 7, 2009, Turkey linked Armenian-Turkish reconciliation to settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. During his meeting with U.S. President Barack Obama, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Erdogan stated that Ankara would not ratify the Armenian-Turkish protocols as long as the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict remained unsettled. On April 22, 2010, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan signed a decree suspending the ratification process.

        Iran's cultural attaché to Armenia has announced that the two countries have reached a preliminary agreement to make a joint TV series.


        Speaking at a meeting with Armenian cultural officials, Reza Atufi said that the joint venture would expand cinematic ties between the two countries, and that it would portray the social and cultural life of Iran and Armenia.

        Iranian director, Qasem Jafari, who has directed a number of well received TV series and flicks, said he would hand in a script to Armenian cultural officials soon.

        The Armenian Deputy Director of Public Television and Radio, Levon Galstian, stated that the joint TV series would familiarize the two nations with each others' culture and lifestyle.

        Garegin Zakoian, the Armenian National Cinematheque's director concluded that the project will revitalize Armenia's filmmaking industry.

            By "you" let's make clear that you are referring to Turkey NOT Iran or me (Persopolis). Ani presently is in Turkey near the border with Georgia. Turkey refused to give Ani back.

              He meant Turkey not you or Iran. He was responding to the quote from Davutoglu.

                    Turkey is a terrorist state, much like their Pakistani/Azerbaijani brethern, so I'm not really surprised.
