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

    The bottom line is that everyone in the region is playing a balancing game due to their perceived interests and for ever action there is a reaction. I would like for both Iran and Israel to have good relations and support Armenia but this will not happen even if it does make more sense to. We do not have the power to dictate such things. I respect both J E W S and Persians but right now I would rather have good relations with Iran because of historical reasons and the fact that they seem to treat Armenia as friends whereas Israel arms Azerbaijan for the sake of profit (for Azeri oil they have never received) and have supported Turkey for years.

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.
      I disagree. To make a memorial in Iran you need the Iranian government's permission. Here's a test: Try to put up a memorial in Iran to Britney Spears or Saddam Hussein and watch how quickly the Iranian authorities come to your door.

          Re: Iranian-Armenian relations

          Persian-Armenians all know, at least most of them, that we were treated with much more respect in Iran than we are treated here in Europe. A funny story; a long time ago my uncle who lives in Iran had a car accident with an ethnic Iranian. They went to court and the judge said because he is Armenian, he believes him. In court! Can you imagine, Iran has one of the most extreme, radical, pro-Islamic government ever, but still they treat us pretty good compared to others? Now imagine if true Persians were in power in Iran.

            The Iranian-Armenian partnership is very important for us, and our geopolitical position, as we pretty much have Azerbaijan surrounded with powers that could annihilate Azerbaijan in no time. We need this kind of pressure on Azeris, and from wikileaks it says how scared Aliyev is of Iran. Iran has also been a reliable economic partner that supported us during our bad times when Georgia was in disarray, and even given the fact Iran has a Islamic government and politics it still supports Armenia over Azerbaijan, even though Azeris are same Muslim as Iranians, and are much closer to Persians culturally. So what we see here is typical geopolitics.

            Of course, I wish Iran was more secular, no Islamic laws, and there was more political freedom, as many of the young protesters want, but I support the current regime, for one reason only, that it's on good terms with Armenia. However, our number 1 friend and ally will always be Russia for us, they have supported us during the worst of times, when Turks wanted to conquer eastern Armenia, they helped us, they give us pretty much all our weapons now, and ensure our security, and we rely on them in crucial economic sectors. Of course Let the Iranian friendship flourish on the side!

                Re: Iranian-Armenian relations

                Here's a good example of Iranian supporting our cause:

                Iran rejected Baku’s requests for a corridor to attack Karabakh
                January 8, 2011 - 15:29 AMT 11:29 GMT
                PanARMENIAN.Net - Iran has rejected to provide Azerbaijan with a corridor along Arax River for attacking Fizuli, Jebrail and Zangelan.

                According to Echo newspaper, Baku negotiated the issue in autumn 2010 and experienced complete failure.

                In exchange for the corridor, Baku promised to take a neutral stand in case of a war against Iran.

                    Thanks. I wish to one day visit Iran, some ancient sites I want to see and honestly never been in Middle East before.

                      Persian hospitality is very famous.....you will also discover a phenomenon called "Tarof". There is no getting away from that one.
