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.

    So what does Iran's laws have to do with Armenia-Iranian relations?

      The topic opened up about the human rights situation in Iran. I tend to be a socially conservative person, however such penal codes just go to far, and resemble more middle ages than present day.

      Honestly, I don't think we have the luxury to have such backwards laws affected our relations, because in the end of the day we need the economic cooperation and we need to feed off of the Iranian-Azeri tensions.

      Talking about a conservative country you should see what Iranians do when they come to Yerevan. They start drinking beer and vodka in the streets, partying all day, the women wear provocative dresses, it's like they transform instantly into some Western tourists. There's a Persian night club in center Yerevan where are the Persians go and dance to Western music and get drunk. I've seen this with my eyes, you might think they are conservative people, but when they are in a more liberal country like Armenia, it's a whole different story. Pretty funny I must say.

      I often translate for them actually.

        I've had some fun experiences with those crazy Persians, often translate for them actually.
        It's like anywhere else in the world, you'll find crazy people in the urban/cities and conservative people in the rural/country areas. It's like visiting Bangkok and thinking all of Thailand is like that.

          Well in Iran all those things are forbidden, so urban or rural really doesn't matter in this case. Why you think so many Iranian tourists come now? Armenia is cheap, friendly, good culture, and relative to Iran rather liberal where you can do pretty much do whatever you can do in any given Western country.

            You mean there are no strip clubs and casinos in Iran? Maybe if Armenia stopped trying to be the Las Vegas of the Caucasus, it wouldn't draw so much attention. Gotta love them Ukranian dancers though. They seem to be popular in Canada too.... go figure.

              Yeah I thought I saw that strip club, right near the main mosque in downtown Tehran, I remember it featured some American dancers

              Look man, they don't even allow the teaching of music in private schools, you really expect there to be even a hint of strip clubs and casinos?

              I've noticed always when it comes to Armenia's demographics, about 1% of Armenia's population are Russian - I wonder for what purpose

                Enhancing Iranian / Armenian Relations: Comedy.

                This may resonate more with Parskahyes who had relatives that moved overseas and struggled with a new language: I'm guessing some have Armenian relatives that also had this problem (first part is Persian & it then switches to English )

                  Ayatolla orders Tehran symphony to turn in violins & will give musicians 3 child brides in return:


                  Iranian newlyweds buy a new cave and camel.





                  NOTE: Iran has to be one of the most misrepresented countries in the world -- it's certainly not a perfect place, and no place is, but reality and what you may have heard are two different things.

                  I'm hoping most Armenians are familiar with Israeli funded propaganda & realize that is also being directed towards Persians also:
                  "Azerbaijani embassy to Tajikistan disseminated booklets on 9-year-old Azerbaijani child Fariz Badalov killed by Armenian sniper to the governmental structures, diplomatic corps, NGOs and mass media, counselor Ilham Zamanov said. The booklet also includes information on Armenian aggression against Azerbaijanis, occupation of 20% of Azerbaijani lands, Khojaly genocide and Nagorno Karabakh tragedy. The killing of Azerbaijani boy has occurred just after the trilateral meeting of presidents of Azerbaijan, Russia and Armenia in Sochi city, on March 5. Today, the countries of the world and international organizations have to give appraisal to this bloody tragedy." Note: This garbage is is produced by the Aliyev Foundation which is supported by Israel - search the web and see the depth to which they will stoop.

                    Is the 'How to find love in Tehran' video propaganda or is it accurate in your opinion?
                    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.

                      It's the truthful opinion of the people in the video - but their opinions are formed by it their age and personal characteristics too. None of them agreed with each other 100%. I don't think the video is propaganda - but in a different city, and asked of people that are older, you might get different responses.
