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.

Tell me you're not one of those adults that believes in Santa Claus.

      Saudi's dislike the US, yet America continues to support the saudi regime. Same with Jordan. I think relations would be affected to a certain degree if Armenians were to dislike Iran, but the current leadership and strategic doctrines of both nations emphasize close relations between Armenia and Iran.
      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.

        No, I meant your viewpoints are found to be odd from an odar's (Persopolis) point of view.

          And how is it in the best interest of Armenia to alienate the Iranian population while several million Turks congregate on you border and are attempting to convince the rest of Iran to abandon its support for Armenia? Seriously the onus is on you to quote the same statements Mos made and walk everyone through how that will result in a pro-Armenian policy by Iran if Iranians alter their views of Armenians. (Here's the test: What would happen to you if you took Mos's words, wrote a speech based on those words, and delivered them to the Iranian public? What would their reaction be?)

          Secondly you really need to explain how a small nation of 3 million people (Armenia) will deal with an increasing danger on its border, as shown in the video, when it alienates Iranians from being Pro-Armenian. (Note: Those are Turks in the video that want the Armenian churches in Iran to be turned into stables to house livestock).

          I come from a strong nation - Iran will survive. And will Armenia if Mos's views take hold?

            He's telling all Armenians to write a letter to Armenian Government so that they read my posts. He shouldn't be talking when it comes to 'oddness'.

                Iran is not the only country with an interest in preventing and killing pan-turanism. Russia, Armenia, and China are also interested parties and with Iran they all stand against pan-turanism, regardless if it is in the Caucasus, Central Asia, or Xinjiang.

                  True. But Iran is the only country that shares a border with Armenia that is adverse to Pan-Turks, and has power to do something about it -- also in Armenia's case, it is also flanked on the East and West by 2 Pan-Turk oriented states. I doubt a 3rd will improve Armenia's condition. Would Russia then go along with a Turkish-Super-State surrounding Armenia? Who knows. Who wants to even take that risk? Prevention is the best cure.

                    Since Armenia's Independence, Armenia has been a mostly homogeneous state, the natural result of population transfers. It is not really able to incorporate large scale immigration from non-Armenian ethnic groups and remain "Armenia". Armenians don't want to go to Iran and preach anti-Iranian-ism, they just want to maintain an Armenia for Armenians and feel threatened by being too open with foreigners, especially if they regard Armenia as some kind of haven to run away to because things aren't doing so well in their country. The idea is, you're welcome to come to Armenia, if you want to be an Armenian. This rule of thumb applies to Diasporan Armenians too, who, despite their identity of at the least being of Armenian descent, are not always compatible with the mainstream population of Armenia in terms of culture and national attitudes. Armenians tend to identify very strongly with their church, so that is an instant barrier to largescale immigration of Muslims, whether they are Turkic, Iranian, Cherkes, you name it . Armenians tend to identify very strongly with their language too. So if Iranians want to enter Armenia to find a safe haven, all Mos is really saying here is that it would be in our state's interest to require them to overcome these barriers, by complying with them. The modern republic of Armenia has never been a multicultural nation, I don't think it can be unless it wants to forfeit its identity as a nation for Armenians. If this insults you, then what can I say... Armenians have fought Persians before, and lost because they were much more feeble in might. That is what the battle of Avarayr epically portrays. But the moral is that Armenians stubbornly defended their identity. That is also why Armenians were genocided in recent history. That is the price to be Armenian and desire to remain Armenian at all costs... Not easy huh? So please try to understand Mos' xenophobia from this perspective.

                      I understand it - that's not the issue for me. I am worried about its effects on Armenia if that type of viewpoint gets a wide enough audience or alienates allies. At any rate, I think we understand each other.

                      ARMENIANS SHOULD EDUCATE THEMSELVES ABOUT PAN-TURANISM / PAN-TURKISM -- One Website about that phenomenon.
