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.

        I wonder if some groups in Armenia have decided that the August 11th date is just some later Christian falsification or appropriation and decided that, if one goes back to the origins, Amanor and Novruz are identical, are one and the same.
        I know that to this day hardcore Armenian Christians have a disdain towards those Armenians that gather at Garni and celebrate Amanor in similar fashion to the pics you provided.

          Attaturk rewrote the Ottoman-Turkish language, including Turkifying loan words and pretending they were Turkish in origin; Attaturk also changed the alphabet -- one of his masterful frauds in creating "a people" and solidifying his own power over "his people." http://countrystudies.us/turkey/25.htm

          The Persian language doesn't have an explicit "W" either - nevertheless the soft "W" sound is implied in the word Nowrooz -- E.g., ("Kno," "No," & "Know" sound the same even without the "W"-- the turkified "Nev" doesn't). In many countries words are in fact spelled differently - but the Pan-Turkists also have a history of using their misspellings to fabricate imaginary historical narratives. I am suggesting that when Pan-Turanists consistently act in a corrosive way against historical facts - we impose a stricter standard; that's a price they should have to pay. It's this ideology of "Turkification" that people should strongly resist. As a matter of ethnic lineage, the Ottomans are a hybrid people - a blend of: Turkmen tribes, Arabs, Greeks, Persians, Armenians, Kurds, etc. A Real Ethnic Turk is very Chinese in appearance, given that the word "Turk" itself is Chinese in origin and the Real Turks originated in the Altai mountains in modern-day China. Like Attaturk, Aliyev plays this same Turkification game - you will note that he refers to all of his citizens as "Azerbaijanis" (including Armenians, Talysh, etc.). "Azerbaijani" is a meaningless term for purposes of conveying ethnic origin - which is the way Aliyev's government deliberately uses it. Pan-Turanism is an enemy of science and history, its own people and the people it misappropriates from.

            Iranian-Armenian Relations have been around for a long time. Meet Mithradatha VI, King of Armenia Minor, grandson of Darius the First (King of Persia): I hope to encourage Armenians to study Persian History, as it is very important to their own history.

              He was a good king and really gave the Romans hell. Also, Tigran the Great was an ally.
              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 was the Iranians (father of the Sjah) who fell into the trap by giving Turkey a land connection to Nakhichevan, just to please them. If not, things would have been very different now... and probably Nakhichevan would have been under Armenian control. What did Iran gain from it? Nothing. It's the Turks who somehow always play the game smart...

                    It's true they did a land swap - If I'm not mistaken, the Kurds were making trouble slightly south of there so they exchanged something like 7 km north for 7 km south; the other reason was that the USSR at that time was threatening Iran and Turkey was a strategic ally (blame Stalin).

                    Nevertheless, I can't see a reason why a border fence can't be maintained slightly within Nakhichevan to seal it off. They can still close off that road with an interior border fence. Nakhichevan only has 400,000 people now - and many have used that road to exit and move to Turkey. Have you read any literature on what the effects of that road are? I'm curious if anything has been written about it. I think it's the Kars Treaty in 1921 b/w USSR and Turkey that Turkey is using as an excuse.

                    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Kars

                    Turkey, Georgia, and Azerbaijan continue to accept the Kars treaty (i.e., NATO, the USA, & Israel = my interpretation.)

                    Nakhichevan is the apple of our eye, it is very important to us.
                    Therefore, we will protect it. This was stated by Minister of State
                    Foreign Trade of Turkey Zafer Caglayan after a meeting with the
                    Chairman of the Supreme Majlis of Nakhichevan Vasif Talibov.
                    At a meeting with businessmen at the Turkey and Nakhichevan border
                    crossing, Chaglayan said that Turkey will not open borders with
                    Armenia until the Karabakh problem is resolved, Anadolu agency writes.
                    Azerbaijan-Turkey business forum is being held a Nakhichevan.
                    The majority of people who live in Nakhichevan have recently began to immigrate to neighboring countries, particularly to Turkey and Russian Federation (RF) because of the lack of employment opportunities in the region, an increase in bribe-corruption cases and the repressive policies of Vasif Talibov, the Speaker of Nakhichevan Ali Mejlis, (Supreme Council). http://www.diplomaticobserver.com/news_read.asp?id=1226

                    Others don't:
                    Turkey won't deploy its peacekeepers in Nakhichevan, says expert; Aysor, Armenia, June 25 2010

                    Director of the Department of the Orient Studies of the National
                    Academy of Sciences, Rouben Safrastian said he rules out the
                    possibility of deployment of the Turkish peacekeepers in Nakhichevan.
                    `I believe that there will not be Turkish peacekeepers in Nakhichevan;
                    there is no legal basis for such a deployment,' said analyst.
                    `If Turkey tries to do so basing on the Kars Treaty then note that
                    there is no single word about it in the document. In case of
                    deployment of Turkish peacekeepers in Nakhichevan, Turkey will enter
                    into the open conflict against Russia,' he said.

                      in ancient times Nakhichevan was important route from east to west, but now it's isolated, deserted and in decay. Its fertile land is limited, it doesn't have any bright future. Why give a xxxx about it?
