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.

    Eddo-jan and Kanada-jan: I agree that most Americans don't know the history of that part of the world: In one sense America is a literate country, and in another sense it knows so little about the rest of the world (I deal with that phenomenon as an Iranian all of the time). For this reason, most of the information war should be in the Russian, Persian, Talysh, and Chinese languages. (Armenians should also put out information in the Azerbaijani language to show them how they are being lied to by their own Pan-Turkic government.) No matter how many maps of NK/Artsakh Americans see, the a average American does not care and will not retain that information. Several years back a U.S. politician referred to Yerevan as "the capital of Georgia." You will be lucky if the average American can identify the capital of their own state of residence.

      Though many Americans are ignorant about world history and Armenia, in the same respect I doubt the average Chinese person is well informed about Armenia. That being said I rather them know nothing about Armenia, then know about it through who*res such as kim kardashian.

        Kim Kardashian is an example of what happens when an ethnic Armenian women dives head-first into the pool of Westernization (I can show you Iranian women that have met the same fate). Many cultures complain about *Western values* - it's not just us.

        The Chinese also have their own problems with Pan-Turkism - where there are common problems alliances can be formed.

          The thing is she's not even Armenian. by blood, her Armenian lineage is rather sketchy (father was really half assyrian or something), she was raised by her mother who is Dutch and some other mix I believe. Culturally she has no connection to Armenians. So what makes her Armenian? her last name? If I adopt a chinese name that makes me all of sudden Chinese? In my view, our enemies have been using kardashian to defame Armenians - an Azeri politican had said that armenia's foreign policies are made in kardashian's bed room. That b*tch has caused us a lot of harm. If she could only stop lying and continue her stupid american life.

            The difference between Armenians and Iranians (and everyone else for that matter) is that the Iranian nation can afford assimilation while for Armenians, it is a hefty price to pay. We're only 7 million Armenians with 4 million living on an expiry date.

              I completely agree with what you said.

              I think it would also be helpful for Armenians to have another city in Iran. Iran traditionally has protected the Armenian identity and Armenians from Iran have greatly contributed to the survival of Armenia. It would also help to counteract the Grey Wolf scheme Aliyev is trying to run in the North of Iran. (The Pan-Turkists largely blame Iran for spoiling their fantasy of a "United Turkish Super-State" that runs right through Armenia.) Armenians need to also reach out to Iranian-Azaris, who largely are not the same people as the Aliyev clan. And someone should tell Georgia that if they don't help, they're next. I've long felt that Nakhchivan should have a strong ParskaHye presence because that would do two things: (1) cut-off the land-bridge Turkey wants to have to Azerbaijan; and (2) send an implicit message to the Turks that BOTH Iran and Armenia will see misbehavior there as an attack on mutual citizens and a shared identity.

              They're pushing the PT agenda as far East as China: Aliyev also imported 100-150,000 of these characters into the Republic of Azerbaijan. Aliyev is trying to Turkify the people within his borders. Armenia's survival depends on counteracting that.

                I think there is more than 7 million Armenians, but your point about our small size and the dangers of assimilation are valid.
                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.

                  Akhper jan I agree there might certainly be more in name. But I am trying to define an Armenian based on at least some knowledge about our culture and I might have to go even less than 7 million. The ones that are already lost are hard to bring back.

                    And we have a very large diaspora, with the diasporans split among their original countries (hayastanics, beirutsis, etc). I fear more of Armenian assimilation in USA than in Russia, where I have witnessed much less assimilation of Armenians.

                      Well, also if assimilation occurs in Russia they are at least close to the homeland, and the average Russian has heard of Armenia and can more or less point it out on a map. Also, Russian culture is closer to Hayastanci culture than is American.
