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.

    Syria's Armenians: Christians Torn Between War-hit Home and Exile

    Three years on, the Syria spillover has triggered a full-blown eruption in neighbouring Iraq, with Sunni radicals carving out vast swathes of territory. The whole of what was exactly one century ago…

    Updated map of the Battle of Aleppo. Huge advances for the Syrian Army in the east. The entire area north and south of the airport (in the east) was controlled by rebels for a year. The Armenian district is called Midan and it's near the middle. You can see why we're always the target of indiscriminate rebel shelling, we're on the front line.

    The strategy pursued by the SAA seems to be to encircle the strip of rebel neighbourhoods and lay a siege.

    Nah that is what your friend ISIS is for. Nobody fights me because most people are not idiots and fear pain plus im a easy going guy. I have faced real bravery so i have no need to prove anything to anyone but you on the other hand have a long history of dodging questions, talking down to and insulting Armenians, lying,...anyways here is a great example of what you and your friends stand for and just how cowardly you both are

    ISIS EXPANDS CONTROL, BEGINS PERSECUTING CHRISTIANS IN MOSUL

    Assyrian International News Agency AINA
    June 12 2014

    Posted 2014-06-12 06:13 GMT

    An ISIS flag hangs from a bridge in Mosul. On the left it says
    "Nineveh Governorate welcomes you" and on the right it says "There
    is no God but Allah."(AINA) -- The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria
    (ISIS, also known as Da'ash and ISIL) yesterday took control of Mosul,
    Iraq's second largest city. Various agencies are reporting that
    between 150,000 to 500,000 residents have fled Mosul. Two divisions
    of the the Iraqi army which were stationed in Mosul abandoned their
    posts and fled, offering no resistance to the invasion. According to
    reports, the army personnel donned civilian clothing and left Mosul
    by blending in with the fleeing residents. Some reports say the Iraqi
    commanders in Mosul said they were given orders not to fight but to
    flee, but this has not been confirmed.

    AINA contacted a former member of the Iraqi Parliament, whose identity
    cannot be revealed for his safety, who said "The Mosul provincial
    government was in collusion with ISIS. The innocent citizens of
    Mosul are paying the price of the manipulations of Atheel and Osama
    al-Nujaifi."

    Atheel al-Nujaifi is the current governor of the Nineveh Governorate
    and is a hard-line Sunni. It is reported that he fled Mosul ahead of
    the ISIS attack.

    Today the city of Tikrit, a Sunni stronghold, also fell to ISIS. A
    source from Tikrit, which AINA contacted via email, said "We are now
    calling on all international organizations for help because we are
    terrified by what we are hearing from the street. I wish you could
    convey our voices to those who can help to end the farce. The people
    are currently in the hands of a conspiracy between the government and
    the militias." She added "In Tikrit today, the prisons were opened
    and looting and pillaging began."

    Unconfirmed photo of a church in Mosul set on fire by ISIS.

    According to reports from Mosul, ISIS has gone on a rampage, looting
    and burning government buildings, raising its black flag throughout
    the city and burning churches. According to an AFP report, it stormed
    the Turkish consulate yesterday and kidnapped 48 people including
    the head of the diplomatic mission.

    World Watch Monitor reported that ISIS have moved into Christian areas
    near Mosul, and have occupied the Assyrian (also known as Chaldean
    and Syriac) village of Qaraqosh and entered the St. Behnam Monastery.

    ISIS has warned the Christian residents of Mosul, specifically women,
    to wear the Islamic veil. The warnings have come at checkpoints setup
    throughout the city by ISIS. The husband of an Assyrian woman was
    abducted at a checkpoint and threatened with death if his wife did
    not don the Islamic veil.

    ISIS members bombed an Armenian church which was under construction
    in the Left Bank neighborhood, near al-Salaam hospital.

    The Church of the Holy Spirit was looted by ISIS members, who removed
    most of its electrical equipment.

    Patriarch Sako of the Chaldean Church issued a statement to Fides,
    saying "We believe that the best solution to all these problems is
    the creation of a government of national unity in order to strengthen
    the control of the State and the rule of law in order to protect the
    Country, its citizens and their property and preserve national unity."

    As a tourist and a Christian your a big target and if you are taking family with you then you put them in unnecessary risk.....now if you would have criticized the level of Armenian volunteers going to Syria I might agree with you.
