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.

    See post 77: This thread is about family relationships / DNA / Assimilation: Title = "Are Iranian-Armenians Iranian? What is Armenian Assimilation?" The Only Topical Comments & Responses are at Posts 1 & 15-18.

    It happens all of the time: Mahaya Petrossian actually moved to London and found an Iranian guy there ... I wish her happiness.
    LONDON, October 24 (IranMania) - The well-known Armenian actress of Iranian origin, Mahaya Petrossian converted to Shia Islam last week. According to the Sunday issue of the Persian morning daily of Tosse'e quoting Khurshid website, she converted to Islam following her marriage to a Muslim young man. Speaking to Khurshid reporter, she confirmed the report and said that she had been in doubt for a long time whether to remain a Christian or convert to Islam. "However, what happened in my personal life, namely my marriage to a Muslim man, put an end to my doubt and I eventually became a Muslim," added the actress.

      We Armenian in Iran have never been in that mix and have always managed to maintain our own unique ancient roots from our way of life. It has been objective number one, ask any Paskahay who has been an adult in Iran.

      We look different as well against our Persian friends and the Iranians can tell right away from looks (most of the time) that we are Armenians. We also speak Farsi with a strong Armenian accent.
      The region of north west Iran used to be Armenia more than 1,000 years ago.
      In classical times (say before Christianity), there was probably nothing to stop Persians and Armenians mixing in that region

        "2,000 [fn 1] years ago the world’s total population was about 300 million – today it’s about 7 billion. In other words, during the time Persians and Armenians started intermarrying the world’s population was 2,333 times smaller. If you consider the population of Armenia today (about 3 million) and you reduce it to the time-periods in history when Persians and Armenians started intermarrying, you see that Armenians were a small group. Using my rough numbers one can extrapolate that all of Armenia would have had something like 1,285 people 2,000 years ago – at most it was just a little village. For the sake of Argument let’s overestimate and pretend Armenia had 20,000 people 2,000 years ago. Nevertheless, do you know how quickly intermarriage for centuries with Persians (a much more populous group) would have become part of the Armenian genetic family tree? Very quickly. Now consider that this intermarriage went on for centuries; that Armenia was a part of Persia; that the Armenian Kings came from Persian ancestry; and in the oldest pictures of Armenians more than 2,000 years old, Armenians look like Iranians. There’s only one conclusion one can draw. "
        The absurdity is simply overwhelming.
