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.

    Israel relies on PKK to destabilize situation in Turkey – Russian expert

    14:16 • 11.06.11



    Israel has intensified collaboration with the Kurdistan Labor Party (PKK) in an attempt to destabilize the situation in Turkey, a Russian expert has said.

    In an article published in the Russian Nezavisimaya Gazeta, Anna Glazova from the Russian Institute of Strategic Research says PKK was particularly active in March.

    Citing her article, the Turkish news agency Cihan referred to the Kurdish rebels' armed attack against the motorcade serving Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

    The Russian expert claimed that the foreign powers rely on the Kurdish factor to exert pressures upon Ankara, with the United States and Israel acitvely backing such efforts.

    The author believes Israel wishes to see other states and ethnic groups in the Middle East and its collaboration with Kurds is targeted at such efforts.

    Speaking of the upcoming parliamentary election in Turkey, she further notes that the prime minister-led Justice and Development party has most chances to win. The Russian analyst believes that the ruling party's victory would pave way for the settlement of the Kurdish issue.

    Things like that will only worsen the Kurdish issue, becuase we need support from inside the Islamic word.. i.e. our neighbors and not Israel, don't listen to all the propaganda... if anything Israel helped Turkey against the PKK by supplying them with weapons (unmanned drones) and intelligence.

    I see you are just the same as the Turks, denying what your people did in the past, pretending everything is "good" and the minorities whom you have exterminated, oppressed, raped and killed, are feeling "perfect" under Kurdish control. What's the difference between you and the genocide-denying Turks.
    The Iraqi president ordered the massacres. Besides that is in the past, today thousands of Christians from Arab Iraq are fleeing to Kurdistan and receiving housing and other financial support, as I stated before they get all the rights:

    1. Language and ethnic group recognised, they are therefore not labeled as Kurds.
    - In Turkey, no one other than Turks are recognised, therefore everyone is a Turk.

    2. State funded schools that teach in their native language first, then Kurdish.
    - In turkey, everyone is forced to learn Turkish regardless of the ethnicity of the group.

    3. Equal representation in parliament according to their population % i.e. 11 reserved seats for minorities.
    - In turkey they have a 10% threshold and label any opposition part from different ethnicity as 'terrorists' and shut down the party, and eventually support for the party fades away as it gets banned anyway.

    4. Government recognizes all the religions therefore any religion can go to the religion and culture ministry and ask for funding, which is why so many churches have been built in Kurdistan.
    - In turkey most religions are oppressed.

    How are we like the Turks?

    Eastern Turkey = Kurdistan and nothing will change that, you better get used to it.
