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.

    All kurds were yazidi before Islam

    = Yazidi original Kurds.

    You fail.
    Let us compare

    Dutch speak Dutch: Flemish people speak Dutch
    Dutch pray in Dutch: Flemish people pray in Dutch
    Dutch religious books are in dutch so are the Flemish
    They have the same culture
    They dress the same

    so are they the same people? No they aren't even though they have so many similarities.

      Now your just making comparisons instead of using actual scientific and factual statements to counter me, like I said this stops here, I have no desire in proving anything to an ignorant person like you. It's like talking to a brick wall.

        I did the same thing as you did, it is not my fault that you don't know the history of the Low Lands is it? And do you think you will achieve anything with insulting me? Will it make your point somehow better? Or will it give you more credibility?

          Not every situation can be compared, and must be looked at and analyzed on an individual basis, and I don't care about the dutch, the Yazidi however are Kurds, and have always been Kurds, and like I said 40,000 confused Yazidis in Armenia will not change anything, every scholar in the world is lunging at what the notion of a yazidi ethnicity and everyone in the world knows Yazidis are Kurds, including the Yazid:

          Yazidis are predominantly ethnic Kurds
          http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...t-Yazidis.html

          Now, I've provided so many sources, all you've done, is twist my words, make a stupid comparison and think your right, so like I said, I will just ignore you from now on.

          Armenian parliament supports Yazidikhaya

          Many Armenian politicians support Amare’s group and not those that consider Yazidis to be Kurds. This has further contributed to the Yazidis’ identity crisis. The politicians’ support for Amare’s organization is mostly because of historical reasons, among them the massacre of Armenians by the Ottomans in early 20th century. Many Armenian Kurds say the parts of Kurdistan currently in Turkey were historically populated by Armenians, before the Kurds took over the area.

          In 2002, the Armenian parliament passed a resolution identifying the Yazidis as non-Kurds while in reality right wing Armenians have look down upon all minorities in Armenia, not only Kurds.

          Another major factor contributing to this identity crisis is the lack of any relationship between Kurds in various parts of Kurdistan and the Yazidis of Armenia. The Reya Taza newspaper, the most important Kurdish publication in Armenia, does not receive any support from the Kurds of other parts of Kurdistan.

          Yazidikhana newspaper however, the one that opposes the Kurds, receives support from the Armenian government and it is published on a weekly basis. Also, half of the one-hour Kurdish radio broadcast in Armenia is dedicated to those who argue that Yazidis are not Kurds.

          Another major problem is the weakening of Kurdish identity among urban Yazidis, especially those living in the capital and other large cities and do not care if they are Kurds or not. Also, many Kurds who live as minorities in villages dominated by conservative Armenians avoid revealing their Kurdish identity, so as to not provoke their Armenian neighbors.

          Yazidi Kurds else where are now fully aware of your intentions, and it will not go un-noticed, trust me.

          Like I told you, eventually Kurdistan will be much more appealing to these people than Armenia is, and once more frequent visits to their holy sites of Lalish occur, all we have to do is re-educate them, so your efforts will fail miserably.

            So you use the daily mail that not even British people use in debates because it is filled with so much BS no one takes it seriously. Your Second source if it even can be called that is a Kurdish newspaper so if you find real sources. You really should do better result before posting.

              Yeah yeah, the typical ignorant behavior "I'm right, everyone is wrong' If you didn't bother to read, the report followed an interview.

              More Yazidi sites: http://www.ezdixane.ru/ in Russian.

              It's inevitable, Yazidis are among the most nationalist Kurds in the south, you think they will just let you brain wash their people in Armenia? you think eventually there will not be frequent visits to lalish? it's just a matter of time, and that twat, fool that your government bought will fail, I mean the kind of crap he said was amazing, I don't know where you found him, he spoke to the reporter in Kurmaji Kurdish and said 'The yazidi language is different, we can't understand Kurds' while he was speaking to the reporter in the same language, it's ridiculous what some uneducated trolls will do for money, but don't worry it won't be too long becuase their re-educated.

                More sources (Books) -





                Museums face the task of representing the similarities and differences that exist between groups, such as national identities and indigenous and minority voices, material and intangible heritage, and current status and past history. In order to achieve this aim, a complex and not always easily compatible set of interests have to be taken into account, from those of the museum itself, to those of its main audiences, sources of support, and the groups that are, or wish to be, represented. The approach taken by Scandinavian museums in response to this challenge highlights a very active concern for forms of cultural diversity and how they are interrelated. By bringing together debates and discussions of diversity, this volume offers insight into the Nordic region and its diverse peoples, from the Sámi and the Inuit to newer immigrants. It presents a set of historical reviews on the formation of national museums and emerging and contested perceptions of national identity. Furthering the general debate on representations of diversity and museums, it also offers museum curators possible ways forward.


                The Aim Of This Encyclopaedia Is To Highlight The Living Style Of More Than 350 Million People Of 47 Countries Of Middle-East And Central Asian Countries Who Have Been Residing In These Areas (Both Past And Present) And The Factors That Have Caused The Culture To Change Over Time And Place. This Monumental Work Presents An Ethnographical Analysis Of 227 Ethnic Communities Written By Eminent Scholars Which Deals With The Physical, Historical, Social, Political, Economic, Religious And Cultural Life. Summaries Of Each Entry Usually Provide Information On The Following Aspects: Physical Features; History Of Origin And Development; Social Life; Marriage And Family; Political Organisation; Social Conflict And Control; Economic And Commer-Cial Activities; Religion And Culture; And Bibliography For Further Studies.




                Into Kurdistan is a journey through the lives of a people without a country. Part travelogue and part political commentary, it portrays both the pride and the oppression of the Kurdish people. Sheri Laizer recounts the drama of a family living close to the border, hearing gunshots and wondering if a favoured son will make it home at night. She shares the companionship of Kurdish women in the mountains, washing in the melted snow. She captures the ambiguity of Kurdish intellectuals entwined in the cultural life of Turkey, a country which refuses to acknowledge the very existence of Kurdish identity. And she paints a vivid picture of the centuries of tradition behind the people who have given the Middle East some of its greatest heroes, from Saladin onwards. Into Kurdistan uncovers the recent atrocities in Iraq, and the systematic persecution suffered by the Kurds in Turkey. In a marvellous blend of political commentary, folktale and sympathetic observation, Sheri Laizer helps us understand the people behind the headlines.

                    Read what I wrote again, the YAZIDI themselves are not happy about it, they themselves stated that their Kurdishness will not be compromised or challenged, so if they want to re-educate their own religious brothers that live else where, no body can stop them.

                    Erbil, April 11 (AKnews) – The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) has opened for the first time a museum for the Syriac Heritage in Erbil, the capital of Kurdistan Region.
                    kalapur sryani
                    The museum was opened in a ceremony in the predominantly Christian town of Ainkawa, some 5 km west of Erbil city, where more than 2,000 artifacts have been put on the showcase.

                    “When we talk bout protecting the Christians, we do not mean to protect them as refugees, they are indigenous people of this country and have contributed to determining the history of Iraq” said Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG)'s Minister of Culture and Youths Kawa Mahmoud during the opening.

                    Syriac personalities including the Beshar Mati Warda, archbishop of Chaldean Diocese of Erbil.

                    “we are very pleased to see this museum open in Erbil where our history is being preserved” said Warda, “It is regrettable tat the Iraqi government has not taken such a brave step, thus denying our history which is a form of terror”

                    “We do not need the construction of churches, but schools where our history is studied so that the Iraqi people know how much we have served this country” he added.

                    The museum shows 2000 artifacts that include clothes, agricultural tools, home equipments, Syriac writings, journalism, music instruments, and all the heritage that date back to some 50 to 250 years collected from around Iraqi cities and towns, said Saadi Malih, director of Syriac Culture in the KRG Ministry of Culture and Youth.


                    You won't win, our constitution and actions prove that we are way more tolerant than you are.

                      Proof that they are not happy? They themselves don't want to be called Kurds.

                      In Armenia everyone is equal as any other real state. How are you more tolerant, by forcefully 're-educating' people accepting your view of them? Is that what is tolerant and liberal?
