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.

    "Turkey tells Greece it owns eastern Aegean shelf

    Turkey is ready to take “all necessary measures” to protect the rights of Turkish Cypriots and Turkey’s ownership of the continental shelf in the eastern Aegean, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Çavuşoğlu tells Kathimerini in an interview.

    Çavuşoğlu claimed that an area where Turkey is exploring for hydrocarbons – Block 6 of Cyprus’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ) – belongs to Turkey’s continental shelf. He also reiterated that there was no sea border between Greece and Cyprus."



    Notice Block 6 in way south of the island has nothing to do with the occupied north.

    Turkish forces to take over largest Syrian military helicopter base in north Syra for use as command center

    BEIRUT, LEBANON (6:15 A.M.) – The Turkish Army is to take over one of the Syrian Arab Air Force’s largest helicopter bases in the country’s north and use it as a command center to oversee military positions recently it has set up across Idlib and Aleppo provinces.

    According to reports, a Turkish military convoy of four vehicles entered Syria on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday heading towards the Taftanaz Airbase in northern Idlib province.

    Upon arrival Turkish forces stayed at the site for several hours before departing back to Turkey.

    Opposition sources report that Turkey is planning to take over the Taftanaz Airbase and use it as a operations room to command positions – referred to as ‘observation points’ – recently established by its forces across northwest Syria.

    The development comes two days after the Turkish Army declared it had finished construction of a forth position in the Al-Eis region of southern Aleppo (opposite Syrian government lines).

    Turkish forces are reportedly planning on establishing ten military positions across northwest Syria, ostensibly to monitor a de-escalation agreement for the region that has been brokered by Moscow and Ankara.

    Breaking: Turkey-led forces claim chemical weapons attack launched by Kurdish fighters in Syria’s Afrin, major casualties

    BEIRUT, LEBANON (10:06 A.M.) – Turkey-led forces are claiming that Kurdish paramilitary groups in Syria’s Afrin region fired on them with chemical munitions delivered from artillery systems causing considerable casualties among their ranks.

    According to the official media center for the Olive Branch operations room, Kurdish forces have attacked pro-Ankara rebel groups with at least one artillery shell loaded with chlorine gas.

    Rebels say that the chemical attack took place at the town of Bulbul, located just kilometers from the Turkish border.

    Emerging reports by opposition sources claim that 20 rebel fighters were injured, seven of them critically.

    In recent days, pro-Ankara forces have suffered a series of tactical defeats around Bulbul, failing to break into mountain countryside further south and suffering notable losses in manpower and equipment for every assault.

    It is worth noting that the Free Syrian Army and opposition groups often make baseless chemical gas attack claims every time they are losing a major battle somewhere in the country.

    BEIRUT, LEBANON (7:00 A.M.) – The Kurdish-led YPG launched a big counterattack inside the Afrin region of Aleppo this week, resulting in their forces retaking several lost areas.

    Among the several areas recaptured this week were the town of Sheikh Khorouz and large hilltop of Tal Sheikh Khorouz, which were briefly under the control of the Turkish-backed rebels.

    According to pro-YPG media, their forces recaptured these two sites in northern Afrin, while also seizing an enemy personnel carrier and taking two Turkish-backed rebels prisoner.

    Below is a video from the attack that shows the YPG forces taking hold of the enemy’s ACV-15 personnel carrier near the large hilltop of Tal Sheikh Khorouz in the northern countryside of Afrin:

    Breaking: Russian Su-25 pilot killed in Syria returned to Russia

    BEIRUT, LEBANON (3:19 P.M.) – The body of a Russian Aerospace Forces combat pilot who was killed whilst inside Syrian rebel-held territory has been returned to Russia according to defense authorities.

    Moments ago, the Russian Ministry of Defence reported that the body of Russian Su-25 pilot Roman Filipov was returned to Russia following successful efforts between Moscow and Ankara to pressure Turkish-backed Syrian militant groups to hand it over.

    According to sources, the Faylaq al-Sham rebel group who possessed Filipov’s body after he was killed handed it over to the Turkish military who then passed it on to Russia.

    On Saturday, Roman Filipov was shot town by Al-Qaeda-affiliated forces wielding a man-portable anti-aircraft system near the city of Saraqib.

    He survived long enough to bail out of his stricken warplane but, having landing within rebel-held territory, was later engaged by a pursuing militant search party; he ended the chase by killing himself with a hand grenade after a brief firefight.

    Rate Article (4 / 1)

    BEIRUT, LEBANON (5:55 A.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) has recently deployed air defense missiles to the northern provinces of Idlib and Aleppo, following the Turkish military’s incursion in both governorates, the Reuters News Agency quoted a military commander on Monday.

    “The Syrian Army calls up new air defences and anti-aircraft missiles to areas on the frontlines with the militants in the countryside of Aleppo and Idlib,” the commander told Reuters.

    “They cover the air space of the Syrian north,” the report added.

    Damascus has repeatedly warned the Turkish regime in the past that they are willing to shoot down their warplanes if they continue to violate Syria’s sovereignty.

    Ankara has ignored Damascus’ calls and worked with directly with the Russians in order to achieve their political endeavors inside Syria.

    BEIRUT, LEBANON (1:10 A.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) allowed a massive convoy of fighters from the Kurdish-led People’s Protection Units (YPG) to travel through their lines in order to reach the Afrin region.

    According to a military source in Aleppo, the YPG convoy went through the town of Menbeij to the government lines, where they were freely allowed to use the roads to the Afrin region.

    The Syrian government is opposed to the Turkish military’s incursion in Afrin and has agreed to allow the YPG and their allies to send supplies and reinforcements to this front in order to fend off the attackers.

    Below are several photos of this massive YPG convoy that traveled through the government’s lines on Monday: YPG MediaYPG Media
