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.

      USA: Turkey cannot fight PKK and jeopardize fight against ISIS
      By Paul Antonopoulos - 26/04/2017


      BEIRUT, LEBANON (9:12 A.M.) – Turkey cannot fight the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) at the expense of the regional fight to defeat ISIS, acting US Department of State spokesperson Mark Toner said in a briefing on Tuesday, Kom News reported.

      “We’re also cognizant of the threat that the PKK poses to Turkey but again the point we made to Turkey and I’m making now is that Turkey cannot pursue that fight at the expense of our common fight against the terrorists that threaten us all,” Toner told reporters.

      “We are very concerned, deeply concerned that Turkey conducted airstrikes earlier today in Northern Syria as well as Northern Iraq without proper coordination either with the United States or the broader coalition to defeat ISIS,” Toner added.

      Turkey considers the PKK as a terrorist group, in which they are also engaged in the fight against ISIS in both Syria and Iraq.

          Looks like the whole country is going to be "suspended". I am starting to like the Sultan.

          "Turkey suspends more than 9,000 police officers over 'Gulen links'

          It said the action had been taken on the grounds of national security.
          President Tayyip Erdogan accuses Mr Gulen of instigating a failed coup against him last July - a charge the cleric denies.
          Earlier, authorities detained more than 1,000 people in the latest operation against alleged Gulen supporters.
          The nationwide sweep was one of the largest such operations carried out in Turkey in months.
          As well as the 1,009 detained on Wednesday, arrest warrants were issued for another 3,224 people, as part of a police operation across Turkey's 81 provinces, reports said."

            Official's 'mugwump' insult leaves many scratching their heads

            © ROBERT ATANASOVSKI/AFP/Getty Images) Police officers try to contain protesters as they force their way into Macedonia's parliament to protest against what they say was an unfair vote to elect a parliamentary speaker, following months of political…
            Protesters stormed into Macedonia's parliament and assaulted the leader of the Social Democrats on Thursday after his party and ethnic Albanian allies voted to elect an Albanian as parliament speaker, witnesses said.
            Live television footage showed Social Democratic leader Zoran Zaev with blood trickling from one side of his forehead, not long after he announced that the majority coalition led by his party had elected Talat Xhaferi as parliament speaker.
            A Reuters witness saw nationalist protesters angered over Xhaferi's election beating up another lawmaker in parliament. Broken glass littered the floor and traces of blood were seen in hallways.
            Some of the roughly 200 protesters inside the parliament were masked. Police entered parliament after the disturbances erupted but did not immediately seek to quell the protesters, witnesses said.
            Macedonia has been without a functioning government since 2015 when the country sank into political turmoil over a wiretapping scandal that brought down the ruling nationalist VMRO-DPMNE party bloc.
            Elections were held in December 2016 but no government has been formed yet, though Zaev forged a majority coalition in parliament together with ethnic Albanians.
            But that parliamentary alliance has triggered daily street protests by Macedonian nationalists in Skopje. Ethnic Albanians comprise a third of the country's population.
            VMRO-DPMNE lawmakers challenged the legality of Thursday's vote, saying it was not carried out electronically as is the usual case because the parliamentary session had formally ended.
            "I condemn the attacks on MPs in Skopje in the strongest terms. Violence has NO place in Parliament. Democracy must run its course," the EU commissioner in charge of enlargement, Johannes Hahn, said in a tweet.
            "This is the time for dialog and not for violence," Mats Staffansson, Sweden's ambassador to Skopje, told reporters on behalf of EU and U.S. legations in Macedonia.
            The current crisis is the worst since 2001 when Western diplomacy helped drag the country of 2.1 million people back from the brink of civil war during an ethnic Albanian insurgency, promising it a route to membership of the EU and NATO. But Macedonia has made little progress in that direction.
            Shortly before protesters charged into parliament, Zaev told reporters, "With 67 votes we have elected a new parliament speaker. I want to congratulate Talat Xhaferi and good luck to all of us."
            Xhaferi became the first ethnic Albanian parliament speaker in Macedonia since the small, economically troubled Balkan country won independence from then-Yugoslavia in 1991.

              When oil prices stay down and the glorious state of azeristan tightens its belt, the BTR-82A is their iskander and "diplomats" go on shopping.

              "When is a theft not a theft? When the suspect has diplomatic immunity, of course.

              The wife of an Azerbaijani diplomat walked away scot free after she was caught using a baby stroller to shoplift merchandise from a Bronx department store.
              A security guard at Marshalls on the Grand Concourse in Fordham caught Mehriban Jabrayilov trying to leave the store with $188.88 worth of items in a bag stuffed into the bottom of the baby stroller Tuesday, sources said.
              Jabrayilov, 29, told cops called to the store she is married to Azerbaijan’s First Secretary Farid Jabrayilov, 32, and has diplomatic immunity."

                Այսօր՝ ապրիլի 27-ին, Բոսֆորից 40 կմ հեռավորության վրա մեկ այլ նավի հետ բախման արդյունքում խորտակվել է ՌԴ ԶՈւ Սևծովյան նավատորմի «Լիման» հետախուզական նավը:

                Այս մասին հայտնել են ՌԴ պաշտպանության նախարարությունից. փոխանցում է «ՌԻԱ» լրատվական գործակալությունը:

                Նշվում է, որ «Լիմանը» բախվել է Տոգոյի դրոշի ներքո նավարկող «Աշոտ-7» նավին, ինչի արդյունքում առաջացած ճեղքվածքի պատճառով խորտակվել է:

                «Լիմանը» կառուցվել էր 1970 թվականին Լեհաստանի Գդանսկ քաղաքում և նախապես նապատեսված էր օվկիանոսագիտական ուսումնասիրությունների համար, իսկ 1989-ին արդիականացվել էր որպես հետախուզական նավ:

                  New York, April 28, 2017--The Azerbaijani government should immediately stop trying to permanently block access to five independent media outlets' websites and should instead lift a decree that has rendered them currently inaccessible, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today.

His business partner was declared dead at the hospital. Karimian was sentenced in absentia to six years in prison by Tehran’s Revolutionary Court in 2016 on charges of “acting against national security” and “propaganda against the state.”

                      Re: Regional geopolitics

                      BEIRUT (AP) — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Sunday his country may take further action against Kurdish militants in Iraq and Syria, as U.S.-backed forces in Syria closed in on the last neighborhoods of a former stronghold of the Islamic State group.
                      The U.S. views the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces as the most effective partner to counter the Islamic State group in northern Syria, an assessment bolstered by the SDF's steady advances against the jihadists. But it has complicated relations with Turkey, which views the group's Kurdish component as an extension of a terror group operating inside its own borders.
                      In Istanbul, Erdogan insisted that U.S. support for such groups "must come to an end," and said he would bring up the matter at a meeting with President Donald Trump next month.
                      The SDF, which include Arab fighters, seized six neighborhoods from IS militants in Tabqa on Sunday, according to the affiliated Hawar news agency.
                      Tabqa is 40 kilometers (25 miles) southeast of the Islamic State group's de facto capital Raqqa and an important stronghold for the militants. It lies next to the Tabqa Dam, one of several controlling the flow of the Euphrates River.
                      The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said the SDF's control of Tabqa was "practically total."
                      A U.S. air lift of artillery and special forces advisers to place them behind IS lines in March was a turning point in the Tabqa offensive and underscored the closeness between Washington and the SDF.
                      Turkey, however, has remained hostile to the Kurdish People's Protection Units, known by their Kurdish acronym the YPG, which form the backbone of the SDF. The YPG are close to the Kurdish PKK insurgent group in Turkey, which is designated as a terror organization by NATO and the U.S.
                      Last week, Turkey struck at YPG positions inside Syria, killing 20 fighters and media activists, according to the group, prompting Kurdish parties to call for a U.S.-enforced no-fly-zone over northern Syria.
                      U.S. troops were seen Saturday in armored vehicles in Syria in Kurdish areas in a show of force apparently intended to dissuade Turkey and Syrian Kurdish forces from attacking one another. Kurdish officials describe the U.S. troop movement as "buffer" between them and Turkey.
                      Video from northern Syria showed the U.S. patrols parked alongside Kurdish units flying the YPG flag.
                      "We will be forced to continue (our offensives)," Erdogan said. "We won't provide a date and time for when we'll come. But they will know that the Turkish military can come."
                      Erdogan is due in Washington on May 16 for his first meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump.
                      The YPG is distrusted by Turkish-backed anti-government forces in Syria, who say the group is an ally of President Bashar Assad's government. The YPG and Syrian government forces have largely avoided confrontation over the course of the country's six-year-long civil war.
                      Other Kurdish parties accuse the YPG's political arm, the PYD, of squelching dissent and embracing authoritarianism.
                      In other developments, more than a thousand residents of Damascus suburbs demonstrated against anti-government rebel infighting, activists said, only to be met at one demonstration by rebels who tried to disperse the protest with gunfire.
                      Videos from the Arbin suburb showed demonstrators scrambling for cover after gunmen dressed in military fatigues lined up in front of the march and fired, largely into the air.
                      Seven protesters were wounded, according to the activist-run Ghouta Media Center, which posted the video. The Observatory said 12 people were wounded.
                      Demonstrators blamed the powerful Army of Islam group for trying to suppress the march.
                      The infighting pits the Army of Islam against the al-Rahman Corps and al-Qaida-linked group the Levant Liberation Committee, or Hayat Tahrir al-Sham. Each side blames the other for triggering the fighting in the power struggle over control of eastern Ghouta.
                      The area, which includes Arbin, has been held under siege by government forces for more than three years. Residents depend on smuggling and local farming for food.
                      "My friend, the mujahid. You are responsible for our struggle. You are not a mercenary. Do not point your gun at your people," one of the signs held by demonstrators announced. "The struggle is the path to heaven. Beware of the path to hell."
                      In 48 hours of fighting, the Observatory said at least 87 insurgents from the warring sides were killed. Eight civilians were also killed in the fighting.

                      Trump celebrates 100-day mark by railing against the media — and seeking to steal spotlight from D.C. gala
                      President Trump was here to celebrate the achievements of his first 100 days in office, but first, he had a few words to say about the news media — more than a few words, actually. Taking the stage at a farm expo center here before a packed crowd of several thousand people in a key swing state he won last November, Trump spent the first quarter of his speech — nearly 15 minutes — railing against the “incompetent, dishonest” media that he claimed had been “purposely negative” about his first months in office. “If the media’s job is to be honest, they deserve a big, fat failing grade,” Trump declared in a scathing rant that prompted his supporters to turn around and boo reporters on the scene to cover his remarks.

                      Turkey blocks access to Wikipedia
                      Turkey has blocked online encyclopaedia Wikipedia, the telecommunications watchdog said on Saturday, citing a law allowing it to ban access to websites deemed obscene or a threat to national security. The move is likely to further worry rights groups and Turkey's Western allies, who say Ankara has sharply curtailed freedom of speech and other basic rights in the crackdown that followed last year's failed coup. It cited a law that allows it to block access to individual web pages or entire websites for the protection of public order, national security or the well-being of the public.

                      Samantha Bee brings biting satire, star power to D.C. on Trump’s 100th day
                      When comedian Samantha Bee announced in late January that she would be holding an alternative White House Correspondents’ Dinner, it was not yet clear that President Trump would not attend the actual dinner itself. By the time the weekend rolled around, though, Trump’s decision not to attend the official event — coupled with the White House Correspondents’ Association’s aggressive reorientation of their dinner around the group’s role as a defender of the First Amendment and grantor of scholarships to student journalists — gave Bee’sx“Not the White House Correspondents’ Dinner” a different flavor. The TBS star’s midafternoon black-tie xxxxtail party and taping of the special episode of “Full Frontal with Samantha Bee” was held at the Daughters of the American Revolution Constitution Hall near the Washington Mall on Saturday.

                      Trump appeals for loyalty as 100th day fanfare threatens to fall flat
                      On his 100th day in office, Donald Trump declared himself ‘disappointed’ with congressional Republicans. On his 100th day in office, facing a historically low popularity rating, a succession of intractable foreign crises and multiple investigations of his links with Moscow, Donald Trump reminded the nation that 1 May was Loyalty Day. Making his remarks in an interview with Fox News timing with the 100-day mark, Trump also declared himself “disappointed” with congressional Republicans – despite his many “great relationships” with them.

                      Mob in India lynches two Muslims over suspected cow theft
                      A mob in India beat to death two Muslims who were accused of trying to steal cows for slaughter, police said on Monday, the latest incident in a surge of violence blamed on hardline Hindu groups. Some Hindu groups are demanding a ban on the slaughter of cows, which many Hindus regard as sacred.' Activists have been making their demands more vociferously since Prime Minister Narendra Modi, of the Hindu-nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, came to power in 2014. About 20 people attacked the two Muslim youths, beating them with sticks, after they were accused of plotting to steal cows.
