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.

    Before genocide there were regiments of Armenian volunteers fighting against Turks in Russian, Bulgarian, Greek, Rumanian armies as well as thousands of guerrillas, known as fedayeen in mountains of western Armenia. Our national hero, general Andranik, got his general rank in Bulgarian army, where he rose from rank of commanding Armenian regiment to commanding Bulgarian army regiments as we'll and brought several victories. He is awarded a status of Bulgarian national hero. Western observers were and are as stupid as Azeri sheep(our sheep are much smarter). What they failed, or chose not to see was the ottoman laws of that time that forbade any Christian to ride a horse In Eastern turkey. Any Christian owning a weapon was put to jail. Christian in those areas meant Armenians. In Turkish courts testimony and any claims of any Armenian was deemed invalid by law. I would not want to offend anyone, but anybody believing those idiocies by westerners is as stupid as they. In 1918 the Armenian volunteer of, I think, 3-4000 genocide survivors brigade fighting in British army, decimated the Turkish army of over 22000, in battle of Nablus Palestine. This heroic history Brits will never recognize in order not to upset their Turkish buddies will they?
    I'm glad to come back and see smart people keeping things in proper perspective. Andranik's forces have, according to his own memoirs, reached the 5000 mark. "200 fedayee" is patently ridiculous.

      But it was the Russians not Armenians is their answer as you know Hakob......one advantage we have over them is their weakness from their racist existence and delusions that they are superior.

        what about before genocide?

        Foreign visitors to Armenian lands (British, French, Russian) in the 19th century (and before), observed that Armenians were not a fighting race

        They said Armenians were good traders in the bazaar

        In the 18th century famous Iranian-Indian Armenian Joseph Emin travelled through Anatolia and Caucasus and found most Armenian churchmen and merchants not interested in rebellion or independence

        Before genocide maybe 200 Armenian guerillas out of Ottoman Armenian population of 2 million
        The version that is spread by Ronald Suny about the expedition of Joseph Emin is a complete lie. The journal entry of Emin riding into the village and being at first attacked by the villagers upon greeting them in Armenian is true. The part of the interview with the Kahana at the village about "the destiny of ARmenian being determined to be in the hands of the Ottomans by divine mandate" is also true, but only half the story!

        The continuation of the journal shows that the Kahana was merely taking precautions until such a time it is determined that Emin is in fact who he says he is, and is not in fact some Ottoman impostor. The first author to catch this lie by Suny is Armen Ayvazyan. He published the entire episode of Emin and that village in his book entitled The History of Armenia as Presented in American Historiography: A Critical Survey. 1998

        Here is the full text in the Sovorakan/Sylfaen (unicode) font http://www.artsakhworld.com/Armen_Ai...Index_Eng.html

        Suny's anti-Armenian rantings are completely exposed by Aryvazyan in that book. I highly suggest you read it. Remember that Suny has proudly proclaimed that he is, and I quote, "an anti-nationalist."

        Ironically, quite the opposite of how Suny presents it, Emin's journals reveal that the ARmenian rural populations as well were very nationalistic and prepared to join David Beg's campaign to liberate the entirety of ARmenia.

          I love your signature, Eddo, absolutely, and I agree that it is better to be underestimated.

                the inspiration to fight mostly came from foreigners - Russians, British, French. Only exceptionally from Armenian leaders. Are Italians inspired by a foreign power? No! Are Iranians? No!
