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.

Raymond Finch, a UK Independence Party (UKIP) member of the European Parliament said that the EU officials are absolutely terrified after 61.1 percent of Dutch voters rejected the EU-Ukraine association deal’s ratification in an advisory referendum.

Dutch Party for Freedom Say EU Must Heed Country's Rejection of Ukraine
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The EU officials are terrified of the end of the bloc looming after the Dutch citizens voted in a referendum on Wednesday against both the EU-Ukraine association and the Brussels policymaking in general, a UK Independence Party (UKIP) member of the European Parliament told Sputnik Thursday.
On Wednesday, 61.1 percent of Dutch voters rejected the EU-Ukraine association deal’s ratification in an advisory referendum, according to preliminary results. A turnout of 32.2 percent passed the 30-percent threshold to give the public vote legal weight.
“They [Brussels] are absolutely terrified. The people over there are already talking of it as being the beginning of the end of the European Union,” Raymond Finch said.

The Dutch Had Their Say: Media Reaction to EU Treaty Referendum
He added that this momentum will be supported by the referendum on the EU membership in the United Kingdom, "and we will see more and more things like what happened in the Netherlands yesterday."
“When we have our vote on the 23rd of June, and I think we will vote to get out, more and more people across Europe will say we want out as well. And it will also lead to separatism movements, people like the Basques, the Catalans, they will say that it is a prospect for having their own nation states again. This is what it is all about – democracy and self-determination, and the EU hates it, but they see that this movement is unstoppable," Finch pointed out.
The Netherlands is the only member state yet to ratify the agreement, which requires Kiev to implement vast reforms to meet the EU high economic, political and technical standards in exchange for market access.

Re: Regional geopolitics
The usual policy of speaking out of both sides of their mouth.
"Israel Must Not Sell Arms to the Azeris
The sale of weapons to a government committing genocide is like the sale of weapons to Nazi Germany during World War II."

"Turkey will ditch migrant deal if EU breaks promises: Erdogan
Istanbul (AFP) - Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday warned the European Union that Ankara would not implement a key deal on reducing the flow of migrants if Brussels fails to fulfil its side of the bargain.
Erdogan's typically combative comments indicated that Ankara would not sit still if the EU falls short on a number of promises in the deal, including visa-free travel to Europe for Turks by this summer."
