If I remember correctly, the Dutch police found (and took over) a Kurdish camp where Kurds were being trained and sent to Armenia... What would this really mean? Is there a region in Armenia where there's a strong Kurdish presence, and where they would be thinking of independence? Or were these Kurds being sent in a Kurdish camp in Armenia, so that they prepare their ''thing'' against Turkey safely?

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:

- 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.

- 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.

Armenian support for the Kurdish cause?

I don't understand why we should not root for the Kurds.
1. They can start territorial problems with Turkey.
2. They might even take some of our historical lands from Turkey. Wouldn't that be better than Turkey having them?? Since we have been having good relations with them lately and have been helping them out, perhaps they would repay us with free movement around the territories, giving us a chance to do things like climb Ararat, restore Aghtamar and Ani, etc. If they were REALLY nice they'd even give us a little bit of land but that is more than doubtful. Regardless though, wouldn't our lands under the control of a former enemy be better than our lands under the control of a current enemy?
Why are you so sure they will never get the lands of Eastern Turkey Pyunik? The freaking entire population of Eastern Turkey is already overwhelmingly majority Kurd, and with the independence movement due to come from the Iraq civil war there is a good chance they'd want to join together into one. I wouldn't say never with this case.

Although I am not a big fan of Kurds, I have no problem if they start a rebellion against TUrkey. Not my phucking problem.

Originally posted by HayqTurkey is a better enemy than the Kurds. I really do not think Turkey is a CURRENT enemy. The Kurds, if gained that land, could easily come after Armenia. They have no treaties signed with anyone and a war with the Kurds would be fair game. At least with Turkey you know there is the CFE and NATO would not really care about taking Armenia militarily.
Originally posted by HayqIf they get these lands, there will be soo much bickering that Turkey can retake it in a flashLast edited by IAmMadAtAC; 01-02-2005, 03:44 PM.

By supporting the Kurdish cause, you give validity to their claims over Armenian lands.
Kurds in Armenia as an ethnic minority are respected, just like any ethnic minority should be respected. Many of them even volunteered during the Artsakh Liberation movement, because many feel that they are citizens of Armenia. Our relationship should not go beyond that, in my humble opinion.
Interests change, and so do your allies. By supporting the Kurds now, it might bite us in the a$$ later.
