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.

    A Subject of Essay about Armenian Allegations
    "THE WIND BLEW, THE WATER CARRIED AWAY"

    Translated from Armenian for ANN/Groong

    Marmara, ( http://www.normarmara.com/ ), Istanbul, 11 June 2003


    An article signed Pinar Selek has been published in the newspaper
    "Gündem", which condemns in a fairly sarcastic and meaningful manner
    the essays imposed on Armenian schoolchildren in order to disprove
    the Armenian Genocide. We are providing it after translation.

    **

    ESSAY: The Armenian Genocide did not happen.

    NAME: whatever

    AGE: very young

    SUBJECT OF THE ESSAY: to prove that the Armenian Genocide did not
    happen

    SCHOOL: any school depending upon the Education Ministry

    PURPOSE OF THE ESSAY: to be ranked first in the class, to be commended
    for his performance, to get a reward.

    *

    THE WIND BLEW, THE WATER CARRIED AWAY

    First, no such event as the Armenian Genocide happened in this country.
    Me, I have not seen such a thing. During all my life, I have not
    had even a single Armenian friend. I would not like to have one
    anyway. What am I going to do with a classmate who would not lend
    me his eraser or pencil? Our teacher told us that Armenians are
    stingy. Our teacher is a knowledgable man. He knows everything.

    Nobody knows who the Armenians were, where they lived. Perhaps there
    was no such thing as an Armenian. Perhaps, they were the kind of
    monsters about whom older persons used tell us. I am terrified when
    I hear the word "Armenian". We are lucky that they do not exist. If
    they existed, they would eat us. Our history teacher told us that
    Armenians were terrorists. They covet the indivisible unity of this
    country. Now they want to break Turkey into pieces, claiming that
    Armenians were murdered.

    Also, our history teacher said that the words "Armenian" and
    "terrorist" come from the same root. Both have the letters "er" in them
    [MARMARA: respectively "ERmeni" and "tERörist" in Turkish] The word
    "er" is related with the military and with murder [in turkish "er"
    means soldier] Of course it is not about the Turkish Army. Turkish
    soldiers do not kill anybody. Turkish solders like children, respect
    adults. But it looks like Armenians coveted especially the children
    of our age.

    I asked also my mother and my father. They did not tell me anything. My
    grand father does not know anything either. Even when I asked him
    once, he said "there is no such thing as an Armenian, who is inventing
    these words? No such word should come out of your mouth anymore." And
    me, after completing this essay, I shall never pronounce the word
    "Armenian" again.

    The village of my mother once belonged to Armenians. Once, my mother
    let it slip out. Then I asked her "Aren't you afraid that the ghosts
    of Armenians will come and eat you now?" then my mother slapped me. My
    mother never used to beat me. But why should she beat, she is not an
    Armenian isn't she? But, here you are, she was upset. The grand father
    of my mother apparently came to that village from another place. When
    they arrived, the village had been abandoned for a long time. The
    village dates back to the Hittite period. Everything is written in
    history books. Then the Seljuks arrived, and then the Ottomans. And
    finally the Republic.

    What happened to Armenians? There were no Armenians. There was a
    rumor that they had once existed.

    It's not us who murdered them. Turks don't even harm an ant. Turks
    don't know about arms. They say "peace in the country, peace in the
    world" and disribute flowers to everybody. Why should they assassinate
    other people? Turks are proud, they work and they feel confident. Happy
    is the one who says "I am a Turk."

    Nobody tells something about the Armenian Massacre. Recently, I have
    gone to the house of one of my friends. My friend's father said that
    Armenians changed their names and named themselves PKK. He told me
    what kind of crimes the PKK committed. I wept loudly. Apparently all
    Armenians were demons and worked only to harm our country.

    In reality it is them who killed us. They throw up their swords and
    charged against us by shouting "Allah! Allah!" They assassinated us
    indiscriminately, children, women, and elderly people. They slaughtered
    eveybody. They raped women, took some of the women with them and
    sold the rest. They did not even leave a single Turk. They commited
    Genocide against us. They appropriated all our possessions. Later
    God punished them. Suddenly, He sent all of them to Hell.

    Exactly like in tales. Then, they say that a miracle happened and
    suddenly we rose from the dead. We left our tombs and came back to
    life, a prince came, gave us a kiss and we woke up. And a fairy healed
    all our wounds. And this heavenly country was left to us.

    As for Armenians, the wind blew and the water carried them away.

                Alright...I shall clarify yet again.

                This article was written by a Turkish author, who was making fun of the turkish government's policy, in which armenians had to deny the existence of the armenian genocide.

                It is a parody of the kind of essay that would be judged as "acceptable" by the Ministry of education.

                    The Genocide will be dropped from books only when Armenian culture and language die out from the world.
