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.

    shocking news... at least for me

    GYUMRI AMERICAN CORNER OPENING
    On Tuesday, June 28 the official opening of the second American Corner in Armenia was held at the Gyumri branch of the Armenian Center for Scientific and Technological Information. U.S. Embassy Public Affairs Officer Kimberly Hargan opened the ceremony. {BR}

    American Corners are small, American-style libraries that are funded by the U.S. Department of State. These libraries help increase mutual understanding between Armenia and the United States by providing information about America in various electronic and print sources. Each American Corner features a diverse collection of English language books, reference materials about the United States, computers with Internet and access to online databases, CDs, and videos.

    Through this program, the U.S. embassy provided the American Corner in Gyumri with three computers, approximately 300 books, and a wide variety of electronic and print resources. The American Corner in Gyumri is open to the general public, free of charge, Monday through Friday from 09:00 to 17:00. In addition to a being full multi-media reference resource, the American Corner will host regular programming, including lectures, workshops, and video series.

    The U.S. Embassy opened its first American Corner in April of this year at the Yerevan City Isahakian Central Library. The U.S. Embassy plans to create a network of American Corners throughout Armenia in the coming years.





    If I may state my opinion on this I think Americans are trying to pollute our culture, what they do they don't do to help us. All I can say is that im totally against a goverment helping us when they do not even recognize the genocide... please tell me what you think on this issue and if you dont think its an issue please let me know what you think.

    n.b. is the cold war ever going to end ?

    I would be highly suspicious of anything the State Department is involved in. After all, we all know they were behind TARC. They'd also like to see another "Orange Revolution." The Trojan Horse comes to my mind.

      You cant be suspicious of every little thing and not see the positive aspects of it. Yes of course America is trying to raise awareness of its culture and help Armenians understand it more but this is also something that can help a lot in terms of education material in general and Gyumri as well as other regional centers need all the help they can get.

      If we go by your logic why dont we just sever relations with every single country in the world that has yet to recognize the genocide? We are not blackmailers and we dont need to be in order to get the genocide recognized, lets not sink to the level of Turkey.
