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.

    Re: The Situation of the Yezidis in Armenia

    Looks like the pot is calling the kettle black. Kurds took over Armenian homes and help assist the Turks in the genocide and now you want us to feel sorry for you. I don't believe the article. Remember, what goes around comes around.

      Re: The Situation of the Yezidis in Armenia

      You see... We've heard the Armenian side of the story, so we tend to think that it was the Kurds who did such things, but why the hell would we, with the mentality we tend to have, claim we did the same to minorities in our lands?

      That is why I'm interested in finding out if we're covering up our own ruthless acts.

      We should not reject these claims based on grounds that they've done this once before... I don't see how one claim logically cancels out the other from being true.

          No. Azeris fled by themselves or because of villagers or the army during the Artsakh war. Kurds fled in the same way that Armenians fled: for reasons of poverty. There are still many Kurds living in Armenia, mostly in villages. They have right to their own language, to their own newspapers, to their own radio-stations, to their own religion. From that perspective, the Armenian government is very lenient towards the Kurds. If there are stereotypes, they come from the people, not the government. If the situation of Kurds in Armenia was as bad as this person claims it is, we would have surely heard of it. Why should the international community have no fear tapping Turkey on its fingers for maltreating the Kurds, but be afraid to do the same to Armenia? Makes no sense. What this person wrote never happened.

            The story you posted is very horrible. I don't see why you should end it with a grin. What's your point, exactly?

              The Kurds admit to helping the Turks during the genocide. There is no Armenian side of the story. The truth is that while a few Kurds helped hide and shelter Armenians, the majority benifited by taking over Armenian homes and assets. Many Armenian children left over from the genocide where forced to adopt Kurdish names and convert to Islam.

              The Kurds like to play the role of being the victom. Kurds are quite gifted at being sheep herders,tree climbers, and garbage collecters. Unfortunately for them, there are very few educated Kurds. That is why they keep getting manipulated by the U.S. government in Iraq, Iran and Turkey. The sad part is that they keep falling for it. At some point, the Kurds have to realize that playing the sympathy card is not working.

              I don't see what they have to gain by writing such fabrications. They often complain of human rights violations in Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran. It shocks me that they would try to also include Armenia. You would think that it would be a good idea to have an allie in the middle east which could help support their claims against Turkey.

                For those who are unfamiliar with Kurds, here are a few examples

                    Of course the USA is in your hands. We have many cats stuck on top of trees. We need good tree climbers to bring them down.
