You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)

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

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)

  • Section 907

    PLEASE ask President Bush to reimplement Section 907...Azerbaijan is still in a state of war with Azerbaijan, and Section 907 should not be suspended. The Armenian lobby should do its part...even though the xxxish lobby will vote against it, since Azerbaijan is Israel's puppet.

    Iran Forever,

    Do you know if the Iranian Government has any "907" type programs that it extends to Armenia?

      Crusader, I thought Section 907 was about not sending arms to Azerbaijan or giving Azerbaijan economic aid as long as it is in a state of war with Armenia...therefore I didn't catch your question...I want Bush to keep 907 preventing USA from helping Azerbaijan in any way, shape or form...Please rephrase the question, because I am confused...

            You should look through the archives on ArmeniaNow.com. There was an issue that had a bunch of articles about Armenian-Iranian relations and one of them was about economic cooperation.

              Despite your claims and propoganda, Azeri Turk regime in Tehran is secretly planning to unite with the Republic of Azerbaijan and is settling its differences with the leadership in Azerbaijan. Due to nationalist Azeri opinion in Iran, it is only a matter of time where Azeri Turks in Tehran decide that The Republic of Azerbaijan is a friend and Armenia is actually the enemy. The only thing that has prevented this is the existence of a political force that represents Non-Azeri turk opinion in Iran. The following article by an official Baku publication representing the government in Azerbaijan shows the real views of The Republic of Azerbaijan toward Azeri Turk regime in Tehran.

              This article is official government views of the Repulic of Azerbaijan on Iran.

              It explains that:

              1. Azeris are running Iran.
              2. The Republic of Azerbaijan does not really like or support the Azeri protests in Iran and prefers to be on the Tehran regime side.


              BAKU: Azeri paper criticizes opp calls for revolution in Iran

              * Date: Sun, 28 May 2006 21:57:07 -0700 (PDT)

              Azeri paper criticizes opposition's calls for revolution in Iran

              Zerkalo, Baku
              24 May 06

              The Azerbaijani newspaper Zerkalo has criticized the country's
              opposition for calling for a revolution in Iran. Commenting on the
              latest protests by Iran's ethnic Azeri community following the
              publication of an insulting cartoon in the Iranian press, the
              newspaper described the cartoon as a provocation that does not meet
              the interests of Iran's ruling elite and linked it to a recent
              statement by the Iranian prince that he is ready to return to Iran and
              head the country. The paper warned Azeris against supporting the
              Iranian prince because, it said, he will "follow in his father's
              footsteps" and suppress the national movement. Zerkalo also said that
              there is no guarantee that the United States will support Iranian
              Azeris. The following is an excerpt from A. Rasidoglu's report by the
              Azerbaijani newspaper Zerkalo on 24 May headlined "Ayatollah or shah -
              which is more beneficial to Azeris?" and subheaded "Rebellious Tabriz
              is running the risk of falling victim to the political games of super
              powers again". Subheadings in the text have been inserted editorially:
              Protest rallies against Persian chauvinism in Tabriz have ended in
              bloody clashes. Teymur Eminbayli, secretary-general of the World
              Azerbaijani Congress, has told the Mediaforum website that [the
              police] opened fire at protesters in Tabriz.

              Azeri protests and casualties

              According to preliminary reports, 20 people were wounded and 250
              arrested. There have been quite contradictory reports about the
              killed protesters. One report says eight people were killed while
              another one says that not a single person was killed.

              Eminbayli said hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets in
              Tabriz in support of the student movement yesterday. The whole area
              between the place called Saatqabagi and Bazar Meydani was full of
              people.

              According to Eminbayli, some members of the Islamic Revolutionary
              Guards Corps and some officials of Azeri origin sided with the people
              and refused to follow the order to open fire at their own people. But
              this was not enough to prevent the bloodshed: the Tehran regime opened
              fire at ethnic Azeris living in Iran.

              The Iranian law-enforcement agencies used various sabotage methods
              during the protest. For instance, several specially trained people
              broke windows of shops and banks in order to put the blame on
              demonstrators. Several police cars and bikes were set ablaze. An
              Iranian flag was set ablaze during the protest. Towards the end of the
              rally, the authorities used helicopters.

              Eminbayli said the police fired at demonstrators from helicopters and
              used tear gas. Reports say that the protests have not subsided in the
              city of Zanjan yet and that rallies are continuing in other cities of
              southern Azerbaijan.

              [Passage omitted: reported details; a group of people attempted to
              stage a protest outside the Iranian embassy in Baku; the Iranian
              authorities have arrested the editor and cartoonist of Iran newspaper;
              the Iranian culture minister has apologized to Azeris]

              Provocation by state-run newspaper

              A strange situation has emerged: a state-run newspaper resorts to such
              a dirty provocation at the moment when it is necessary to mobilize the
              whole society and enlist the support of Azeris - residents of
              Tabriz. Tabriz is known as the inspirer of all revolutions in Iran,
              including the so-called Islamic revolution of 1979.

              Is it a coincidence? Unlikely. Does this kind of provocation meet the
              interests of Iran's ruling elite? Also unlikely.

              Is it a coincidence that this article appeared after the son of
              [Mohammad] Reza Shah said that he was ready to head Iran? The answer
              is the same.

              It is no secret to anyone that it was under the shah when Azeris were
              publicly humiliated. At that time, no-one could even dream of speaking
              in Azeri openly in Tehran. Apart from that, there was a very small
              number of high-ranking officials of Azeri origin in the shah's circle.

              Today there are enough Azeris in the ruling elite. You do not have to
              go too far for examples - it is enough to mention only one and the
              most important one: the spiritual leader of the Islamic revolution,
              Khamene'i, who is of Azeri origin.

              So is a state-run newspaper calling its spiritual leader a thingyroach?
              This is either utter stupidity, which is hard to believe, or an open
              provocation.

              The second theory is more convincing and in fact, almost indisputable.

              It is another matter that Azeris living in the Islamic Republic of
              Iran are deprived of their right to education in Azeri. Azeris have
              considered Iran to be their homeland since time immemorial, and Azeri
              dynasties ruled Iran until the 1920s. After Reza Shah came to power,
              Iran became a "Persian country", and they started calling Azeris
              "donkeys". Such an attitude by Persian chauvinism brought about the
              overthrow of the shah.

              Everybody understands very well that in the current circumstances, the
              Tehran regime can lose everything only after losing Azeri
              support. Then who needed to publish such an article in a state-run
              newspaper? We will come on to this later.

              There is no doubt that Azeris living in Iran have problems that need
              to be solved. Even the current Iranian constitution, specifically
              Article 15, clearly says that every nation has the right to education
              in its own language. But this is only on paper, in fact this
              constitutional right has nothing to do with Azeris.

              Evolution preferred to revolution

              Some analysts suppose that such a development of the situation can
              prompt Iranian Azeris to establish their own autonomy or federation,
              or to proclaim their independence.

              But southern Azerbaijan is actually divided into eastern and western
              provinces. If a federation is proclaimed, Azeris might lose their
              territories as a nation in the end. Therefore, as Lenin said, one
              should take a different path. In this case, the evolutionary path is
              more acceptable. Suffice it to remember that after WWII, southern
              Azeris attempted to establish an independent state with the support of
              the Soviet Union. This idea failed pretty soon. Then Azeri public
              leaders reviewed their claims and started talking about autonomy
              within Iran regardless of the fact that the official state authorities
              took quite a tough approach to the settlement of the national issue.

              What did this bring about? Tehran started controlling all its
              territories.

              After that, Persian chauvinism took the reins of power in the country,
              and Azeri newspapers and radio stations were closed down and education
              in Azeri was banned. This is what the political romanticism of
              politicians from southern Azerbaijan brought about.

              Moreover, according to various reports, there are about 12m Azeris
              living in southern Azerbaijan at the moment, while the rest have moved
              to other places. A total of 12m people are living in Tehran now and 8m
              of them are Azeris.

              Calls for war against Iran unrealistic

              As for opposition politicians in Baku who call for a revolution in
              Iran, they had better "keep their mouth shut". Apparently, our
              politicians are so excited about rainbow colours that they have
              forgotten about their own bitter experience. Having failed to carry
              out an "orange" revolution in Azerbaijan, our "political brains" have
              decided to overthrow the "green" authorities - not in their own
              country, but in Iran. Indeed, they are trying to enforce their own
              illiterate rules in someone else's monastery.

              Moreover, it is foolish to call for war against Iran without retaking
              the Armenian-occupied territories. We witnessed this in 1993 when
              Azerbaijan was sandwiched between Turkey, Iran and Russia and fought a
              war with Armenia in that situation.

              There is another question - why did the Tehran regime and radical
              Shi'is prefer to support not Shi'i Azerbaijan, but Christian Armenia?
              This question, as it were, is completely clear. The point is that
              Christian Armenia has never laid territorial claims to Iran.

              Let us also remember that we destroyed the fences on the 700 km
              Azerbaijani-Iranian border in the early 1990s, after which groups of
              several thousand Azerbaijanis started crossing the border allegedly to
              meet their relatives living in Iran. Iran's response was very quick -
              some local Azeris were executed for alleged "disturbances" and others
              were put in prison, while the Soviet leadership issued an order to
              kill hundreds of Azerbaijanis in Baku, saying that there was a threat
              of an Islamic revolution.

              Within the circle of his supporters, Iran's hereditary prince started
              supporting the idea of autonomy for Azeris in order to gain their
              support and restore the monarchy. Let's imagine for a second that the
              monarchy has been restored and a revolution has taken place - the
              bearded are replaced by those without beards - and the prince is on
              the Iranian throne. This is a fairly attractive ideology for a single
              Iran, but only for the time being. The prince will soon follow in his
              father's footsteps and remember "Turkic donkeys".

              Is it worth taking a risk for a Persian chauvinist who calls us
              "donkeys" and lose absolutely everything - absolutely everything, not
              only the regime of religious officials most of whom are Azeris.

              Ethnic Azeri leader due in Baku soon

              Incidentally, [the leader of the National Revival Movement of Southern
              Azerbaijan] Mahmudali Cohraqanli will arrive in Baku soon to call on
              Iranian Azeris to become a force that will make the situation of the
              Tehran government at least a bit shakier. The NRMSA leader's visit to
              Baku causes a great interest especially against the background of
              aggravating Iranian-US ties. He has spent almost a year in the USA
              discussing the future status of southern Azerbaijan with various
              officials. However, "Uncle Sam" has not promised him anything for the
              time being. There is no guarantee that Washington will support
              southern Azeris to the very end.

              As for southern Azerbaijan, it is clear to everybody that the time is
              not ripe yet for mass protests by Azeris.

              Tehran has already made it clear that any attempt on Iran's
              territorial integrity will first of all affect the fate of Azeris.
              Even if the USA decides to occupy Iran, not a single well-known leader
              of southern Azeris will be left by that time in order to head the
              people's movement.

              Do Baku politicians who are not capable of protecting their own basic
              rights understand this? The question, as they say, is rhetoric.
