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.

      Don't you know that the thing called Armenian Genocide was done by the Kurds? Until 1915, the Kurds were living in mountains.After that time they learned living in houses which belonged to the Armenians before.They became rich with the money stolen from your ancestors.They raped Armenian women, even children.I had listened stories from Kurds in Bingol, a man was boosting with his grandfather's performance who raped a woman in front of her husband.It was really disgusting.

      They also inherited your culture.Today what we know as Kurdish music,dance etc. is totally Armenian.Of course the Kurds are not as civilized as you and perform these in primitive ways.If I were you, I would investigate what Kurds did in those years.You would face unbelievable barbaric stories.
      if you know anything about kurdish musical culture you wouldn't say that they have stolen all of our our music.....their tradition of folklor is very rich...just as armenian folklor...the people that are the real thieves when it comes to music are the turks......actually i know several armenians singers that perform their music in kurdish....

            Re: Kurdish minortiy in Armenia

            There are a few Moslem Kurds in Armenia, but most are Yezidis. However, the community is split into those that say they are Kurds and those that say they are not. The consensus of opinion is that this division is an artificial one created in Armenia for political reasons.

            As for the economic situation of Yezidis, some are poor, and some are not. In some Yezidi villages the migration of young people is astounding, but that is the same with many Armenian villages also. Interestingly, many of Armenia's Yezidis are working in Tbilisi where there is less discrimination against them in terms of employment.

            However, it's worth pointing out that this is not necessarily on ethnic grounds. Simply, Armenia's Yezidis are mainly rural and thus looked upon as some Armenians i.e. uneducated villagers, while in Tbilisi the population is urbanized and educated. On the other hand, Yezidi/Kurdish culture is very well preserved in Armenia.

            More interestingly, the number of Yezidis on the proportional list of the political parties, including the main pro-government ones, is surprising. However, it is reported to have opened up new divisions withing the community.

            Armenia’s Yezidis Split Over Elections
            http://www.armenialiberty.org/armeniareport/report/en/2007/03/98A8FF7E-D1EE-4809-A87B-A1051D410CC0.ASP
            The approaching elections seem to be deepening divisions within Armenia’s sizable Yezidi community whose often competing leaders have pledged allegiance to three different parties running for parliament.


            Other issues are the ratification under the European Charter for Minority and Regional Languages of "Kurdish" and "Ezideren" as two separate languages in Armenia when they are both the same Kurmanji dialect of Kurdish. This has led to problems with regards to the publication of school textbooks, for example.

              The Kurd-Yezidi identity problem aside, I've read in some articles that they're staunch supporters of the PKK.

                Re: Kurdish minortiy in Armenia

                I really cannot understand the Armenians who have sympathy for Kurds. If an Armenian should hate someone who killed and raped his/her ancestors, Kurds will suit this position better than Turks. Because Kurds did not only commit crimes against Armenians, but they had also stolen everything left from them.

                If an Armenian thinks that the Armenian nation needs a neighboring ally, then the Turks, who are more numerous and stronger, suit this position better than the Kurds. (that idea is of course foolish).
                Do you know that the Kurds make fun of the genocide? There are many traditional Kurdush anecdotes that make fun of the attacks against the Armenian caravans during the Medz Yeghern! (For example: the one about an Armenian woman who asked the Kurdish bandit to throw her husband down from the cliff...)
                Don't forget that the Kurds, who have not been faithful to their coreligionerists like Turks and Arabs, will not miss the next opportunity to persecute Armenians once more!!!

                  My friend the Kurds are not Armenias ally because they don't have any political or military power. when the US retreats his troops put of Iraq Turkey will invade and destroy evrey dream of a free Kurdisstan and that's the point were there is going to be a civil war in Turkey and our armies need to invade and take back our lands .

                    I had an instructor in the Army who heard from a Kurd that they were decendents of Noah...I corrected him.
                    Bottom line, they are theives even in the spiritual sense....Armenia must deal with Kurds as you would deal with Turks...with a big stick!

                      Hmm lets summarize;

                      1. US will retreat its troops from Iraq.
                      2. Then Turkey will invade Iraq.
                      3. Then a civil war will start in Turkey.
                      4. Then (this is the funniest part) Armenian army will invade Turkey.
                      5. Then Armenia will take "their" lands.

                      Internet is a useful tool and your only option to realise your dreams.
                      Continue to chat about destroying Turkey you loser.
