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: Kurdish minortiy in Armenia

    There are kurds that live in Armenia and (I think) they are treated very well. I got an email from BeautySavesWorld (many of you might know her, as she has a pretty large and active politically aimed channel on YouTube)

    Her email had a video that talks about the Kurds in Armenia. Mainly about a school that is located in a region where lots of Kurds live. They learn a Kurdish language in school and speak it freely. There was more stuff, but I don't remember it now =)

      Re: Kurdish minortiy in Armenia

      There are almost no muslim Kurd left in Armenia. The Armenian government deported them in 1937 and have since then trying to create the Yezidi religion to a etnicity of its own.

      The Yezidi Kurds speaks fluently Kurmanci (north Kurdish) and consider themselfs as Kurds, for an example Singal in south Kurdistan (iraq) has a majority of Yezidi Kurds.

      The Yezidi Kurds lived in north Kurdistan (turkey) together with the Armenians, Assyrians and Muslim Kurds until the 1915 Genocide.
      The Yezidi Kurds was also killed along with the christians, that is the main reason why they migrated to Armenia. You can find them in the Aragatsotn province and in the Ararat province.

      The Kurds established the kurdish newspaper Riya Teze and the Kurdish radiostation Denge Erivan (Kurdish: The sound of Yerevan).
      Within the first years in Armenia, the Yezidi/Muslim Kurds published thousands of books and smuggled them into all parts of Kurdistan. That was why the Kurds from all four parts of Kurdistan was so aware of Armenia and the freedom they had there!

      The problem is that that the Armenian government discriminates the Yezidi Kurds of Armenia, even today! They fabricate fake facts about them so that they can seperate the Yezidi (Religion) from the Kurds (Etnicity).

      I am very interested in the Kurdish situation in Armenia so I have studied several government reports trough the years and they all report the same thing. That the Yezidi´s speaks a "language close to Kurdish" and that they are not the same people as the muslim Kurds.

      I speed googled and found a report from 2006 (follow up report) published by the Council of Europe (http://www.coe.int/t/e/human_rights/...%20cri07-1.pdf)
      According to this report, there have been several complains from the Yezidi Kurdish communities but the problems have never been solved, not even by the Human Rigth Defenders of Armenia.

      It is clear after reading several reports that all the non-Christian communities in Armenia are discriminated. Especially the xxxish and the Kurdish communities.

      Armenia must change its policy against the minorities.

            There are no Armenian Christians left in Turkish Kurdistan, either.

            The Yezidis were persecuted (and even massacred) when they lived under Kurdish Muslims. I agree that Armenia has to change its policy against minorities, but so do Kurdish Muslims.

                  Re: Kurdish minortiy in Armenia

                  gurgin is another bot like osolonor trying to spread his pseudo facts. Yezdi are not kurds and never have been, do they have similarities to kurds? Sure, but turks and kurds have similarities too, even more culturally then ethnic wise, but we wouldn't say turks and kurds are the same, now would we?

                  Yezdi are just fine in Armenia, the kurds can get the f*** out!
                  For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
                  to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.

                    Yezdis are Kurds, Armanen. . .They speak Kurdish also..

                    Yezdis(Kurds) and moderate Kurds have only different religion from each other.
