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.

I (sadly) agree when US and others for their own interests point out the high corruption levels that are prevalent throughout Armenia. Not to mention concepts like individual rights and freedoms, are all but curtailed. Any Armenian, one living in Armenia and repatriating Diasporan should feel that Armenia at least gives them a chance to survive on their own, they will not complain and they will strive towards this end, but even this meager chance of free enterprise and other freedoms is highly curtailed and not afforded to many.

    I'm sorry but that is bullxxxx. Armenia is more 'free' (whatever that term means at the time) than any of its neighbors. Only reason u.s. likes to mention those things is because it think it is the world's moral voice and of course because Armenia is not it's bi*ch like georgia nor does it have oil like azerbaijan.

    There are a number of Diaspora Armenians who invest/donate millions in Armenia and do not have major issues, three key ones being Kirk, Cafesjian and Eurnekian. The Armenian Diaspora of Russia and Iran are very well represented in the business community of Armenia, no reason why Armenians from the u.s./canada can't do the same.
    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.

      Dissidence in Armenian society –Turkey’s biggest dream


      /PanARMENIAN.Net/ There are deep processes taking place in both Armenia and Diaspora. Each Armenian is very sensitive about the issue lying behind discussions, RA Deputy FM Shavarsh Kocharyan told Armenian journalists. “There are two ways in which people think. First, world faces rapid changes, with serious developments taking place in our region. In such circumstances, everybody seeks to achieve the maximum. And if, in such situation, we do not resolve national issues, others will do that instead of us,” Deputy FM said. The second way of thinking, according to Kocharyan, is that Ankara has not changed its position on Armenian Issue, continuing to impede Armenian Genocide recognition and acquiring tools in Karabakh issue. “Both types of thinking are substantiated, but it would be wrong to be guided by one of them. Current policy considers both approaches,” Kocharyan noted.Internal discussions are very important, but they should not cross all limits, Deputy FM believes. “Dissidence in our society is Turkey’s biggest dream, and we should realize that,” he said.

      Those who protest against RA-Turkish Protocols demand that Turkey recognize Armenian Genocide and open border before starting dialogue with Armenia. “Such approach implies pursuance of isolation policy, with all the threats deriving thereof. In view of regional shifts, such policy will push us out of game, and everything will be done at our expense. In such situation, we are resolving very concrete issues,” Shavarsh Kocharyan said.

        Catharsis: Thanks for posting.
        Hey Eddo thats the kind of math that got the diaspora to its ultrapowerful position today. You sit there telling a math teacher that 1+2 does not add up to three, well it always has it still does and it always will! That formula never changes and never will. I never said you cant get what you dont have, i said you cant lose what you dont have, you drunk or something?

            As far as the Diaspora, it should invest more in Armenia regardless and the government of RA should emphasize to the Russians that a strong Armenia will not leave the partnership it has with them. I think this may be one of the reasons why the Diaspora is not encouraged by the RA government has much as it should be because of Russian pressure. It is up to the RA government in conjunction with the 2+ million Armenians in Russia to gain more influence within the Kremlin.
            You are arguing with me Armanen and you aren't reading what is said above? Are you kidding me? Aliyev wants Sunik. The protocols are deadly for our sovereignty and you and Haykakan are arguing with me and some others? I cannot beleive this. Step outside of the box and think through what's happening. The protocols are being signed because Mr. Serje is lacking in legitimacy to rule the country in a manner that is good and prosperous for his countrymen. He is a selfish bastard and only thinking about himself. By signing these deadly protocols he is signing off the Genocide recognition, our remuneration possibilities to our right of at least some parts of Western Armenia, not to let Armenia to have a say in Artsakh matters or help Artsakh to be recognised by OSCE Minsk group and now Gul and Aliyev want to steal more lands from us; our Syunik, our only small land that is attached to our only good neighbours, Iran.

            Now go and argue with the Russians, Gul and Aliyev. Good luck.

Why the should we accept such conditions today?! We should not concede our rights and put a question mark on the Armenian genocide, it is Turkey that has to be punished for creating such hardships.
                Davo jan, I wish it was only the mere fact of the Genocide recognition and reparations of our rights of Western Armenian lands. It is much more than that. Read the Protocols again. In the turkish preconditions our dearest smartest very caring very legitimate president Serje will be signing tomorrow that Armenia will have no say in the Artsakh matter or to help Artsakh in the future. And just recently, Gul and Aliyev had a summit in our Nakhichevan that Stalin gave it away to the tatar "azeris" they recently had a summit to take steal away our Syunik, the only little land of ours that is attached to our one and only good neighbours, the Iranians. The turks and the "azeris" are taking over Armenia. Period. And a couple of guys are arguing with us that it will be good for Armenia to open the borders with those hawks "gentani" bashe BO zook animals. Namely turkey and "azerbaijan".

                  No you are the drunk one!!! You are drinking vodka with borsch. Go and read the protocols again and see how Armenia will soon sign off Syunik, will sign off having any involvement with Artsakh matter, and all this for these bloody bull xxxx protocols that are going to be signed by Armenia's very caring, very patriotic, very legitimate president Serje.

                    He is much like some others who stands to make money in this Turkish Deal by supporting these protocols and who don’t give a rat’s ass about its ramifications and the future consequences.

                      Actually they were permitted to do so by the said powers because of geopolitical interests of their own - just like now, with these protocols that have been charted by the Turkish side and their allies (US, Britain and Switzerland amongst others). Both the British and the French at the sealing of the Treaty of Lausanne still occupied large segments of Turkey. The Turkish army - although not the ragtag of 1920 - was no match for neither side.
