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: Armenian-Turkish Relations

    We are niether closer nor further away from getting western Armenia now then we were a week ago. If anyone thinks we were anywhere near close they would be more dilusional then anything else. I was having khorovats and drinking with a bunch of armenian guys on saturday night in the cool october air and i found out three of the guys were kharabagh vets. I asked their opinion on the border openings and they were all very optimistic stating that it could bring great benefits if turckey opened the borders and kept them open. The agreement has been signed and the powers of today will demand that turckey open the border. The opening of the border will force the Azeris to be more flexible at the nagotiating table and a agreement on kharabagh is not to far away anymore.
    Hayastan or Bust.

      The agreement in itself is not supposed to make us loose Karabagh, although many see that Karabagh is jeopardized because the protocols do not make any mention of the principle of auto-determination of nations, and also make mention of international borders and not only Turkish-Armenian ones.

      Nevertheless, as you see today, Turkey is already imposing a new condition to the already humiliated Armenians. It wants us to hand in Karabagh before opening its borders. In my opinion, Azerbaijan is not really pissed at Turkey, neither is Turkey going against Azerbaijan's interests. It is simply an act that Azerbaijan is doing after the protocols in order to re-confirm Turkey's desire to help Azerbaijan in taking Karabagh from Armenians.

      This is ridiculous. Before Turkey says anything about the withdrawal of Armenians from Karabagh, it should withdraw from Cyprus because its occupation of Cyprus is even less justified.

        My point in fact was just this as you read above but it isn't sinking into you so I'll say it again. You cannot trust turkey. turkey is already pledging the "azeris" to give back Artsakh. Do I have to say it again? Londontsi just put it out yesterday two sentences from the protocols that the integrity of their country (turkey) must be accepted in the protocols by Armenia. Also Armenia must not put their nose into other country's business; meaning "azerbaijan's" integrity must be preserved and Armenia should not help Artsakh against the integrity of made up baloney stolen name from Iran "azerbaijan".

        After your Serje signed the protocols, you have to wait and see whether they will open the borders or not. You of course hope that they'll open it, I on the other hand never wished that darn protocol be signed the way it was with the turks' pre-conditions. After that protocol has been amended then they could open the borders but without the pre-conditions.

          The territorial integrity issue also applies to turkey, but does anyone honestly think turkey will pull out from northern Cyprus?
          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.

            Of course never with a defeitist attitudes of today's RA's government who have played in the hands of turkey, our worst enemy. And not ever if these protocols after being signed, turkey opens their borders. Indeed they made Armenia sell out the Genocide issue and with it ever getting Western Armenian lands back. But if there is a coup d'etat and a new government comes along who want to work with Diasporan Armenians who have diligently worked for 30+ years to get 20 countries accept the legality of the Genocide; then we may have the possibility of asking for reparations.

              Of course not, Turkey's leaders aren't as big sellouts as Sargsyan and Nalbandian.

              Poor tennis player David Nalbandian who now has to identify with the Nalbandian that signed the capitulative protocols.

                  Yes but Turkey isn't the one making concessions, it's Armenia.
