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.

    B. Anatolian is a bulls*it political term which turks like to use, maybe out of self hate or more likely because they persume they will thus have more of a "claim" to lands usurped from their rightful owners.

    C. A very small minority of Armenians were actively supporting the Russians, if more had, they would not have marched like sheep to the deserts of Syria and slaughtered in cold blood.

    D. Armenia not only has moral and historical claim over so called eastern turkey, but also legal i.e. Treaty of Sevres.

    E. You may be happy to see turkey be a multi culturist state, but your government barely allows kurds to call themselves kurds, remember they used to be "mountain turks", and continues to instill the idea that all people within the borders of turkey are turks, unless they are members of the Armenian Apostolic, Greek orthodox or xxxish faiths.

    F. Armenia will get back its lands, one way or another, most likely through war. So you may have to shed your blood.

    G. There is no excuse for non turkish born Armenians, like those from Armenia, to go to turkey and work there, none! So I do not recognize them as Armenian. And 50,000 is a bit overblown fyi.

    H. It would be a national security threat for Armenia to open its borders with turkey without first conducting a complete analysis of economic/social/political effects of open borders upon Armenia.
    I believe that my thoughts reached to real Armenians who are looking to issue from broad perspective. I have noting to say to those who feed their soul with hate. They are hopeless cases. I’m very confident. If you can be so rootless to call your own mothers and sisters as “non-Armenians” as they just came to Turkey to work, there is no need to scare about future of Turkey.

        Your user name is enough to explain you. Sorry but your turn was seven centuries ago! I do not need applause or medal, I only need an open discussion.

          They are not my mothers or sisters @sswipe. They are pseudo Armenians. Now siktir!
          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.

            I doubt you have no idea about Armenia. These ladies are coming to Turkey for house keeping. They are not selling their bodies. Some of them are 60 years old and still they have to work as they have to survive. If we will argue who is Armenian or not, believe me you can not even their nail!

                Armanen,

                I think it's time for ignore mode. After all, this "Anatolia" () is just another 'dime-a-dozen' Turk who comes here asking for a 'discussion' just so he can spout the tired Turkish talking points (lies) concerning Armenian-Turkish relations.

                When he leaves, another transparent Turk will come along to replace them. These people actually think their clever.

                  Ok guys, why don't you try to calm down?

                  @Anatolia,
                  Ben de Türk'üm. It's relieving to see moderate Turks like you in that forum. As you have Caucasian and Kurdish roots, I'm of Arabic origin. Probably, like the rest of Turkish people, we also have some Armenian heritage (apart from Turkish, Greek, etc.).
                  However, I couldn't understand how you have figured out the number of Armenian women working in Turkey. I have never heard about housekeepers coming from Armenia! and one can easily infer from what you wrote that you are mentioning illegal prostitutes which is indecent to mention in such a forum.

                  @Armanen
                  As far as I know, the word Anatolia/Anadolu has been used for centuries. I don't understand what your problem is with it. You mention some activites of our government, but you don't know that many Turks oppose government's policies and we strive for the advance of the democracy in Turkey.

                  I don't understand how reconciliation between Turkey and Armenia will be possible without giving up these hostile attitudes. If reconciliation is indeed what we are seeking..

                    what does reconciliation mean to you and why do you want it with Armenians?

                      This is an odd question.
                      Firstly, I want reconciliation with Armenians because we share a common history with you. For centuries we were neighbours and had good relations (accepting existence of exceptions). What Ittihadists did was undefendable and in one way or another, Turkey should show her sorrow for what happened to Armenians living in Anatolia which is a moral duty for us. I want to see Turks and Armenians to stop being sworn enemies.
                      Secondly, we all know that both Turkey and Armenia will benefit from open borders and good relations. As most of the countries have their greatest trade share with neighbour countries, it is not wise to have closed borders between Armenia and Turkey.

                      What does reconciliation mean to me then? I think, first and foremost it means ending hatred and trying to sympathize with each other.
