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.

Otherwise Armenians will be nothing but cheap labour.

    And there should be NO COMPROMISE on the Genocide issue. Something so overwhelmingly witnessed, documented and concealed for nearly a century shouldn't be "left up to historians".
    I totally agree NO COMPROMISE on the Genocide issue,it just cannot be.

    Did i said that they wont be tariffs?So u think that world market is about free export of ur products or u think that china or germany or other dont buy harbors for there shipments,and then u jump in the logic of midle class if such thing exist in Armenia will turn in cheap labour,for ho for turks?i dont get it.

    Well u try to imply the canadian economic condition upon armenia and so explain the situation?

      If anything, hopefully it should improve and facilitate the security, trade and transport concerns of Armenia. Nowhere can I see the demand to withdraw from Karabagh or acquiescing on genocide recogntion. Perhaps a bit optimistic but the part of implementing a dialogue on the historical dimension might even allow Turkish politicians an avenue for formal genocide recognition without committing electoral suicide.
      That i think also,its a game where we can have total victory,and come something bigger is that we hoped so long? At least some part of this Turkish government will have to accept the truth.

        Of course they buy harbors for their shipments but they are shipping either large quantities or big ticket items. Armenia with only 3 million population could hardly fill a ship full of products in a year.

        Aren't the Chinese cheap labor? Vietnam? Bangladesh? This is where most of the clothing and other everyday products I use come from. Most of the people who are put to work in those countries are impoverished. How is it that I buy a $50 shirt or a $100 pair of running shoes yet the people who work in those plants are dirt poor? The hard work that goes into the cotton farming, sewing, stitching, etc. is done by the poorest people in the world because they are exploited by not only the more powerful nations but also their own governments.

          So what it has to do with reopening of the borders?U suggest that it will bring Nike factories into Armenia?

            - the sub-commission on the historical dimension to implement a dialogue with the aim to restore mutual confidence between the two nations, including an impartial scientific examination of the historical records and archives to define existing problems and formulate recommendations, in which Armenian, Turkish as well as Swiss and other international experts shall take part.

            Why its so bad French Russia Greece and other historian will come in aid for Armenia also there is no mention about 1915.

                I think this will benefit Armenia very much economically. It will open routes to Turkish and European market; we won't have to rely on Georgia as much, especially because it is in unstable condition. Of course, Turkey is doing this in order to please the west especially European UNion. But also, open border will help the Kurdish region economically, so in a way they kill two bird with one stone. Given that we did not make any concessions on Karabkah, then this is very good news for us.

                • Turkey: Border With Armenia Will Open to Trade

                  By SEBNEM ARSU
                  Published: September 1, 2009

                  The Turkey-Armenia border, closed for more than 15 years, will be opened to trade once diplomatic relations are established, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said Tuesday. Two protocols signed by the longtime rivals on Monday and released Tuesday said the border would be opened within two months of the ratification by each country’s Parliament of an agreement on diplomatic relations. Such an agreement is expected to be completed within six weeks. The protocols also call for the formation of an international history commission to study the Armenian genocide, the central dispute between the countries.

                      I find this totally redundant. I mean to Redo AGAIN "the formation of an international history commission to study the Armenia Genocide". This has been done already and approved as such: MEANING AS GENOCIDE. How many times is it going to be approved???
