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

    Adam Schiff, U.S. Democratic Party Congressman and the member of Congressional Caucasus on Armenian Issues, welcomes Armenian-Turkish Protocols, expressing however concern about certain provisions.

    He is disappointed that “protocols call for the creation of an historical commission to review the events of 1915-23.”

    “This is a thoroughly discredited idea; there is no dispute among scholars that the Armenian people were the subject of Genocide during the waning days of the Ottoman Empire and an historical commission is another effort to obfuscate the truth,” the statement of Schiff reads.

    “Turkey cannot be allowed to re-write this tragic part of its history as a price for normal relations with Armenia,” the Congressman stated, adding that: “True reconciliation between the Armenian and Turkish peoples will occur when Turkey acknowledges the Genocide that was committed by the Ottoman Empire against Armenians from 1915 – 1923.”

        “If Turkey does not turn back halfway, the two-month period fixed by the protocols initial by official Yerevan and Ankara is enough for the Armenian-Turkish border to be reopened and bilateral relations established, Arsen Ghazaryan, the Armenian Co-Chairman of the Armenian-Turkish Economic Cooperation Commission, told NEWS.am.

        ”But if Turkey back off, it will first of all disgrace itself in the eyes of the international community," the businessman said. He stressed that the reopening of the border is a "derivative’ task, the main aim being the establishment of bilateral relations. The initialed protocols fix the mechanisms of achieving this aim.

        According to Ghazaryan, the Armenian-Turkish border can be reopened even before any legal documents are drafted. The relevant subcommittees of the Intergovernmental Commission will deal with the issue as the documents are drafted. “The establishment of diplomatic relations means the removal of Turkey’s unilateral embargo on Armenia, which will lead to the unblocking of the border,” Ghazaryan said. He stressed the initialing of such documents by Yerevan and Ankara is an unprecedented fact. “It is for the first time that Turkey has agreed to put its signature to any documents, without setting any preconditions in the context of either the Armenian Genocide or the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process. Everything followed a typical scenario,” Ghazaryan said.

        If the two countries establish good neighborly relations, economic integration will reach a very high level, the businessman said. “If we are speaking of only Turkish imports to Armenia, the reopening of the border will promote Armenian exports to that country,” Ghazaryan said.

        As regards Armenian produces’ fears that cheap Turkish products will flood the Armenian market as soon as the border is reopened, with home-made products to be ousted, Ghazaryan said: “Since early 1990s Turkish products have been flooding the Armenian market, and Armenia has never put any legal, customs or other obstacles to Turkish imports to Armenia. It was early in 1990s that Turkish products flooded the Armenian market. Later, as the domestic industry developed and competitive Armenian products entered the market, Turkish imports to Armenia decreased. No fundamental change in the situation should be expected,” he said. According to Ghazaryan, the Armenian industry can well stand competition, and Armenian producers can enter a new, Turkish, market. “Both Armenia and Turkey, as well as the entire region, will equally benefit from the reopening of the border. Armenia will again be a transit country, which will be of benefit to all – from Central Asia to Europe, from Iraq to Georgia,” Ghazaryan said.

                  Mukuch and others, please knock off the name calling. Devoting an entire post to call a person a moron is counter-productive. It's a controversial topic so keep your cool. State why you agree or disagree and propose an alternative.

                    He isn't pissed off, he is "disappointed". I hate how they don't tie the history in the region as a result of WWI but rather insist on using wording like "waning days of the Ottoman Empire".
