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.

    Kamu-Sen has collected 50,000 signatures from the citizens of Bursa to protest the upcoming visit of Armenian President

    03.10.2009 12:48 GMT+04:00

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Confederation of Unions of Public Employees of Turkey (Kamu-Sen) has collected 50,000 signatures from the citizens of Bursa to protest the upcoming visit of Armenian President Serzh Sarksyan to Bursa for a soccer match between the two countries’ national teams on October 14.

    Holding a press conference, the provincial chairman of Bursa’s Kamu-Sen, Selcuk Turkoglu invited citizens of Bursa to the game.

    Stressing that sport activities create “a nice competition between countries and nations, Turkoglu said that the soccer game has been politicized.Our invitation for Armenian President Sarksyan is turned into a blackmailing. He said that he would come only if the borders are open. We should not forget that Nagorno-Karabakh was invaded by Armenian army with Russian support,” Turkoglu said. “Armenians held an invasion that is against international laws and they committed a genocide there. Turkey’s border to Armenia is closed because of Nagorno-Karabakh issue till the resolution of the problem within the frames of international norms.”

    “As Confederation of Unions of Public Employees of Turkey, we are not against the football game to be held in any city. But we want our government and state to react to the blackmailing of Armenian President Sarkisian about his visit,”

    Turkoglu said that they will “show a strong reaction” against the Turkish government if Sarkisian comes to Bursa. “We will not bow to cheap Armenian blackmailing with the signatures that we are collecting here”, asbarez.com reported.

      It is kind of funny that both parties are feeling blackmailed and they are both right. Armenia has more to gain out of this deal then the turcks but both will benefit.

        They say its because the recent comment by Sarkisian that 'he would not come to Turkey'. Since Gul visited Armenia; they think Sarkisian should visit back as a goodwill. Ive no idea if he really said that or not. Thats what the many newspapers say.

          Economic predictions: Dashnaks say Armenia will suffer


          An Armenian opposition MP believes that the opening of the Armenian-Turkish border will have a negative impact on the economy of Armenia.

          Artsvik Minasyan, from the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) Dashnaktsutyun, submitted the analysis of his party this week concerning the possible economic damages that Armenia may suffer in case if the border is open.

          According to that analysis, ARF suggests settling at least 53 basic problems, and only then to think about opening the border.

          “The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per a person in Turkey three times surpasses the same index in Armenia. This means that the Turkish public is three times richer than the Armenian public, and, of course, therefore speaking about balanced relations even in the sense of demand and supply, is dangerous,” Minasyan says.

          He adds that besides, Armenia does not have such a system of protecting the competitiveness of domestic producers as Turkey does. According to that analysis, Turkey has a privilege over Armenia in export and protection systems of production, state support for agricultural and industrial sectors, etc. Minasyan also has a concern that because of the imperfection of food security control in Armenia, Turkish poor quality products will enter the Armenian market.

          “We start the process of opening the borders without settling the problems, or at least being on the threshold of doing so,” Minasyan says.

            This guy contradicts himself. If the turckish public is three times richer then our own then we would have a easier time competing in their market then they in ours (laws of economics).

                According to Minasyan's reasoning, instead of opening the Turkish border, Armenia should aslo close the borders with Iran and Russia.

                Btw, Turkish nationalists are also against opening the Armenian border. They claim that Turkey has nothing to gain. Mirror images, huh?

                  After the free trade agreement that Canada signed with the US, the only thing that happened was American companies came in and bought everything up and Canadians became more Americanized. The economy grew only because of the American debt system... people started "affording" things they couldn't afford before like big houses and fancy cars. However, that feeling of wealth is only temporary because they haven't worked for the things they "own".

                    So you suggest that Armenia should close the border with Iran and Russia as well. Point taken.

                      No, the point is there needs to be fair laws that benefits the citizens of both countries and not the wealthy capitalists when it comes to trade. Opening of the borders is an issue of security on both sides.
