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.

        No thanks, if its full of people like you neo-judeo-capitalist, a nation of clerks who take on the side (strangely, just like some Turks), besides its too small for all of us; and, the people don't speak the general Armenian dialect.

          See there you go making up excuses for why not when you should be thinking of ways of how to. This rift between the diaspora and Armenia is exactly whats killing us and the political parties of neither one are helping instead they add fuel to the fire to divide our nation further. How come i can live among the diasporans, learn the dialect, make friends but you cannot see yourself doing the same in the only hayrenik we have?

            Turkish politicians like to talk a lot of sh*t. Even if we reaffirm Lausanne, so what? Nowhere in the Treaty of Lausanne does it define the Turkish-Armenian border. Its a worthless treaty in regards to western Armenia. All it does is recognize Turkey as a sovereign nation.

            Signing Kars might be a different story.
            No, the Treaty of Lausanne actually 'fixed' pretty much the borders of 'Republic of Turkey' on post-Ottoman space. The hearings that took place on December 12, 13 and 14 of 1922 (and the one on July 7, 1923) specifically dealt with the Armenian Question. Ismet Pasha and Riza Nuri objected to handing over occupied parts of Western Armenia to its rightful owner - the Armenian Republic. Just the fact that the Turks were able to "drop" the Armenian Question (like the FACT of the genocide is being questioned now through the so-called 'inquiry commission') along with fixing their borders on territories that were awarded to Armenia and Greece was a major diplomatic victory for Turkey.

              Haykakan, perhaps the people of Armenia aren't as receptive as those in the diaspora. For instance, some of my friends who went there consider that they've been treated almost as օտար.

              As much as you fantasize at the idea, there is no rift between diaspora and Armenia in regards to the protocols, the rift is actually between the diaspora and the current government.

                As far as I know, the Treaty of Lausanne does not mention the word "Armenia" or "Soviet Armenia", and there is no section of the treaty which defines Turkey's eastern border, while it defines Turkey's border with all its other neighbors. Look at the treaty for yourself, it contains no information on the Turkish-Armenian border, and it does not say anything about terminating the Wilson Arbitration or the Treaty of Sevres.

                    I wish you were right but it is not so and the experience of your friends proves just that. The diasporans have lived apart from their bretheren in Armenia for so long that the two have grown apart. This is what i have been saying is what needs to be adressed before anything else. I suggested a solution to, to increase interaction by visiting our homeland often, making personal connections.... i have been over all this before sigh.

See your thinking Serj and the hayastantsis are selling out our ancestral rights but in reality Armenia is being forced into a agreement it cannot refuse and one that is not all bad for it either. The realy bad part is that this is going to cause a rift between the diaspora and Armenia all because the diasporans want to live in their virtual world of 100 yearold dead documents instead of participating in the only nation which is our only hope for a national future. You refuse to give up what was lost long ago at the expence of what could be and that is just god dam stupid!
                      Diasporans have participated with everything they have, including billions and billions of investments and cadres. The major reason behind not full-scale participation is the environment in Armenia which is not friendly to ANY outside participation, including that of our own kit and kin. I (sadly) agree when US and others for their own interests point out the high corruption levels that are prevalent throughout Armenia. Not to mention concepts like individual rights and freedoms, are all but curtailed. Any Armenian, one living in Armenia and repatriating Diasporan should feel that Armenia at least gives them a chance to survive on their own, they will not complain and they will strive towards this end, but even this meager chance of free enterprise and other freedoms is highly curtailed and not afforded to many.
