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.

    Now, hows about them apricots ?
    What personal gains could i possibly have? i joined this "club" long before this all started back when no one knew this was gona happen. Ltp was run out of town by kocharian, what makes you think they would work togather in cognito? Your implication that the foreign powers went through the trouble of returning ltp to Armenia to be a counter weight to dashnaktsutsiun which is a irrelavent party in hayastan anyways is utterly laughable. The present government does not need help against the dashnaks, the dashnaks are weak in armenian politics so there is no need to gang up on them or to contrive a concpirasy theory.Your paranoya has reached delusional heights. I dought even you believe the crap you write.

      See how this xxx commends Turkey for the protocols and praises it as a leader among Muslim countries. He also caracterises our opposition to the protocols as "bizarre" saying that if Iran wanted to discuss the holocaust with impartial historians the xxxs would be more than happy. I doubt that it is the case. xxxs would then denigrate Iran by saying that they dare questioning the veracity of the Holocaust. Besides, the historians in Turkey that we are going to sit with and the likes of Justin McCarthy are nothing close to being impartial.
      Now your making sence, good analisys there.

        Stephen Kinzer is an excellent author and columnist (I liked his book Crescent and Star: Turkey Between Two Worlds) Even though he's a Turkolover he's not a denier.The comparison between Israel and Armenia ? is hypothetical and I don't put much value in hypothetical scenarios.That is one of his weakest columns I 've seen..

          Dear Gavur at this late hour believe it or not the only viable option is for ALL serious opposing forces to unite and ask for resignation of the president/government. Putting aside the petty differences (and they are petty compared to what will happen if unity is not achieved) and all the past mistakes that "open old wounds."

          The new coalition government would be formed, and the very first thing would be the annulment of the Turkish protocols and all the conditions that have been forced upon Armenia and the Armenian people.

          The ratification process would go through since the current three parties that form the coalition government hold the majority of seats in the National Assembly and are all but "yes men" who will certainly press the green button out of concern for not getting paid by their paymaster placing the future of Armenia and the Armenian people in a very short order.

          All of the provocateurs that are prevalent in opposition camps (be it the Armenian National Congress or the National Front) placed by the oligarchs and their cronies will be put in check, because they will be the first to sabotage this from ever happening, thus assuring that the fragmented opposition never unites into one ever-powerful union.

          Again at this very late hour we are literally losing not only the Armenian Cause but what is left of our Homeland. Only and only when the opposition unites into one camp we can assure victory. Otherwise, all of us as Armenians, will end up defeated, one by one, and we will indeed lose what is left of our Homeland to the Turks and the ever conniving "great powers" that are anything but pro-Armenian.

            First, let us not forget that for too long the Tashnags were a part of the ruling coalition, despite its claims to be 'opposition' members and psuedo-criticisms of the 'government'.

            Second, LTP has indeed proven himself to be a false opposition member, but I don't see the ARF taking a hard stance in Yerevan as they are in Los Angeles and Beirut.

            Third, let's go back a few pages for some clear perspective...back when some of you acknowledged who really called the shots in Yerevan:

              Valid points, however, in both camps there are healthy forces and most of the constituencies in both camps are not blinded by the realities at hand and would demand that their leaders actually take more firmer steps in bridging their differences and unite. Literally, we do not have an alternative in stopping the ratification of the Turkish protocols - which if ratified, would turn into a legally binding international document, forestalling the Armenian Cause for years if not decades. The stakes are too high now, to look at past mistakes and grudges, all of the energy must be in trying to form this bridge of national unity.

              Third, let's go back a few pages for some clear perspective...back when some of you acknowledged who really called the shots in Yerevan:

              We know the Russian factor and the current so-called "reset" between Russia and the United States which led to the protocols. However, I doubt the "thaw" will last much longer as we already see Russian voices in the political establishment speaking out against letting a NATO country into its own sphere of influence.

              Most importantly, we should not be fatalistic and view ourselves as only incapable observers or just simple pawns of the "great powers." The Armenian people worldwide are a power in their own right, and our power - and especially the power of our potential Unity coupled with All-Armenian determination - should not be underestimated.

                Armenian-Turkish reconciliation process to be intensified in early 2010

                15.10.2009 15:59 GMT+04:00

                /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian-Turkish dialogue has been constructive so far, according to Alexander Markarov, director of Yerevan branch of the Institute of CIS Studies.

                “Given the position of the Armenian ruling coalition, I do not think that there will be problems with ratification of Protocols in the RA parliament. However, I can’t say the same about the Turkish parliament. The process is likely to be intensified in early 2010,” he said.

                Markarov also emphasized that if Turkey wishes to be a democracy and not to fail talks with the EU, it should ratify the document.
