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: Condoleezza Rice Stopping Genocide Bill From Passing

    ^But, I'm not talking about Turkey recognizing it and refusing to do anything about it. I'm talking about what will most probably occurr a looong time from now, which will be that Turky will not only recognize it, but try to pay back for it and give Armenia back its land.

      I doubt they would ever give land back, even if they do recognise it. Don't get your hopes up, it's unlikely that the government's going to kick it's own people off 'Turkish' land.

          Well this isn't a realistic option, unless you want Turkey to then accuse Armenia of genocide, in which they will (by our own logic) gain their lands back.

          Anyways, its pointless to discuss it since countries don't give away land. This isn't the American West circa 1700. Plus, if you move Turks and Kurds out, you still have to find a way to make Armenians move in. The latter is probably harder than the former, considering how many people fled Armenia after its independence (when the popular notion was that Armenians would start moving back).


          BTW, here is a video of Condoleeza and Congressman Schiff having a discussion about the genocide: http://www.hairenik.com/HairenikTV/HA_TV_Clip53.htm

            Sorry, I let my anger take over. What I meant was that since the land would be in control of Armenia, the Turks would have to move out of the Armenian homes (sort of like the Ottoman Empire and the Balkans, except no violence) or I guess the Armenian government could charge extremely high taxes (revenge is sweet) or something like that. I understand that it might be hard to make many Armenians to move in, but eventually, after time and effort, it would happen.

            I already saw the video, and I think Condoleeza Rice is a racist, power-hungry *****.

              I'd be in favor of high taxes, like how the Ottomans charged the Armenians for being non-Muslims in a Muslim empire. It is a peaceful way of making people emigrate, and the ones that stay will be beneficial to the state. The danger of expecting them all to emigrate is, if they don't, extremists will start forcing them out, and it will spiral out of control, like the situation in the Balkans, or the genocide. These days, events like that will make headlines across the globe and smear our image. This is why I say we have to let Azeri refugees back into Karabakh (and the occupied territories outside Karabakh). Even if 100% of them move back, which will hardly be the case, they will still be less than 1/4 of the population of Karabakh, but we will look like some kind of humanitarian state.

                Wait, I understand everything up to "This is why I say we have to let Azeri refugees back into Karabakh..." Can you explain the reasons and descriptions of this please?

                  They lived in Karabakh, most of them had no quarrel with Armenians, and they were less than 1/4 minority even in Karabakh. If we don't allow them to return, Armenians, however justified our cause in Karabakh is, will look bad for ethnically cleansing the region, and will create nothing but hatred among the average Azeri. They're not big fans of their government, but when they have an outside enemy, they will unite very easily. The Azeri authorities are grooming the next generation of fighters as we speak, by purposely leaving their 700,000+ refugees homeless, in order to motivate them to fight the war for the next generation. If we simply list the return of refugees as a precondition of solving the conflict, 100% of the refugees will not move back, but we will look like good guys. And even if 100% of them return, they are merely a 20% minority.

                    Oh, now I understand what you mean, but that seems impossible with the majority of Armenians being racist toward Turks (including Azeris).

                      Ya, they are pretty hostile towards Turks in Karabakh, at least thats the impresion I got when I visited. There is still an Azeri mosque in Shusha though, and the local Armenians were talking about repairing it. So they are not entirely against them.
