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: Armenia in the EU

    There are things u missed...
    First of all, Armenia's ways to the Europe closed by Turkey and Armenia must solve this problem if u wanna be a part of EU. And as we all know,it's way crossing with the path of peace and understanding.
    Second, Armenia has never reached to the life-quality level that EU would admit,like 40 years-waiting-Turkey,Armenia would wait and raise the standarts of life..

    Because their christian goverment doesn't consider muslim turkey as a acceptable part of the EU which they believe has christan values.
    Yup, and even though it's not an ethical reason, I'm glad, because then Turkey wouldn't get accepted!

    True, Germany opposes it because they already have 2 million ethnic Turks in their country, and if Turkey joins this number will increase substantially. I'd say Cyprus's opposition is the strongest, because Turkey occupies half their country. I don't see how Turkey can join a union when their military is occupying part of that union.

    Armenia would greatly benefit from joining the EU. The economy would boom, and they would have gauranteed military protection. The downside of this is that many Armenians might leave Armenia for other European countries if the economic boom lags, and there can be many unforseen consequences to becoming a part of such a vast union, although I personally believe the good outweighs the bad. The one obstacle to Armenia joining the EU is its reforms towards democratization, and the Russian influence over the country (they have a few military bases there).
    I don't think armenians will leave. People haven't left the new EU member countries.

    Also, Turkey joining the EU isn't all that bad (though I highly doubt they will ever join). If they join the EU they will be liable under European law to pay reparations for their crimes and its subsequent cover-up of nearly a century and counting.

    And Iranianazeri, the Germans aren't the only ones opposed to Turkey joining the EU. France, Greece and Cyprus oppose them more than Germany does.

    Well, I've heard that the EU doesn't want to add a country like Turkey to Europe... Anyway, back on topic, Armenia's goal is to have the Genocide recognized, but that doesn't necessarily mean that we have to join the EU or anything... and the things Turks always say about "Armenians thinking that their special because their Western civilization" or whatever is wrong, because we're not even saying anything about Europe!

    There is opposition against the turks, from for example the christian german government. It's not possible for turkey to join at least for the next 15-25, or maybe even after that. For them to join, they must for example accept the ottoman govermant did cleanse anatolia from armenians.

    I think it would be very good for armenia if it joined the EU. But I have yet not heard anything about it.
