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.

    God forbid because they would lost alot more than Javakh.

    How would the Russians have reacted to that? Closing borders is an act of war.
    Considering Armenia is in CSTO I wonder why we havn't requested Russia to send some Ballistic Missiles towards Turkey yet.... After all, closing the borders was an act of warefare against the Republic of Armenia.

      Re: Armenian Georgian Relations

      The chauvinist regime in Gruzia that has ruled the country since 1990 is an enemy of all nationalities in the region, including Gruzians and Armenians. Its brutal policy against Abkhazia and Ossetia is one which all Armenians must condemn. The regime in Gruzia has allowed the Anglo-American-Zionist bloc to turn the country into a base from which to unleash aggression and subversive activities against Russia, Iran, Armenia, and others. The situation of Armenians in Gruzia has seriously deteriorated since 1990. They suffer discrimination with regard to government representation, employment, and language rights.

        Armenian side opposes formation of commission on Surb Norashen



        /PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Armenian side is against formation of a commission to be charged with a task to clear up whom Surb Norashen belongs to. This church is Armenian, said bishop Vazgen Mirzakhanyan, head of the Georgian Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church.

        “Five churches should be returned to the AAC, namely Surb Norashen, Surb Nshan, Shamkhoretsots Surb Astvatsatsin (Karmir Avetaran), Yerevanots Surb Minas and Mugni Surb Gevorg. The fact that these churches are Armenian is not questioned. Georgia’s claims that the foundation of the churches is Georgian are absurd. If there is a Georgian archeologist of genius who could define whom a church belongs to, he would undoubtedly be worth of Noble Prize,” the bishop said.

        He also refuted the Georgian Patriarchate’s statement that an agreement on formation of a commission was achieved during the November 26 meeting in Tbilisi. “More than 20 Armenian churches have been already transformed into Georgian ones in 1990ies. The Armenian side could agree to form a commission if the problem of these churches is also addressed,” bishop Mirzakhanyan said, Bagin.info reports.

        Presently, 32 reconstructed Armenian churches function in Georgia. Majority of them are situated in Samtskhe Javakheti and Kvemo Kartli.

              Georgian arrests aim to open church-political haggling with Armenia
              24.01.2009 17:08 GMT+04:00 Print version Send to mail In Russian In Armenian



              /PanARMENIAN.Net/ The process of preservation of Georgia as an empire has been carried from Abkhazia and South Ossetia to Samtskhe-Javakheti-Tsalka, an Armenian expert said.

              "Having lost control over the breakaway regions, the Georgian authorities are trying to cement positions in the Armenian-inhabited territories, targeting people who can struggle for their national values and faith," Vahe Sargsyan, expert at Mitq analytical center said in a statement obtained by PanARMENIAN.Net.

              "Grigor Minasyan and Sargis Hakobjanyan are the people who maintained Armenian culture in Samtskhe Javakheti. It's ridiculous that these people are charged of espionage and formation of illegal armed unit. Such actions of the Georgian authorities instigate public hatred not only in Samtskhe Javakheti but also in other regions."

              These arrests may aim to open church-political haggling with Armenia and appropriate Surb Nshan Armenian church in Akhaltsikhe and some other churches in the region, according to the expert.

                The Georgian President and his cabal seem to have an incredible talent and capacity to attain lowest degree of baseness! Most people become puppets with reluctance, this is the only one that relishes it with a gusto.

                  Does our government not have $25 000???? How the phuck can we let this happen!

                  Hovhannes Tumanyan’s Famous “Vernatun” Purchased by Georgian Businessman
                  [ 2009/02/10 | 14:49 ] society culture

                  Regnum reports that the famous “vernatun” of Armenian national poet Hovhannes Tumanyan located in Tbilisi has been sold to a Georgian businessman for $25,000. The “Vernatun” was an upper story chamber that the poet used as gathering place for Armenian intellectuals, writers and artists of the day. Levon Ananyan, President of the Armenian Writers Union, has also confirmed the sale of this historic Armenian site.

                  Mr. Ananyan states that the house appeared on the private market some 4-5 years ago at an asking price of $15,000. He notes that he petitioned the Armenian government to purchase the site at the time but that there was no follow-up on the matter. Mr. Ananyan was hopeful that the issue could be amicably resolved by the governments of Armenia and Karabakh on the 140th anniversary of Tumanyan’s birthday.

                  During an interview with “Hetq”, Deputy Armen Bayanduryan of the Georgian Parliament and Director of the P.Adamyan Theater in Tbilisi noted that the Tumanyan library had been sold some ten years ago and that he had no news of any recent sale of property. This news was somewhat contradicted by Hovhannes Grigoryan, Secretary of the Writers Union, who stated that the sale of the library occurred within the past 10-15 days and expressed amazement over the 10 year claim.

                  Mr. Grigoryan added that the site had been under the jurisdiction of the Tbilisi Mayor’s Office, at the request of the Tumanyan heirs. He speculated that the transaction was the work of somebody with contacts in local government.

                  The “Vernatun” was established by Hovhannes Tumanyan in 1899 at the house where he resided at Behrutyan Street #44 on the top fourth floor. Members of the literary group would meet once or twice a week to discuss and debate various literary and national issues. Permanent members included Ghazaros Aghayan, Avetik Isahakyan, Levon Shant, Derenik Demirjyan and Nikol Aghbalyan. Other noteworthy literary and artistic figures such as Mouratsan, Komitas, Proshyan, to name a few, also attended the gatherings .

                    Tigran Karapetyan Says He’s Ready to Buy Tumanyan Residence
                    [ 2009/02/11 | 16:53 ] politics
                    Ararat Davtyan

                    Labelling the recent sale of the Hovhannes Tumanyan residence in Tbilisi to a Georgian businessman for $25,000 a “shame”, Tigran Karapetyan, President of the People’s Party of Armenia, declared that he’d be willing to buy back the building if it was a question of money. The politician criticized those who remained indifferent to such a development and who didn’t act to purchase the Tumanyan house when it first went on the market 4-5 years ago for $10,000-15,000.

                    “If it is possible to purchase the house and it’s just a matter of money, I’m willing to buy it. Let the Foreign Ministry set up the deal and I’ll buy it,” declared Mr. Karapetyan today.

                    He confessed that we had the impression that Armenia’s Foreign Minister was only dealing with the Artsakh issue. “Let him travel to Georgia and take care of this problem and the problems in Javakhk. They are bringing back coffins from Russia. Who is behind this? Official protest letters must be sent to this government and public clarifications demanded,” Mr. Karapetyan stressed.

                      ATA URGES GEORGIAN CULTURE MINISTER TO ADDRESS ARMENIAN MONUMENTS PROBLEM

                      The Assembly of Tbilisi Armenians (ATA) urged the Georgian Minister of Culture and Sports Nikoloz Rurua to give a legal assessment to unauthorized changes of the image of Surb Norashen Armenian Church. As ATA told PanARMENIAN.Net, the Church, as a cultural monument, should be under protection of the Ministry. “We also demand clarification as regards the other Armenian churches: Sueb Nshan, Shamkhoretsor Surb Astvatsatsin (Karmir Avetaran), Yerevanots Surb Minas and Mugni Surb Gevorg,” said the ATA statement. The members of the organization also turned to Tbilisi city administration with a number of questions regarding Surb Norashen Armenian Church.
