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: Armenian Georgian Relations

    Most of the lands that we have a claim to are in Eastern Turkey, only a very small portion is in Georgia. Plus, why the hell would anyone want to make Georgia an enemy? We don't have enough enemies in the region? You just want to totally block Armenia from the rest of the world?

      Everyone is our enemy, Georgia is in bed with our enemies. They are screwing with the Armenians living there. How long till there are no Armenians living there? Maybe in 5 years they will decide to go the same way the Azeris went in the end of the 80's and get rid of the Armenians.

      Tell me from all our neighboring countries who isn't our enemy, please tell me? Because I can think of one that isn't. And haven't you realized that the world love the strong and hate the weak. Look at Israel it can do what ever it wants and no one dares to touch them, even without US support I wouldn't see any power going against Israel.

        If the U.S. (rather the Israeli lobby that has lived in the U.S. for hundreds of years), U.K. and France didn't support Israel, they wouldn't have a chance in hell to survive in the Middle East.

        As U.S.'s power diminishes you will see more revolutions like the one that's going on in Tunisia and Egypt. The people of these countries are tired of living under dictatorships imposed on them by western governments and I think there are also backdoor contracts that we never hear of that are coming to an end. These also happen to be lands formerly ruled by the Ottomans. Turkey would not be able to protect all the land it has if it wasn't for military support from the west. If a legal peace treaty like Sevres can't be held up by the powers that drew it up, it is up to Armenians to point out their hypocrisy and use it as leverage.

        I can also guarantee you that Georgia has elements that are working for the interest of Israel.

          I'm talking about today, Israel can survive without US support because non of it's neighbors have the power needed to attack them and destroy them. At the Levant they are the ones that have the power, if they want they can do whatever they want. Now the question is, why is the West supporting them? Because it would be foolish not to support them.

          Now as Armenians we must make the world support us because doing so will gain them much more than not doing so.

          And for the time being the US is still the major power and will be that for the first part of the century after that it could be that China, Indai or Russia takes it's place or we get a world like in the 19th century with many major powers, but for the time being US has still more power than every other nation.

          I'm not waiting for the powers of the world to return us our lands, neither should any other Armenian. We should work towards that goal on our own and use any means necessary.
          Right now I'm reading the Armenian Golgotha, the memories of Grigoris Balakian, there you see majority of Armenians till the end having faith in the Ottoman government to stop it and save them. You read how rich and powerful Armenians being naive and believing that Talat, friend of Armenians (words from the book) would save them and stop the bloodshed.
          I for one am sick of having trust in any government or institution to help us. Its time that we as a people help our selves.

            I bought that book a while ago, haven't read it yet. I also believe that the rich and powerful Armenians were involved in selling us out but that's an entirely different topic. I agree that we have to help ourselves but it's also easier to use others to do your dirty work than doing it yourself. For example, Syria was supposed to have been given Sanjak province which is now Hatay in modern day Turkey. There are also the Kurds which are a huge rebel force inside Turkey. Creating more friction between these age old grievances is what politics is all about. Dividing and conquering is easier than conquering by force.

            Georgia really can't do much for Armenia, it's best to just remain neutral and pretend to be friends.

              You really have to get over the notion that in this world there are true "friends" between countries. The only thing that is close to a friendship is ethnic ties like between Turkey and Azerbaijan or Cyprus and Greece. Countries only care about their self-interests, you must understand that, and for their own gain they will do anything let it be supporting dictatorships or giving weapons to gain economically and politically. When it comes to things to offer, Armenia has very little. No ocean, no oil, few natural resources, so naturally not many countries are going to care about us. Azeris have oil, and for that they will be very popular, and Georgia has access to Black Sea and is a ideal transit country for gas piplelines to West.

              Why is Russia good with us? It's not because they like us, or they like our culture, that is BS, it is because they can use us a strategic base militarily, and we are located in a crucial crossroad. If they can gain more by being good with our enemies they will sell us in a heartbeat, along with any alliance we ever be in.

              So don't fall into the trap that countries have true "friends" or "allies", it's all an illusion, every country is just focused on its self gain and will ally itself with whatever country to get ahead, it's as simple as that. Alliances are also dynamic, long time allies can turn into staunch foes in a heartbeat.

                Like for example we want a coast line we will take it and not care if it belonged to us or not. That is Armenian imperialism.

                  I think there are already many outside forces that wish for more tensions to originate from the Kurds. If in addition to that, we aid in the introduction of liberal values that will destroy Turkish identity and wussify the average Turk, our troubles will ease. I think that's already on the way as well.

                    You should read it, the book gives an insight to what happened from the position of one of the leaders of the Armenian nation. About Armenians being involved in the genocide I got one thing to say, the 250 people that were arrested on 24th of April the list with their names was made by an Armenian.

                    Yes that is also a part of what I'm saying, using other to do what you want, is also a part of imperialism. But when you say stop at some border, that is the point I say go to where ever we want once Armenia stretched all the way to Egyptian border so why not in 200 years?

                    I never thought there is friendship between two nations not even between Cyprus and Greece or Turkey and Azerbaijan, when time comes they will fight each other like every other nation.
                    That is what i've been saying all along that we should forget the notion of Georgians being our allies or anything else they are our next enemy. After the Artsakh war is finished our next war will be in Javakh.

                      Starting another war? You don't understand how much Armenia needs stability right now, a war with Georgia would devastate us, and would devastate our infrastructure, economy, and in the end the people. We've barely gotten on our feet after the 90s, why the hell plunge Armenia into a repetition of dark years? Plus attacking Georgia will mean that we will be blocked on 3 fronts, so I have no idea how Armenia will survive like that, and who knows maybe Iran one day chooses to join their Muslim compatriots. This would be the worst thing for Armenia I don't understand how you can support creating a new conflict like that, after Karabakh is solved, let us improve our country, get rid of corruption, improve education, infrastructure. Let us make a better country and for once have some stability in this chaotic region.
