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: Dashnaktsutyun - Armenian Revolutionary Federation

    Yedtarts, also Antranik fought for I believe thirty years with his troops on the mountains of Armenia against our enemy. Along with Karekin Nejteh and Tro, Antranik is and has been practically the demagod of our nation for over a century. At one point he believed in the freaking Brits and trusted them; but hey he didn't expect that the Brits were going to stab him in the back the way they did. Though our enemy was always in fear of him for many many years.

      I bow to the memory of all our heroes no matter what political parties they’ve belonged, these people gave their lives to our people and they deserve our respect no matter what! It’s like putting our people’s and nation’s interests above everything else. Karekin Nejteh and Andranik are my idols because they were the ultimate nationalists.

        And so did the young turks to Dashnaks, we cannot blame them because they were backstabbed, everything was done with our nation’s best interests in mind.

          I know what you're saying. After Abdul Hamid II'nd ARF thought that the young turks would be different or better, not knowing that they were worse. Right after Adana's annihilation ARF withdrew from them of course. And yes they did have our nation's best interests in mind.

            Andranik is a legend for our Nation, like Sasuntsy Davit, and it cannot and shouldn’t be disputed.

            Now we need to have more Andraniks to prevent endorsing the death sentence issued to Armenia in the protocol.

              Back then our leaders/heroes (like most everyone else) were naive, they didn’t know who were these international Anti Christian and Anti Humanity black forces who had an evil agenda to control the world also wanted to finish and wipe us from the face of this planet. they've thought the Brits or the French will help us just because we were Christians, most of the times we were stabbed in back by these people.

              I’m not blaming Dashnakes, like I said, they had good intentions in mind, but Antranik warn them about the young turks, saying “turks can never be trusted”

When you disrespect him it's like you’re disrespecting your whole nation, because every thinker and every great men of our nation spoke well and respected this man.
                Mukuch is not disrespecting him, sounds to me he is criticizing Andranik’s actions during the Sardarabad battle.

                As Armenian we should question actions of our leaders past and present with cool heads so we can understand and learn. Constructive criticism is very good, assumptions are not……….something we do a lot.
                No one man or a party is always right and we can all make mistakes with the best of intentions.

                BTW, my take is that the Dashnaks should have considered Andranik’s warnings, but I would like to see good arguments on both sides.

                    No I don't agree with you Haykakan. I tend to agree with Eddo's analysis. Mukuch is questioning because Antranig had a huge dispute with ARF and I believe Antranig didn't agree with ARF especially when he listened to the Britons and their mega lies and gave up the right of way of our lands and Mukuch is finding fault in that. I happen to know that my father found fault in Antranig for it as well.

                    With retrospect in regards to ARF, there's a saying I'll be darned if I do and darned if I don't. What was Tashnagtsoutyoun to do? Tashnagtsoutyoun armed themselves and fought on the mountains of Armenia against the genocidal pogrom Mongolian turks who lutted, killed, raped, burned, stole and did everything else to Armenian populace. And after the Hamidian massacres they thought that the newly elected young turks were speaking the truth that they will help Armenians. They didn't know that they were worse off and they were speaking with both ends of their mouths. Of course right after the Adana massacres, they stopped believing in them and they stayed completely away from them. Those were very hard times for Armenians as they were always living in sheer fear. It was horrible times for us much before the Genocide.

                      Dashnaks also lost plenty of our lands because they refused russias help when it was offered. We could have still had kars, Erzrum and other towns along with their Armenian inhabitants but..
