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.

  • Charles Aznavour turns 80

    For our french speaking posters...

    What the article mainly says is that Charles Aznavour, the great French-Armenian singer turned 80, and his concert was attended by President Chirac, and he was accompanied on stage by many famous French and non-French singers.

    When the birthday cake came, a French singer started singing "Pour toi Arménie" (the song Aznavour sang to raise money after the 88 earthquake), accompanied by a choir of children that had come from Armenia.

    He's a truly great singer (I don't say this because he's Armenian), and he reminds me of my grandfather, especially when he speaks Armenian.

    80e anniversaire de Charles Aznavour


    Agence France-Presse

    Paris

    Le président français Jacques Chirac et Bernadette Chirac ont assisté samedi soir au concert du 80e anniversaire de Charles Aznavour au palais des Congrès à Paris, a constaté l'AFP.

    Ce concert exceptionnel, au profit de l'Institut national du cancer, était retransmis en direct sur les chaînes de télévision privées françaises TFI et RTL. Le ministre de la Santé Philippe Douste-Blazy était également présent.

    De nombreux artistes étaient venus et Charles Aznavour a notamment interprété ses chansons en duo avec Johnny Hallyday, Liza Minnelli, le ténor Roberto Alagna, Patricia Kaas ou Nana Mouskouri.

    Entouré de chanteurs de toutes générations qui lui avaient fait la surprise de leur présence et d'un orchestre de trente musiciens, applaudi à son arrivée par le couple présidentiel au premier rang, Charles Aznavour a interprété trois chansons seul. Il a commencé par Je me voyais déjà et a terminé par Mort vivant une chanson sur le délit d'opinion extraite de son dernier album intitulé Je voyage, disque d'or.

    Ma jeunesse, entre mélancolie et ironie, a également été l'un des moments forts de cette soirée, ainsi qu'un duo en anglais avec Liza Minnelli sur The Sound of Your Name.

    L'artiste, tout de noir vêtu et qui terminait un série de 25 récitals au palais des Congrès à Paris, a également chanté avec sa fille Katia, avec Laurent Gerra qui a imité sa voix, avec Florent Pagny Emmenez moi ou encore Vanessa Paradis. Il a aussi interprété avec le ténor Roberto Alagna La Mamma et Liane Foly, accompagnée des petits chanteurs de la Croix de bois, a chanté Ave Maria. Line Renaud, qu'il a connue en 1948, a revisité avec émotion sa chanson Hier encore j'avais 20 ans, lui disant «ce soir encore, tu as 20 ans» et Muriel Robin s'est lancée dans un Je n'aime que toi très syncopé.

    Catherine Ringer et le jeune chanteur Corneille ont réinterprété l'inaltérable Bohème, alors que les plus jeunes comme Alizée, Nolwenn ou Jenifer défendaient des standards d'Aznavour.

    Avant le traditionnel gâteau d'anniversaire, l'acteur Michel Serrault s'était essayé à quelques facéties en sortant d'un gâteau géant de carton pâte, et Hélène Segara avait entonné Pour toi Arménie» avec une chorale d'enfants venue d'Arménie.

    Pour l'artiste international Aznavour qui se dit «mélodiste et non compositeur», «la retraite c'est la mort». Il a été longuement ovationné par la salle debout, y compris le couple présidentiel tandis que tous les chanteurs réunis sur scène lui souhaitaient «joyeux anniversaire».
