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.

    As idiotic as trying to classify Armenians in this way may be...the idiot Armenians that try and justify their "whiteness" are even bigger idiots in my opinion. Or xxxx it, lets all just base our opinions of each other on what happened thousands of years ago, much of which isn't even well documented.....or actually no lets not.

    We're our own people, we do our own thing, have our own values, and are generally not followers. Some of us are darker than your asian nipple, most of us are whiter than your toilet bowl, either way we're obviously not apart of the masses considering the percentage of us that are able to do extraordinary things. So the few that actually start and continue with these stupid discussions... just take a step back, understand yourself, and expend your energy on something greater.

    This is all coming from the pasty-est light brown haired 100% Yerevantsi Armenian you can think of.
    Bravo! Comparing skin tone/eye color/hair color and claiming one is inherently more Armenian than the other just shows the insecurity of the person suring it. We are Caucasian, sure. But before we are "white" or "caucasian" or whatever definition you want to use, we are Armenian.

      Armenians are a diverse people with a history and culture that's second to none. Skin tone isn't a requirement, but the Armenian spirit is.

In fact because of the cold war many people thought the USSR or the USA was gonna be nuked. But now, we have an independent country and many people are thinking of returning home.
          More people are leaving Armenian then staying. Doh!!! Largest migration since 2001.


          23 thousand people left Armenia in 2008
          28.01.2009 21:18 GMT+04:00
          /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Substantial increase in migration was fixed in 2008, according to the migration agency at the RA ministry of territorial administration.

          The Armenian state border was crossed 2 mln 817 thousand times last year. The number of leaving people exceeded the number of those arriving with 23 059.

          It has been the worst index since 2001 when 60 thousand people left the republic. At that, the largest human drain was fixed in March-April, after the tragic events that followed the February presidential election.

          It’s also reported that 600 thousand people visited Armenia as tourists. They were mostly Armenians from the United States, France, Georgia and Iran.

            Armenians share common ancestry in the Middle East, most notably Anatolian, Turks, Kurds and xxxs. xxxs are related more closely to the groups of the northern Fertile Crescent than their Arab neighbors to the south. But Arabs also still share this founder gene. http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpag...=&pagewanted=1

            Armenians are part of the Middle East. http://www.nature.com/ejhg/journal/v.../5201869a.html

            Here, you can read in the abstract that Armenians are more closely related to their Caucasian neighbors than their respective linguistic groups. mtDNA groups are more closely related to Europe than the Near East but Y-chromosomes show their is more of an influence from the Near East than Europe. http://www.eva.mpg.de/genetics/pdf/Y-paper.pdf

                  sorry guys, but it is our civilization that is distinct from those present now in the Middle East. Our genes share ancestry with most of the northern Middle East, which is nothing to be ashamed of. It is the civilization that we create that transcends blood, not vice versa.

                  We have our own flavour/type though as descendants of Armenian Highlanders, be assured of that.

                    ok merhayrenik, I'd like to see if you have any evidence to back up your viewpoint and Anoush, I'd like to see your argument as well, dismissing scientific evidence isn't always a smart thing to do, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. From what I've seen, we're from Middle East, please make a strong argument against or for it, or don't talk at all.

                      There is plenty of good posts on this topic within this thread and in other threads found on this forum. Please stop using the political term 'middle east' and use the geographic term Near East.

                      There are a number of studies on this issue and many theories, don't just look at one or two and then run with it.
                      For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
                      to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.
