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.

    While Czechs/Sardinians/Greeks/French/Germans/Italians/British/Dutch/Spain are more closely related, same goes for Russians/Ukrainians/Uzbek/polish/hungarians/kazak/Saami/kyrgyz

              Yes the Armenians are an anomaly. As they have a higher frequency of R1b than Balkan populations and the Anatolian hypothesis seemingly applys far more to R1b, than to R1a. Whilst eupedia is not a reliable source. It's my understanding that their are pockets of R1b in Eastern Armenia in the high 30's.

              It's also worth noting that on the Eupedia sites chart, Lebanon has a lot of J2 like Cyprus and Greece. The Lebanese actually have very mixed genetics. However they are originally from Mesopotamia. Since J2 is Western Semitic marker from the Fertile Crescent and you are quite right to differentiate it's regional distribution from J's Southern Arabian branch J1.

              Arabization hasn't masked the fact that the Lebanese aren't Arabs.

                An important fact has been overlooked here. Ancient Armenian tribes like the Hurrians and Mitanni migrated from Armenia to the middle east and established kingdoms there. Due to these ancient migrations, many modern Arabs (especially Syrians and Lebanese) resemble the typical phenotypes which were/are present in the Armenian Highlands. So its false to say that Armenians "look like Arabs", in fact its more correct to say its the Arabs who look like us.

                Same thing is true of Turks. Turks didn't look mediterranean when they came from the far east. They looked more or less like every other tribe which migrated out of greater Mongolia, whether it was Huns or Mongols. It was only after this small number of Turks assimilated into the local populations that they started to resemble the typical Greek and Armenian. Again, its not so much that Armenians look like Turks, rather its the Turks who look like Armenians.

                    I think we can end this thread by saying:

                    Armenians, Iranians and Azerbaijanis, are a non-white people, with a small white minority.

                    That's pretty much, the truth after all.

                      I disagree. I think what's going on here is actually, since our homelands are on the fringes, or just outside of Europe... the question of "whiteness", which is heavily associated with "Europeanness" starts to become controversial and hazy... It's not black and white (forgive the pun)... You see, even if the genetics show a clear relationship to Europeans, the regional adaptations that include tanned skin and whatnot makes us "look" different from this arbitrarily defined, heterogeneous set of appearances called "white", but in reality, we have enough in common with them that deciding whether or not to consider ourselves as part of the same set becomes a game, a matter of preference, hence why Armenians experience "white status" by the American government to evade giving them the benefits of being a visible minority, whilst at the same time, are also considered as "Middle Eastern" socially, to exclude them from being socially accepted as white. A double standard?

                      Eastern Europeans don't look necessarily like western ones, but because they don't tan as much as we do, they pass as white, while we share many physical features in common with Europeans. I guess xxxs are even more interesting cases, because many of them have pale skin, but preserve the physical legacy of their middle eastern origins, and too are not always considered white... Very strange.
