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.

    I disagree with Mos as the thing is that Armenia and Iran have ancient Pre Christian and Islamic ties, it would sever ancient bonds of trust and culture to completely close off the border with Iran, and Western Christians haven't really given that much for Armenia, look at Germany they helped the damn Turks in the first place, so it's maybe not a good idea to see it in a religious sense but more what would benefit the nation and the region in the long run
    You can't base today relations on relations during ancient time. You have to be a little more current than that, at least several hundred years. France has been a better friend to us than Iran, and I would argue many EU countries have also been good to us in relations to their stance on Turkey/Azerbaijan. We have to look forward which is EU not backwards which is Iran.

    The Lion is Hurro-Urartian, it's from when Hayk rode on Lion's back as he was depicted back then, also his bow and arrow are visible. In addition the eagle is the Aryan symbol of Armenia, Aryans same as Native Americans saw the Eagle has a sacred image and used it often for their people.

    Re: Armenia stands today because of Iran?

    Parskahay, nobody disagrees with you that Iran is a very important economic and political partner of Armenia. We as Armenians, have always showed respect for Iran and have never been hostile too it.

    But please do not compare our culture with the Iranian culture. We have very different norms and values. I am not against Iranian students, professors, companies or normal Iranian families who visit Armenia to experience our culture.

    I just say do not talk of Iranians like they are holy. The real Persian culture in general has been destructed. The Iranian culture has been affected by Islamic values in every aspect.

    Ofcourse we have to try to increase our population, or to improve our economy, but this does not mean Iranians should take a part in this.

    Their culture is poisonous and we must not let them (because they had a bad experience in their country) to come to our country and act like freaks.

    Even Armenians in Iran (in the past) have always kept a distance from Iranians, because we know how they really are. We never had Iranian friends, we never let Iranians come to our neighbourhoods, we just did business with them.

    we must blame our government for that.and in my opinion we will vanquish if we at least dont have 1 strong friend country in middle east
    Iran gives us has yes, we have good economic relations with Iran, but we should only be economic partners with Iran nothing more. Once we have enough economic independence than we can close border with Iran to keep those Iranians out.
