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.

This is proof of how we can grow our country through tolorance.

      I like the Yezdi people, many of them fought in Artsakh. I just wanted to make a distinction between muslim kurds and the Yezdi, whom I think we can work with better, that is all.
      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.

It is 100% sertain that our genes have a diverse background which is the result of intermixing with so many different people. Now can you please tell me why that persian guy cant be Armenian if he wants to? Not to mention that the persians are genetically the same as us. I guess it would really piss you racists off if you found out that turcks are pretty much genetically the same as us to because of intermixing for so long. The concept of armenian is based on culture not genetics, if it was based on genetics there would not be any countries.

        That mixing was due more to force than anything else. It was quite common for women to be raped and/or kidnapped and taken to turkish harems. Most turks, especially those in the west of turkey, are actually genetically speaking closer to the peoples of the Caucasus and Balkans than the seljuks, ottomans and other turkic tribes who came west from Central Asia.
        What you are advocating is mixing by choice which is very different.

          Greater Armenia existed in ancient times and it’s not only on Armenian maps, you can find it on lots of historic maps, but you cannot find Kurdistan on any historic maps. Kurds think if they’ve walked on certain lands it should be called Kurdistan. Turks displaced tem and put them on Armenian lands and now they claim these lands as Kurdistan.

              We do not live in ancient times. Borders constantly change and always have throughout history. Kurds are nomadic people so they never settled in one place but they were always around that region. We lived with kurds for a loong time as neighbors and should they get their own state then it will be official. Maybe we will get something to if turcky falls apart but that may or may not happen. We Armenians need to figure out a way to populate the lands we already have and prosper there before we can think of gettin back our historic lands.

                That's true we should work on making better use of the lands we have, which includes increasing the population. But with such a small and resource less land, with hostile neighbors it will be hard. Also, we shouldn't forget that kurds have their interests, as we do, so our task is to make sure if Armenia does help them it is in a way which then we will become useless for them. The best option for Armenia to follow in regards to turkey is 'bait and bleed'.

                    The difference between us and them is: it was them who backstabbed their good neighbor, raped and kidnapped our wives and daughters every time they felt we were week that is why they cannot be trusted.
                    Kurd are friendly only when they’re week and need us.

                      Yetards is correct...and to drive the point home, I can tell you that the Assyrian (Christian) population of northern Iraq is deathly afraid of the Kurds.
                      I know this from first-hand experience when I did a tour in Baghdad as I approached by Assyrian leadership who related their fear that once the US leaves, they would be massacred by the Kurds.
                      Remember, this is the present - modern times. It seems the Genocidal tendencies have not changed among Kurds.

                      With that said, Armenia should only interact with the Kurds based on national interests...trust should never enter the equation.
