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.

    There is tons and tons of documentary and legal evidence.

    To start with haven't you heard of the Armenian Genocide Museum in Armenia.

    Ahh .. www.genocide-museum.am documentary evidence. I suggest you read my posts at http://forum.hyeclub.com/showthread.php?t=18693

    Grow up and stop treating the subject you claim to care about with all the respect of a 2-year-old left alone with a marker pen and an antique painting.

      Politics is not about the pursuit of morality nor what's right or wrong
      Its about self interest at personal and national level often at odds with the above.
      Great politicians pursue the National interest and small politicians personal interests

        Don't bother asking Armenians about sources regarding the Armenian Genocide. Armenians know what they know, and don't feel the need to provide sources. That is why the words "Armenian Genocide" are mostly still accompanied by the word "alleged", it isn't really because of Turkish propaganda - that propaganda is merely kicking against an open door that Armenians have declined to lock.

        Yes, most of the "hands on" killing was done by Kurds ("hands on" as opposed to, say, leaving people to die of thirst or starvation). The simple weight of eyewitness accounts indicates that that is true.
        You should join the Heritage party, also comprimised of sneaky non-Armenian people like you, who ''tend to care about Armenia'', but just fool other people around. Can I again ask what your ethnicity is? I am not going into the stupid discussion with you, but I recommend you to watch ''Aghet ein volkermord'', that's for people like you who have never read any books about the Armenian genocide because then you would have known there are tons of evidences, mostly from non-Armenian sources.

          Erm ... it is you who are the people who have never read any books about the Armenian Genocide. And then try to make out that you are experts. The result is like a balloon, big and showy on the outside but containing nothing of substance and easily punctured by the bluntest Turkish needle.

            As I said, like it is no use to go into discussion with a Turkish genocide-denier, neither has it got sense to go into discussion with you. The least you could do it watch the documentary (Aghet: ein volkermord), where dozens of real evidences of non-Armenian origin are showed.

            Everybody on this forum should know you are not Armenian, but are just pretending to be one. What is your ethnicity? If I should guess, an American (a typical ArmeniaNow.com guy).

            A wolf in sheeps clothes, fellow Armenians be aware of bell-the-cat, just don't take him too seriously.

              A point worth making is that everyone who participated in the genocide against us is long dead by now. Yes the denial by modern day turkey is a sort of perpetuation of the genocide but it is nothing compared to the damadge fellow armenians do to eachother and their country today. The modern day turk is reaping many benefits which by all rights should be ours and they should pay us for these benefits (land and money) but they are not responcible for the genocide their ancestors perpetrated. The lesson to not paint everyone with the same brush can take a long time to learn and i do not blame some of the younger people for not understanding this part of life yet but it is a important part which i hope they will learn one day. We should never forget the genocide and i agree with hrai when he says "if turks recognise and apologise for Genocide, if, that would mean absolutely nothing to me. What is done is done and cannot be undone by words." thus i do not support the diaspora politics of genocide recognition. As a matter of fact i think those who preach that genocide recognition is going to get us anything at all are simply fantasizing. The utter fixation on the genocide especialy in the diaspora prevents us from identifying and dealing with the mortal dangers to Armenians and Armenia. Instead of building a nation we are letting it fall apart. Instead of spending our money and efforts on constructing a homeland we would all like to live in we are pissing it away on polititions who smile and promise the world yet deliver nothing. How long must this go on before armenians wake up? However long it is, i hope they will still have a homeland to wake up to. No court or politition or ruling or anything else will ever bring us justice. Before we can think about justice we have to build a strong homeland yet this is not what the energies and resources of the diaspora are aimed at. Often i have talked to fellow diasporans about investing in Armenia and most will respond with "i heard sonso invested money but those hayastantsies took it all and he was left with nothing". I want to emphasize the fact here that non of them ever invested a cent in Armenia but they readily draw the conclusion that such a investment is worthless since they heard of some guy who once invested there and did not succeed. There are thousends of examples where diasporans and foreigners invested and profited and continue to profit in Armenia yet that "sonso" example seems to trumph them all in the minds of most diasporans i have talked to. People have great powers but usually these powers go untapped. Should we Armenians understand the threats facing us and tap into our own powers we can make a huge difference. Yes we can still build a country that we all would like to live in, all we have to do is set real goals and meet them. If the story in this thread is true then it is a good example of utter recklesness on the part of this woman and her husband and evile cruelty on the part of whoever comitted this disgustingly cowarly act. Just imagine how demented one must be to do these things to a pregnant woman. This act does not make all turks monsters but it was commited by monsters.
              Retroactive justice is I'm afaid, no justice at all, but rather revenge. That said, it's a mistake to naïvly, believe in peaceful political solutions to what are on going inter-ethnic/ethno-religious conflicts. As the fact of the matter is that Shiite Iran and Lebanon are the only two, Muslim states to recognise the Armenian Genocide.

              Politically the Turks neo-Ottomanist/Islamist government aren't in a position to recognise the Armenian Genocide. Since this would naturally open a pandora's box of compensation claims and other genocide recognition demands as well as domestic security problems.

              However I worry more about the Armenians-Azerbaijan conflict. As it is a regional flash point, that can only serve to exacerbate wider, ethno-religious tensions and divisions. What is more, as long as both Armenians and Azeris are willing to be used as pawns in regional imperialist games. They will remain weak, polarized, inherently corrupt, vassal states. Who quarrel endlessly about who first poisoned the Caucasus well.

                Tigranakert, Bell and Londontsi, stop attacking eachother. No more character assassinations, or you'll receive a ban.

                And Tigranakert, stop trying to warn "Armenians" about some dangerous/evil member on the forum who expresses points of view that contradict yours, I've noticed its a habit of yours and all it does is add needless drama to the thread. Just because bell is a bit harsh about Armenians (he's pretty harsh about Turks too) doesn't make him bad, he's challenging how well you know the literature on the genocide.

                Being Armenian and inheriting the testimonies of genocide survivors is part of the thorn on the side of the Turkish agenda of denial, but it is not the enough on its own, in fact, on its own it can be to our own detriment. Being the experiencers of the genocide doesn't make us the best debaters, in fact it can make us spend too much time talking about how Turks are "central asian savages", while we are "civilized Christian saints", and no one who is not Armenian gives a xxxx. That is what Bell is trying to point out about "Armenians".

                  Spot on, Gegev. When such a miniscule percentage of turks act in a humane way, they are held up as the "typical turk"........incredible.

                  The blindness which covers many eyes, especially the ones who want to "move forward", "see both sides" etc, is that they transplant their own values to the turks.

                  We need to be aware and alert that turks have completely different view on the world and other nations. We relax our guard at our peril. Keep a dog in the yard, but keep wolves away.

                  Read about the Genocide, read about people's reactions to what was going on. As each new wave of massacre rolled upon defenceless villages, the people would dis-believe what was actually happening. Happenings beyond human comprehension. Realisation came too late, death came to early.

                  This "it could never happen here and now, it's a civilised country" is seen in every land where genocide and massacres have happened.

                  One civilizations values can never be supplanted on another, turks gloss over their values, their instincts, their barbarism. Then the mask slips, 1868 to now, how many times has the mask slipped, how many lives have paid for this?
                  Always keep your own values and never, ever, ever assume another people hold those same values.

                  Back to subject of thread.
                  I doubt very much this woman was Armenian, BUT she was a human and despatched in fashion not fit for dog. Remember, apologists, muslims only eat halal meat, meat killed in far better fashion than victims of "honour killings".

                      Right, but when it will turn into compensation/lands issue, we must remember it, in that context.
