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.

    It's like saying that the Dutch and the Germans are brothers.

    I can't believe that someone would think Armenians and Iranians are brothers, it just amazes me.... WOW.

    How about you prove your points, instead of posting complete BS. Btw, the Dutch speak a Germanic language, but Armenian is not an Iranian language, so your analogy does not work.
    I know right.....I think Azar just has an identity crisis, he wishes he wasn't Persian, and thus says they are brothers of Armenians in order to feel better about his identity

    First of all there's not term "brother" for ethnic groups, it's ethnic cousins. And the ethnic cousins for Iranians especially in the North is the Azeris. Iranians have much more similarity to Azeris than anybody else. The Iranians in the South, have a lot of Arab blood so probably Arabs are their ethnic cousins.

    As for Armenians, our only ethnic cousins are the Hemshin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemshinlis). See azar, that's our ethnic cousins, not Persians. And I know actually many Persians, (some of my closest friends are Persian) and you're the only one to say such a ridiculous thing...

      Re: An example of Armenian-Turkish friendship

      Why would I want to be Armenian and why would you want to be Persian? I'm proud of who I am, love for the other peoples of the region does not mean you wish to be 'like them' or other nonsense. I hope the Iranic peoples can drop their feelings of ethnic isolation. I consider Armenians of partial Iranic descend.

      It's cool you had to rely on a personal attack though. Also, the Southern Iranians are not ethnic cousins of Semites, Iranians in the South have no more than 20% Semitic DNA.

      Prove that you are not of partial Iranic descent, please, prove that, don't go off on a tangent or make another filthy attack against me or my race.

        I've already posted that site a million times. Is genetics not good enough for you?? Armenians are not of Iranian decent, and it's ridiculous to think so. And why do you think you know better than Armenians what we are and aren't??

        I hate people always trying to label Armenians. Armenians are Armenians, native Caucasians and native to the Armenian highland. End of story.

          Sure they do......in fact they date long before marriage and its not arranged.

          I think you are confusing Iranians with Arabs. Also in case anybody is wondering there are more atheists in Iran than there are in Armenia and Diaspora per percentage (most Iranis are still found of Zoroastrian but don't practice it) and they still blame the Arabs (considered their mortal enemy) for forcing Islam on them.
          Also remember that Iran (even the ancient Persia) was/is a very multi-ethnic nation where every recognized minority can be a proud Iranian.

          With that said, in today’s Islamic republic of Iran, most religious Iranis would advise not to marry a Christian but it is not punished or denied and there is no requirement for any of them to convert their religion after such a marriage. In fact I know of many Iranis coming to Armenian churches to convert, mostly of Turkish origin believe it or not.

          Armenians have in common more with their Iranian "brothers" than any other nation. This doesn’t mean that we are of same blood, but if it comes to spilling blood we back each other up to the end, like true brothers who are in no doubt about their own unique identity and don’t forget the past. There is a reason why one of the smallest ethnic groups in Iran has representatives in this Islamic government. You see how both countries leaders treat each other compared to others. You don't have to search to long in history to find evidence.

          Yeprem Khan Davidian (Armenian: Եփրեմ Խան, Եփրեմ Դավթյան, Farsi: یپرمخان داویدیان), also Yefrem Khan, (1868-1912) was an Armenian revolutionary leader and national hero of Iran.

            Very good, but if you are really an Iranian then you should already know that when we say brothers we don’t mean that literally and we know inside what that term really stands for....you get what I am talking about brotherman?

              What Azar is saying is that Armenians are of Iranian decent which is not true at all. Second of all it's natural there will be some famous Armenians in Iran because many Armenians fled to Iran because of Genocide, and being treated well by the Iranians is not relevant, Armenians may very well been treated in such a manner by the Chinese.

              I hate when people say this nation or this ethnic group is Armenia's brothers. This is very silly we don't have brothers. The only people close to brothers are the Hemshin people which are of Armenian descent. Iranians are not our brothers, they may be our friends, but not our brothers.

              Lastly, we have our unique culture, language, and religion, and we do share some similarities with our Caucasian neighbours when it comes to culture as we are native to the Caucasus region, but in all we are Armenians and should not be associated with other ethnic groups.

                Did you read my post? You (and Azar) don’t seem to understand what it really means when Iranians call us brothers. It has nothing to do with ethicity......it has to do with friendship, but it is more than just that.

                  Maybe to Iranian-Armenians, Iranians are "brothers" but not to armenians from armenia, to us Iranians are just economic friends nothing more.

                    You should also know that this brotherhood is not at individual level and you gotta hold your own grounds with Iranians, in your case the ones you see making trouble when partying in Armenia.

                      I'm fine with Iranians, they're nice people, I just don't think they are our brothers and it's just silly to think anybody are our brothers, even in friendship. Probably for Iranian-Armenians, but I know for a fact there is no brotherly friendship between Armenia's Armenians; there just simply isn't. We don't think bad of them, we're just neutral regarding them as simple as that.

                      Iran as a country is a good country for us economically, though I despise the human rights violations and the theocracy in the end of the day we are good economic partners with them. That doesn't make us brothers either, just makes us solid trading partners.

                      Any Armenian from Armenia will trust ex-Soviet people over any other people, just because we all have for a few generations grown up in this Soviet culture with which we all can identity. It's in a way a dual culture to an extent even today. My father for example spoke more Russian at home than Armenian when growing up, and received his education in Russian all throughout.

                      So maybe western armenians see this close friendship with Iranians, but not eastern armenians. truthfully they are just neutral for us, nothing bad, just not close friends. And I see this firsthand when sometimes translating for Iranians in Armenia, and seeing how our Armenians deal with them. It's not as brothers, or close friends, it's just a respectable but neutral relationship. Nothing much in common to talk about or relate to, just the business of tourism.
