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.

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.
    Great idea Comrade.......you guys keep the Russians on ice while we keep the Iranian on ice, everybody else around Armenia is pretty much the enemy anyways.

        Azar don't pollute the minds of our people you idiot. yes, there should be no friendship whatsoever. The only time when we can even consider such a things is when they pack up and leave for mongolia after paying huge sums of reparation for all the cancer that they have caused us you moron.

              Armenians have in common more with their Iranian "brothers" than any other nation.
              These are all valid points. Iranians I have met have been very friendly, welcoming people.

              Anyone who wants to be a brother, Iranian, Russian, Kurdish even Turkish or Tatar should be welcomed

                Thank you guys for your nice comments.

                To those who don't feel that we Iranians/Azari's are brothers to you, you should realize that this is the same problem with the regime in Israel, Palestinians and Jеws share common race and have cultural similarities but can't get over their differences.

                We need to embrace our similarities versus what makes us different, if you wish to be akin to principles of isolationism and extreme-nationalism for whatever reason whether it be lack of pride or plain stupidity just know that it will not help you one bit in our changing world.

                The world is changing, the Old World Order is coming to an end, the West is falling and the East will in the near future dominate once again, we need to face the reality and the reality is that Iran is the natural hegemon of the Near East, we must learn to deal with it and accept it as the true alternative whether it be secular in the future or stays an Islamic Republic to the materialistic ideals of the West. Armenians, Turks, Azaris, Kurds, Iranians and so forth must realize their ancient roots and similarities so that we may overcome our traditional enemies and prosper into a new age.

                The world is soon to change and Armenia will be part of its revival, alongside Iran. My Azari, Armenian and Iranian brothers will soon enough set course to the new Golden Age of prosperity in the Near-East.

                So forget any racial, religious or cultural barriers between us and accept our eternal brotherhood.

                  1) Iran's government is garbage, and having a such an oppressive theocracy is just a true tragedy for today's modern society. A people who've had a rich culture, ruin their image with the idiotic Islamic government.

                  2) Armenia is moving towards EU not backwards middle east. The government ever since independence as declared EU integration the top priority and the government is moving the country towards EU standards. You go to Yerevan the capital of Armenia, and the influence of the West and Europe is evident, in the stores, how people dress, and especially people's mindset which has become more Western, especially among the youth.
                  Also, the biggest economic partner of Armenia by far is EU.

                  3) If anything Iranians are stepping back. With their backwards government I don't think a "golden age" is ever coming soon to your country. For a change stop brutally executing women.

                  4) Most Armenians you've talked to are Iranian-Armenians, or Armenians who lived in Iran, of course they will feel closer to Iranians. In Armenia, Armenians don't feel like they are close to Iranians. I really don't know how many times I have to say this to you. We just view you as the Muslim people who are our neighbours to the south, that come as tourists and bring a lot of money. Nothing more nothing less. I say this as a fact.

                  Finally, read this my earlier post,

                  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.

                    you are mistaken in your last comment.

                    Iranian students at the YSU are usually well received by other students and staff.

                    You will find 'western' influences in every country around the world, including Iran. Actually many Iranian women are fashionably dressed, sometimes better than western women!

                    There are those in the EU wishing to move to North Africa (rich in oil and gas), and of course to Turkey. When did these regions become part of Europe? And Cyprus, a short distance from Lebanon and Syria has been considered the Middle East
