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 might sound brutal and hopefully less and less civilians die but it is better for us if the conflict goes on as long as it can so both sides exhaust themselves.

    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

        They should of just given the Kurds northern Iraq, or better yet, Turkey, Iran, and Syria should of just encouraged the 20 million Kurds between them to move to Iraq and then Iraq could of been Kurdistan.

        The thing is, just b/c a lot of Kurds live somewhere, doesn't make it "Kurdish Land" if a million Kurds move to Georgia, or Lebanon, they'd claim it as part of ancient Kurdistan too

          I completely disagree - if they are citizens within a state, they are just that and should be happy being citizens. Most nations wouldn't even give citizenship rights to historically nomadic people. They had poor historical leadership - their contemporary leadership is just as bad. The U.S. & Israel will use them as pawns and then abandon them - it's their own stupidity. Iran has existed for thousands of years within its own footprint - nobody is giving any part of Iran away to Kurdish goat herders without blood being spilled. This is reality.

            Agreed.

              The border between Iran and the Ottoman empire was only decided upon in 1914. And almost before the ink had dried on the maps......

                No need to cry about land claims until it is liberated; lets support those who are ready to fight to liberate it; don’t hamper their efforts.

                The land appropriation talks will take place later on; afterwards! Calm down please.

                  This thread just shows that Azar is anti-Armenian - probably an Azeri agent.

                      It may be true that borders have been adjusted - but the parts being referred to as "Kurdistan" were always within the heartland of Iran since antiquity. Show me where Kurdistan was on the map at any point in history? Goat droppings and vivid imaginations don't demarcate a border or prove the existence of a treaty. There are also 3 primary groups of Kurds (everyone always refers to them as "The Kurds" as if that has any meaning). The Shia Kurds living in Iran dislike the Sunni Kurds and are loyal Iranian citizens. A Sunni Kurd (from Turkey) will let you f*** his wife if you say Kurdistan exists from Russia to the Persian Gulf.

                      Any time you have a group of disparate nomadic people that go from country to country without ever having had any form of established government (regardless of how primitive it might be), there is little to base territorial rights on except as to whatever piece of land they happen to be standing on at any given moment. At present, the Sunni Kurds claim Western Armenia as Kurdistan - good luck with that because they don't acknowledge things like historical maps. The Sunni Kurds are a very rural people lacking serious education - and they spend a lot their time engaged in smuggling controlled substances. The Shia-Kurds, on the other hand, consider themselves Iranians and many are doctors and engineers. Their languages are not even mutually intelligible. The idea that these two groups would somehow merge, or want to merge, is far-fetched.

                      The U.S. and Israel will use the Sunni Kurds and abandon them. That's the sad reality; and part of the history they already have. (During the Iraq/Iran war - Iran actually protected them from being gassed by U.S. weapons.) The Sunni-Kurds are highly unpredictable - they're the ones the Young Turks manipulated into killing Armenians.

                      Also if anyone cares to look at a map, they will see that Iran basically has two big Kurdish cities on its Western border - one of which are the Shia-Kurds who are just regular Iranians. Those cities have a heavy chain of mountains demarcating the border (The Zagros Mtns). Disparate Kurdish groups wouldn't be able to make a Kurdistan there even if they had a modern army: What are they going to do: Hike over the mountains each time they want to go to the office? It's just silly, and leads to gullible nomads being manipulated by foreign powers and ultimately handled by the Iranian military.
