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.

            Armenian is freer than Iran in terms of economic opportunities, and many Iranians have actually put up shop in Armenia. Iran has actually had good ties with Armenia when its neighbors such as Turkey, Georgia, and Azerbeijan have not. However, I still do not like the prospect of Persians flooding into Armenia.

              Yeah, that's more like it. They spend a small amount of money (compared to what they would spend to visit Europe) and get to experience everything their country won't allow them to. I don't like the sound of it, but I guess they bring money in. Spending tourist dollars is good for the economy.

                  All in all, we are bending over backwards trying to appease the Iranians. A bit too much if you ask me. During Khomeini the Armenians in Iran suffered a lot, and now we're acting like that never happened. Maybe we need to. After all we've gotta have some friendlies around us. Iran is not really Persia, right? We think of Persia and we think centuries of related history, some good some bad. Well Iran is really the remnant of Safavids, which were turkic. They fought against the Ottomans, but they are a branch of turkic empire. So, we need to be more careful and discerning. They get along with us, cause they have major contentions with Turks. If tomorrow they fix the problems between each other, I'm not so sure Iranians will remain to be our friends.

                      Wrong. Iran is Persia. Usually persians call their country Iran rather than Persia but outsiders (Europeans, etc.) refer to is as Persia (not much anymore). Whatever history the Persian Empire had, is part of Iran's history. Just like the Armenian Empire is part of Armenia's history.

                      They're not a bunch of turkic people. Persians were Aryans. Only 24% of its population is of Azeri descent. And actually that's the main reason why they prefer Armenia over Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan can make land claims any day for the part of Iran bordered with Azerbaijan and full of Azeris. Two of the states from that part of Iran used to be called Eastern and Western Azerbaijan for ages. The names were changed about 10 years ago because of the threat.
