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.

    Right. Okay, now I know where your stock is from. No more needs to be said.

      However, as much as we would hate to admit it, Armenians share blame as well, for being pacified to the point of no return, for scattering all over across Turkey even beyond what was historically Western Armenia, betraying one another as usual, and being softened by some aspects of Christianity. You must understand that Islam and Christianity teach very different things.
      It's called "a house divided against itself cannot stand." It has nothing to do with Christianity, since this is a quote from the Bible.

        The Bible (as well as MAAAANNNY other 'Sacred or Holy Books/Words') have good ideas included in the text (and, IMHO, some BS, as well.) Sometimes people understand ideas too literally, too.

          Yes it does because that will determine who is to pay for the reperations.
          What reparations? What are you expecting? Would this go to the survivors (who are dying out themselves ) or the country of Armenia? Would this go to the survivor's relatives? What can we expect here should the Turkish government ever collectively say, "Yeah, it happened, we did that"?

            I take it you haven't read much of what Jesus preaches and compared that to what Mohammed preaches. This isn't about merely Christianity. Do not misquote me. It is an amalgamation of forces and at this point the blame game is useless. And who might this old acquaintance be?

              Reperations dont have to be in the form of money. It should be our historic lands, and the necessary money needed to re-populate those lands with Armenians.

                So, at the VERY least, Ararat. Yeah, I can see that. That would be nice.

                  Turks become pissed when we simply display Mount Ararat as our symbols (coat of arms, etc.). I don't expect they will hand it over.

                  If I don't expect our mountain to be returned to us, I doubt they will redraw the borders. I've heard they don't even allow visitors to the region, depending on who you are.

                  When they accept the genocide, they will make a statement that our past government (not the current one) killed and deported Armenians, and the current government recognizes the former governments actions.

                    Thank God no. But it wasn't about that. I'm not disagreeing with you.

                    And who might this old acquaintance be?
                    I should think that with your promotion to moderator you would be able to trace me back.

                      I'm not sure if I'm expecting anything from Turkey, so there might come the time when Armenians need to take what's rightfully theirs. What Armenians are rightfully entitled to is historically Armenian land (everything north of and including Van and everything East of and including Mush) and money: basically all that was stolen except human lives (that cannot be returned). Having said that, realistically we ourselves are not yet and will not be for some time organized enough to react effectively to such changes. Naturally, specific policies and innovative development projects would have to be undertaken. Major funds would have to be allocated to jumpstart agriculture and some sort of commerce and industry in those regions, perhaps using huge agricultural and industrial grants to motivate Armenian immigrations into these lands.

                      As to the main question, I don't know about you, but I usually like to keep the feelings of my friends unhurt. At the same time, friendship cannot thrive on secrets and gaps of communication. I and, I assume, majority of Armenians have nothing but a string of cusswords to express about Turkey and Turkish nation (including culture, history, etc). If it's not downright hatred of aspects of Turkish identity, then it's disrepect. That means I would have to hold my tounge about something that I feel very strongly about. All my non-Armenian friends know very well my disgust at Turkey to the point that they make a joke every time we encounter Turks or Turkey. The relationship would be stale and full of deciete and bullxxxx.

                      That doesn't mean that an Armenian mustn't act civilly with a Turk. Of course not. We're not children nor barbarians. I neither see any issues with treating a well-meaning and educated Turk with respect. But friendship I cannot envision.
