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.

    Re: Armenian Race and Cultural Background

    True, but there is a number of Turks that recognize the Armenian Genocide, so Armen isn't completely wrong...
    I'm not talking about the general populace, I'm talking about the government. A few Turks recognising the genocide without the support of the government still amounts to injustice.

        i do not agree with you that intermarriage with Turks is bad because they are just people and some of their ancestors even helped the Armenians during the genocide by sheltering them from the massacres. saying that Turks are bad people just because their ancestors killed ours mercilessly is wrong because they are not the ones who committed the atrocities. but i am still very angry at them. Turks are quiet and complacent people. If the Turkish government tells them that the genocide never happened they will agree even if individually they do not. if they agree that the genocide never occurred than it's like they are saying that it's ok that their country tortured our families and destroyed our nation. on the other hand, if they agree that there was a genocide and do not stand up for themselves and their views then it's like they are agreeing with the Turkish government and saying that it's ok that the genocide occurred to begin with or that they just do not care. The problem is that the Turkish government is super repressive and most people are afraid to stand up for themselves and their views but they have to realize that the Turkish government cannot jail or kill tons of its people because it will look bad in the eyes of the Europeans (and turkey really wants to join the EU [European Union]). So if the Turks that agree that the genocide did occur want to state their opinion they should do it now because it is the perfect time to do so. and if they do not say anything then they agree that there was no genocide and that the wholesale slaughter of our families is ok.

          I hate how the Turkish government is so selfish, that they don't admit the genocide because they wanna join the EU! If Turkey joins the EU, I'm gonna get really pissed off! An idiotic country like Turkey doesn't deserve to join Europe!

            what are you talking about? The europeans will not allow Turkey into the EU because Turkey will not admit that it committed the genocide and the europeans are preasuring them. America supports Turkey because they are good business and diplomatic partners so the US suppress armenian issues (which is bad because america plays a big role in this) but the US wants the Turks to join the EU so that the american greenback dollars value rises above that of the euro (which is how it was before europe became so prosperous).

                I see that we have a (not so bright) *urkish impostor - i.e. icoN - with a clear agenda.
                As skhara have suggested, most of the *urks have assimilated Armenians and others; but, any Armenian mixing with a *urk was expelled from the community.

                P.S. By the way, of course, there is some Spanish blood and influence in Philippines; but, Filipinos do not consider themselves of Spanish descent.

                Note: I have chosen to auto censor the words "*urk," "*urkish" or *urkic" because it is commonly perceived as unpleasant and offending, evokes unpleasant emotions and imagery and is pregnant with immoral and evil connotations
                What if I find someone else when looking for you? My soul shivers as the idea invades my mind.

                  I agree. We've had many other *urkish visitors, pretending to be Armenians.

                      Under article 301, you could be jailed for just bringing it up
                      Can you give me one single name who was jailed because he said that he recognized armenian genocide.
