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.

  • Iranian Authorities Do Not Permit Armenians To Organize Procession To Turkish Embassy

    IRANIAN AUTHORITIES THIS YEAR ALSO DO NOT PERMIT ARMENIANS TO ORGANIZE PROCESSION TO TURKISH EMBASSY

    Noyan Tapan
    April 28, 2008

    TEHRAN, APRIL 28, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. A holy liturgy was
    served on April 24 in the Saint Sargis Church in the capital city of
    Iran, Tehran.

    At the end of the liturgy representatives of the local Armenian
    community laid flowers to the memorial of victims of Armenian Genocide
    of 1915 in the church yard.

    As the Zaman daily reports, this year, either, representatives of
    Iranian Armenian community were not permitted to organize a procession
    towards the Embassy of Turkey in Iran.

    It should be mentioned that on April 24, 2007 the Iranian Armenian
    community was not allowed to organize a procession, either.


    What if I find someone else when looking for you? My soul shivers as the idea invades my mind.

      My goal is to document and inform.
      Was it harmful? I don't think that it could have been harmful as - on the subject - Iran is not a "battlefield" of importance, and its stance is of no/little - geopolitical - significance. At this point, the relevant/active battlefields are: The US, the EU and, maybe, the Jewish community i.e. Israel/Diaspora.

          Thanks for the clarification, that's what I understood, the first time....and I meant that, no matter what it means, we should not care - or it doesn't matter, as Iran's stance on the subject is of little/no significance/relevance

            Quoted from some other thread but it seems quite appropriate here in regards to what the Armenians in Iran got from the officials.

              This is a skewed statement.

                That's why I qualified it with the explicit clarification that the quotes are from a different thread. But Armenian's posted picture fits here beautifully, in my opinion of course

                  Typical Turkish disinformation.

                  About 20 years ago or so, the Turkish պէտքարան was in downtown Tehran, not so far from Naderi Avenue where in one of its streets the Sourb Astvatzatzin church is located, a quarter where until some 30 or 40 years ago many Armenians lived. So every now and then it happened that we also headed towards the Turkish պէտքարան as well in those days.

                  While the procession was permitted once every couple of years or so after the revolution, this time because of Ahmadinejad's bigotry it was not allowed for the second consecutive year. Usually the procession starts from Sourb Sarkiss church (Tehran prelacy) and heads down to Sourb Astvatzatzin, downtown.

                  For some years we used to walk from Sourb Sarkiss upwards to the UN toilet, north to and not so far from the prelacy, but the traditional procession to Sourb Astvatzatzin has been revived the last couple of times processions were allowed.

                  Since many years the Turkish պէտքարան has been relocated to a different location to the north in Shemiranat, over 10 kilometers or more north to Sourb Sarkiss. There's no way anybody could walk that far upwards, given that Tehran is a hill like city and given there's no straight way to that toilet.

                  Yet another Turkish lie and fabrication.

                    An Iranian official acknowledged the Armenian genocide on Iran's behalf this year. http://www.panarmenian.net/news/eng/?nid=25860

                    Here are photos from this year's protest of the genocide in Iran. http://www.photoblog.com/zohrepix/20...cide-----.html
