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.

    Yes of course arshaluys. Read Dadrian's book and I have seen pictures and literature that proves this statement. German generals had a good part in giving directions to the Ottoman turks how to go about massacring all the Christian minorities in Turkey prior to the 1915 Armenian Genocide.

              You know, I've been meaning to start a thread about this many times, but kept forgetting. I've always wondered why we haven't gone after Germany harder for their part in all this.

              Sure you can, but not to the extent that the Ottomans were. Besides, Germany recognizes the Armenian Genocide and officially apologized for their involvement in the Genocide.
              They did? When and where was this? I've never seen them listed anywhere as one of the countries that recognizes the genocide. If they ever did, that would pretty much finish off Turkey's case, as they were co-conspirators. In other words, an admission of guilt by Germany would also basically mean they're ratting out the Turks that they helped/led in this crime.

              How can you say the Germans aren't as guilty as the Ottomans, Tenacious? Not only did they KNOW a genocide was going on, but they were the ones that helped lead and organize/plan it! And all so that the Ottomans would build a continuation of the "Silk Road" straight up to Germany. I'd say that makes them just as bad as the Ottomans.

                For one thing, we Armenians are pro-German. We are kind of similar as far as aiming for perfection and we also admire their discipline and great culture.

                Plus, it's due to our delusion that the so-called Christian countries should for some unknown reason support us like the Muslim peoples back each other, regardless. Take Pakistan's pro-"Azeri" and anti-Armenian stance despite the justice of the Artsakh people's cause.

                On the other hand, our delusion that we consider ourselves Europeans, more precisely indo-Europeans has also influenced our pro-European bias.

                Oh, the German involvement: an Iranian Armenian Artem Ohandjanian who lives in Austria has compiled a monumental 12 volume work, exclusively digging the Austro-Hungarian archives which show beyond doubt how much the Germans were accomplices in the AG and how much the Austro-Hungarian Empire stood by and did nothing either.

                  I doubt not the germans had responsibility in the matter, but Id rather concentrate on the turks, after all its the turks that are holding the land of our fathers, not the Germans, and after all my fellow Armenians, isnt our homeland what we want back the most?
