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.

      Germany is Christian country . you prove my point. Thanks for you.
      As far as I'm concerned, Lebanon is 50-50 and recognizes the genocide. In Syria, presidents have had no problem calling it such, an official recognition was blocked by Turkey with cheap tricks, the same goes with the proposition that was to be voted in Iran, which was supported and was to pass had Turkey not played its dirty tricks during the so-called Islamic-conferences.

      If you read Persian, you shall read the Persian Wikipedia Armenian genocide entry and compare it with the Holocaust one, and let see which is disagreed and reverted.

      There are among said Islamic nations less disagreements regarding the Armenian genocide than the Holocaust. In Syria, you can hardly find anyone not knowing what weant in the city of Zor and its vassinities, you can still find erderlies who have witnessed Armenians thrown to the ground in hiles digged and to then set afire.

      In Egypt, in April 24, many officials commemorate the genocide.

      Which Muslim country does the same for the Shoah?

      I haven't even discussed about Lebanon.

      If you were to poll the world about those who doubt a genocide happened, the Holocaust is more doubted when considering that a large portion of muslims believe it to be a myth, while beside Turks, muslims do not majoritarly deny the Armenian genocide.

      • As for Muslim witnesses, I'd consider the Sharif of Mecca dissotiation with the Ottoman Empire in the decision taken against the Armenians, and the order from the Mecca issued to protect the Armenians from being butchered like animals, the highest instances of "Islamic" evidence. The Mecca was aware of it, and condemned what was done against the Armenians.

        There are many Turks, the Commander of the Ottoman third army, Vehib, wrote in his 12 pages afidavit how Armenians were destroyed, and he claimed that it was a program of destruction. Refik from the Ottoman War departement, wrote that there was a plan of destruction. He later became a history professor in Turkey, and because of his continual recognition of what happened to the Armenians, Ataturk got involved and kicked him out of his job, the guy died sick, and could not even pay for his food. There are many others, some from the special organization. Halil, the Uncle of the minister of war, Enver, writes in his memoirs having tried to exterminate the Armenians to the last individual.

        Those are few examples of non-Christian evidences, not to mention, Emin, who was charged to have as task to deny, in his 1930 had to admit to not get his work discredited, that for some in the government, the decision taken against the Armenians meant their destruction.

        Oh yeh, also, not to mention the slightly over 40 investigators during the Mazhar commission which was to give birth to the Martial court, had bunch of admissions, documents and records. They were all "Muslim."

        Do I have to continue? If this doesn't satisfy you, perhaps, do you want few other dozens?

          also is Armenian Genocide recognised by non-Christian countries?
          OK - against my better judgement - but just to prove a point - you know jack - so shut TF up!

          American Ambasador (to the Ottoman Empire) Morganthau - who was JEWISH! - was a cheif witness to the Armenian Genocide:



          Recetnly Isreali Cheif Rabbi has recognized the authenticity of the Armenian Genocide (see other posts on this site confirming this) - and he was not the first - in 2000 the Israeli Minister of Education affirmed the Armenain Genocide

          A number of Jewsih authors have written about (and confirmed) the Armenian Genocide including Yuri Auron, Robert Melson etc

          Several Turkish scholars have confiremd the Genocide - most notably Taner Ackan..also Halay Berktay - and in fact Ataturk himself confirmed the CUP as killers of "over one million of the Empires Christian subjects"...sounds like ocnfirmation to me - big time...and of course I have mentioned that a number of auto-biographies of ex CUP memebers written after this time confirm their roles in the killings...and we can't forget that recent conference in Istanbul affirming the Genocide - attended entirely by Turks - etc

          Oh and BTW - the previous and current Presidents of Iran have confirmed the Armenian Genocide as have a number of Muslim religeous authorities:

          Iran
          September 09,2004:The president of Islamic Republic of Iran Seyed Mohammad Khatami visited the Memorial Complex Tsitsernakaberd in Yerevan and laid a wreath on the Memorial for the Victims of the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey in 1915.

                *No they did not, the fought for their freedom.

                • I was reffering to Halils memoirs not Envers. Sonferdine kadaryok etmeye gahstigim Ermeni milleti Those were his words, from Halil Pasa. Ittihad ve Terakki'den Cumhuriyet'e: Bitmeyen Savas. M.Ò. Sorgun, ed. Istanbul, 1972, p. 241

                  As for Huseyin, this might have some importance, had his messages been limited to reports of attrocities, but he was actually making an announcement to the Muslims to protect Armenians from crimes, I fail to see how such an announcement could have been British motivated lies.

                  As for those that have reported and never been kicked out from their jobs. This is a poor understanding of the system I believe. Vehib as the commander of the official Third army, was not ordered to kill Armenians, what he might have believed or done could not have changed anything. You just don't change the commander of the Eastern army which was facing the Russian army, more so, when the commander has proved himself worthy after returning from the front(since it was only then that he trialed them). On the other hand, the officials who had as task to control the Armenian evacuation and instigate massacres were kicked out and even killed when they were not following orders. Mind here that Djevet was placed on Van, replacing the previous governor.

                  As for Said Halim, he was indeed a high graded official, he was the foreign minister and the Grand Vizier, but first, he wasn't opposing to the massacres, he was just admitting it. He only opposed it in Febuary 1917, when there was pratically no Armenians left on the East. When he opposed them, saying how orders for deportations were transformed into orders to kill the deportees, Talaat relieved him from his job, and replaced him.

                  As for genocide applying to CUP and not Ottoman..., yes and no. I'd term this as a genocide perpetrated by Ittihadist Ottoman.

                  BTW Turanist, go get yourself ubducted by an alien.

                  Can you give the name of the book that has the memoirs of Enver?. I would like to read the exact words. Talat pasha, in his memoirs, says that this whole deportation/exile was a failure and a big mistake.

                  The Sherif of Mecca, Huseyin was a British collaborator later confessed that he had done a great mistake by siding with the Brits(he was later prisoned by Brits in Cyprus). Obivously what he said or thought was definetly shaped by the Brits. Lawarence convinced the Arab rebels that Turks were infedels and Arabs should revolt against them. AS I said before I am not into wording of those events, but what the Sharif of Mecca says is pretty much irrelevant. He's being a Sharif, decendant of Prophet Mohammed(Pbuh) does not make his words true, or his actions towards Turks were justifiable. His actions were low, coming from a Holy city does not make him High.


                  As far as I know Vehib Pasha was the commander of the 3rd Army(Which is same today the army of the eastern region). Said Halim Pasha was a high ranking commander(correct me if I am wrong, he was the general staff) also had similar views with Vehib Pasha. You guys refer to those names I dont and these names are the highest possible ranks in the army involving the Armenain issue in those times. They had never been fired or kicked out of their ranks. Eventhough we accept 100% what Armenians say, the word genocide is not suitable for the Ottoman State but for CUP.(Vehip even executed officers/soldiers who were responsible for the deaths of Armenians, this is also told by Armenian resources, and he executed when these things happened in 1915/16, I am not talking about the executions in 1918/19). One other detail Said Halim Pasha was assasinated by Armenians.

                  Once again I am not into wording of these events.

                  • Again...excuses excuses...."what - all human witnesses - humans are overcome with jealosy and can never be trusted!"

                    BTW - Talat Pasha's memoirs are a joke. He was scared for his life as the death sentance (from the Ottoman courts) had been passed...he was trying to justify his actions - hoping to not go down in history as such a great butcher - but we know otherwise form quotes provided by Von Wagnereim and Morgentau - Talat was proud of his role as the butcher and wished for nothing more then the complete elimination of the Armenians...Enver wished for such as well...
