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.

    Well guess what, it will continue to haunt you and at the end, you'll realize that recognizing the genocide will actually benefit you. Were you expecting it to keep you out of the EU? An you know, being an EU member will boost your currency value and thus your economy! Not to mention, the social living conditions for your people. So there... but I guess it takes a "human" to take the "humane" step! And your government is far from it.
    Thanks for your compliment about honesty..
    Does Armenian genocide really stand between EU and Turkey? Or is it a stick to poke Turkish goverment from time to time? Why does especially France pushes it too strongly? Deep love for Armenians, I doubt it. To hide something of its past by blaming a country as the father of genocide issue? Yes that sounds more familiar now doesnt it? Ask them about Morocco, Ask them about Africans, they immediatly go silent. After the threat of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan regarding that Turkey will began to recognize European countries genocide claims, they pretty much went silent.
    As to being a humane state, there is not such a concept in the world.

      "Things the World Knew that Turkey did not Know."

      A conference on Armenians, which was postponed due to sharp reactions in the media and the government, has been rescheduled for September 23-25 at Bosphorus University. The preparation committee for the conference has decided to limit its comments on the conference to strictly official ones. Likewise, the Rector of Bosphorus University, Doctor Ayse Soysal, has said she does not want to say anything in advance of the late September date.

      "Ottoman Era Armenians During the Collapse of the Empire"

      The conference, entitled "Ottoman Era Armenians During the Collapse of the Empire: Intellectual Responsibility and Democratic Problems," was originally supposed to run between May 25-27.

      The participants in the Armenian conference will include professors from Bosphorus and Sabanci Universities, as well as Turkish academics who work at universities from prestigious universities from around the world.

      Lasting two days, with 12 sessions, and featuring the participation of 38 academics, the conference will have panels like "Deportation and Massacre," "Disaster and Rescue Stories," "Memories and Witnessnes," "Things the World Knew that Turkey did not Know."
      "All truth passes through three stages:
      First, it is ridiculed;
      Second, it is violently opposed; and
      Third, it is accepted as self-evident."

      Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)

        So how long will Turkey bend over only to be "poked" with the "stick" before they do something about it?

          If you read the following sentence in my last post, you will see what is done about it.

            Personally, I don't want any reconciliation with turkey. I don't want turkey to recognize the genocide and I don't want them to apologize either. I'm glad to see that so far the reverse psychology has been working very well and the more we push for turkey's recognition, the more they refuse and that works just fine for me.

              I have noticed something that Armenians who live outside of Armenia, they are more hostile of Turkey then the others. So why? Can anyone reply?

                Those Armenians outside Armenia are particularly the ones who are survivors of the Turkish Governments Armenian Genocide, and perhaps equally important, the Turkish Governments 90 year-long campaign of denial. This is what fuels our commitment to justice.

                      what type of an insult and mockery is this? I demand that the moderators delete out that very offensive Turkish flag of "cosmos" which is soaked in the blood of our ancestors.
