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.

    Today you cant see any relation.

    I heard of those immigrations happened like 3 something thousand years ago.
    THey say Oguz Khan was blond and blue eyed Khan.

    During the Mogolian attacks to TUrks and Arabs large amount of Mongols settled down to those places. After their empire collapsed they remained in those lands and literally melted into TUrkish society. Timur Khan is one of them his mom is of MOngolian origin who converted to Islam.
    This is why those Central Asian Turks look a lot different than us.

    But suprisingly Uygur language is among the closest to Anatolian(Oguz) Turkish. I have seen documentaries about rural life in Eastern Turkistan, they pretty much resemble Anatolian village life.

    By the way Fins and Turks almost identitical legends. The Turkish legend of Ergenekon has almost an identical counterpart in Finnish culture.

    The chinese policy is to get rid of UYgurs. They dont let them to have children more than one. And Eastern Turkistan is populated by Chinese immigrants. They say Eastern TUrkistan has rich Uranium mine.

    I've seen plenty of pictures of Uighurs (can't say I have met one in person) - and they all look pretty Turkic to me...but so do some finns eh?

    Yeah - the Al Queda connection seems like a stretch - though some of the Uighur groups were based in Afghanistan and again there are all sorts (not all Southeatern Kurds are PKK either...)...another way the Uighurs are reeally hurt is the one child policy in China - as Uighurs are mostly rural and are not collectivized - the one child policy makes it very difficult for their economic livelyhood. The Chinese are intentionally doing everything they can to make such a thing as a Uigher disapear...

      Could Kashgar be The Armenian Khachkar?

          Khachkar translated to English means "Stone Cross", which refer to Armenian statues of the holy cross made out of the construction material "doufkar". Khachkars can be found all over Anatolia, and are often found in ruins or in shoddy buildings which used the khatchars as bricks.

            For the sake of Turks and TR, They better start to agressively make peace with theyre past through their past and present minorities, if they really love their country.

            Instead they masochisticly try to argue and fight with the world in this issue and they are belittled every time .I don't know, it's kind of like a Kemal Sunal movie,The viewer doesnt know whether to laugh or to feel sorry.

              Gavur, just curious, is there any specific reason you have pasted the above quote on nearly every thread on this forum? I couldn't quite make out why.

                You are lucky I didn't make it my signature!
                Because I think it is well worth repeating.
