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.

    Thats rich!

    Their going to steal our lands and then sell 'em back to us - right...

    And I don't know too many Armenians who'd want to have anything to do with Turkey until they address their past...

    As for posting the site - thanks but no thanks

        I dont think Turkey should let all Armenians buy land in east. What if all the diaspora buys lots of lands. land is cheap. millions of Armenians can move to Turkey. can Turkey afford this immigration?

        i think Turkey should pay compensation and then if Armenians want lands then they can buy it.

          When these insurance claims are settled, we won't need to buy back any of the land we have deeds and legal documents for. And considering the lands which Armenians have been on have mostly been thrown to the Kurds, an Armenian has virtually nothing to gain from returning.

              Deeds are usually in the form of pieces of paper and fit conviently in pockets.

                  Turkey has no say in the court case. If the claim is settled in favor of the Armenians then a German bank (Deutsche bank) will have to monetarily reimburse those that have deeds and legal documents that date back to 1915. It's Turkey's decision whether to refuse access to those with the deeds, but the money aspect of it comes from the bank.

                    A Kurdish civil war seems highly unlikely. TurQ posted this a while ago:

                    Originally posted by TurQ
                    Terkey had sensitive approach to this area in past. After the Seyh Said revolt and the British support to this revolt shaped the Turkish state policy for Kurds. But this is past we cant always be in 1925. There is no danger for seperatism which is supported by KUrds. Even the very staunch Kurdish nationalists do not believe an independent Kurdish state in Turkey. They are just being reactionary.

                    At this point who is right or wrong is not important, the important thing is to have stabilty in the region. Majority of the Kurds in Turkey pretty much aware whats going on in middleast they are not blind for independence, and they dont have any desire to do so.

                    As far as repression thats an other issue. It is not etnical. If it were we wouldnt have Kurds in our parliment, and they are 30% of our parliment. If Turkey wants to be a strong player in Mid east it has to have strong relations with Kurds. Kurds see Turkey as big brother, Kurds can only unite under Turkey, they cant get along with each other(The 16th century Kurdish scholar Idris-i Bitlisi puts it very well). By rationale politics and strategy we can be the significant player in mideast by Kurds and a significant player in balkans by Albanians.

                    The Kurdish issue is not that simple to understand. For example let me give you one name "Faik Bulut". He is Kurdish, he is a communist anarshist and fevrent supporter of PKK. But this guy also have close relations with some certain leftist inclined pro-coupist generals(like Kemal Yavuz). He was portrayed as *Patriot* eventhough he had been sentenced by state because of his PKK links. s you see in reality this is not purely ethnical, there is something different going on there. Kurds and Turks have no problem in terms of their ethnicity.
                    On that note, I agree and have always said that the challenge in getting our land back is having to deal with the Kurds.
