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.

    Good sentence.Is it logical to think All young turks were Jews.I think Young Turks were responsible for it only.

        He is incorrectly assuming that phantom is the same as a phantom in another forum who once used "Hagarag" as in monker.

        BTW - shame on anyone who would consider that the Armenian Genocide was "necessary" for anything - and/or from anyones (rational/human) perspective) - great shame on anyone who would or even could hold such a view.

          First of all thank you! It seems that you meant me!

          Anyways, Young Turks (CUP) wanted to create a homogenity in Anatolia... They managed to creat that "Pathological Homogenity" through the systemical, deliberate extermination of the indigenous Armenian population of Anatolia...
          So please don't make my words look like that I am supporting that twisted, hideous, devlish and pathological plan to annihilate my own family an nation.. I don't think that any one can suspect my stance around here!

          If you ask me, I'll tell you that I only voted YES because I know for a fact that CUP guys were fully aware of what they are doing, and it wasn't an accident or something they did but didn't mean to do.

            For the Turkish government, and the Ittihad ve Terraki party, the total extermination of the Armenians was necessary...
            The poll question asks if you think it was necessary - you have answered "yes" and followed with this statement. I am not questioning your overall views concerning the Armenian Genocide - however anyone who says that "yes" the Armenian Genocide was "necessary" is in effect justifying such a thing. Even if you caveat such a statement - you are clearly saying that the viewpoint (and actions) of the CUP was/were legitimate on a certain level. My argument is that to say such a thing is both untrue and a great diservice.

              This proves that the poll question is too ambiguous.

                most any poll with 2 possibilities for an answer is likely deficient. When one asks if something is "necessary" they are opening up the discussion/consideration to quite a few variables. Perhaps one might consider the elimination of all humans on the planet to be "neceassary" for the survival of snails...all depends on your perspective and such...

                  The Donemah Jews had a role in the Genocide... But, that does not mean releasing the Turks from the responsibility of the Genocide.
                  The Jews and even the Germans had a role in the planning of the Armenian Genocide, yet the fact remains that the Turks were the ones who put it's scheme and carried it out..
                  I'll reply to you instead, because I don't really have much patience for stupidities.

                  No matter how much the turks would try to blame the whole genocide on the jews, they still played their part in it and are just as guilty. It wasn't only dunme jews as there were jews from all over the world involved, including the US. Germany also played a part in it and they must also assume responsibility.

                  To put it all in a simple way. One guy (the jew) gets the idea to get rid of someone and makes a plan. Another guy (a German) supplies the gun to be used in the killing and trains the killer on how to use the gun. A third person (a turk) is convinced that it's a good thing and carries out the killing. Now tell me how in the world the turk will deflect the blame from himself when it's found out that the jew planned it.

                  Anyway, I want the turks to pay for what they did, but I also want the Germans and the jews to pay for what they did. Otherwise, if we hang everything on the turks, Germany and the jews will get away with committing a major crime on our people and I won't accept that. But for some reason, certain people are hung up on and obsessed with the turks, so much that they are willing to ovelook anything and everything else. I don't talk much about the turks because it has all been said a million times and I'm not into kicking a dead horse just to hear the same old worn out and tired, "It was relocation, it was a civil war, it was a rebelion, it was treason, it was war time casualties, it was from sickness and disease, there were never any Armenians in Turkey, the Armenians decided to leave, many turks died too, etc etc etc". I talk about the jew involvement in the Armenian Genocide because no one else does. Well, no one else did untill I started to.

                  BTW, I also accuse the jews with complicity after the fact, which is a legal term. When someone tries to aid the person who commited the crime in covering it up. It's called complicity after the fact and that is EXACTLY what the jews are doing. Herzel started doing this in 1895 and the jews are still doing it to this very day and you know they are.

                    I agree with you, maybe a little explination to the poll question next time will help.

                    If you were not, then you should've considered a nicer approach, saying maybe something like "Maral, you did not understand what the question was about" or something like that ... instead of saying

                      You initially chose to think that I was aiming my comments at you when I never named names but poised my comment in a generic sense. Regardless -at least my comment has perhaps gotten you and others to think a bit about this issue. Of course the question itself was flawed/incomplete - but in any event I cannot see any sane/thinking/feeling/person ever answering yes to such a proposition. Your answer seems to have been one of misinterpretation of the question or wanting to make some point beyond it that was not realy properly related to it.
