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.

    But in the end we won, so it goes to prove that the Turks have no expertise at offence even when they outnumber the enemy and it also proves that Armenians do indeed have an expertise in defence, particulatly since we were outnumbered. Therefore we are better fighters and warriors than the turks who only win when there are countless blunders made by the other side, or if they're fighting unarmed civillians.

    Anyway, it reminds me of a stament made by Vafa Guluzade that always makes me laugh.

    "But tell me, how can 100,000 Armenians isolated in the Caucasus mountains with no access to industry or weapons-with nothing in their hands-how can they defeat 7 million Azerbaijanis militarily?"

      I didnt quite follow this particular discussion but I wanted to say that
      in Malazgirt battle(1071) 1/3 of the Seljuki Turkish army actually was Armenian.

      My point about the Turks defeating Greeks and Armenians at Manzikert was not about the numbers of soldiers Romanus Diogenes had with him, I should have made it clearer before, my point was the quality of the soldiers on the Byzantine side.

      Romanus had some of the best the empire had to offer with him, and his army was one that Caeser would have been able to command with only a few adjustments in thinking. Byzantine Infantry where a fearsome force, and one that no commander, especially a commander of lightly armed Turkish Cavalry and Infantry wanted to fight out in the open. Although Alp Arslan had the numerical advantage many Turkish Lords before him had attacked smaller numbers of well trained Byzantine Infantry, and elite Kataphractii and recieved humiliating defeats, I agree with you though that had it not been for Andronicus the battle may well have had a different outcome, but despite that it was still a great accomplishment.

      Gallipoli as you said was won because of countless British Mistakes, and the Turks still lost most of the other defensive battles of the first world war (Tel Aviv still has an Alenby Street making the Turks defeat their eternally remembered), and Sardarapat was an Armenian Defensive War as well as a Turkish Offensive War, and the same thing goes for the NK it was Armenian Expertise at defense vs Turkish Expertise at Offense.

        I think I read somewhere in Turkish history book that Armenian army was fightinhg against the Byzantians who had overwelming force and Alparslan decided he would help the sibe weaker in numbers,Dont know if this is true.
        "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)

            Yea I'm so sure!

            Following the disasterous Byzantine defeat at Manzikert in 1071 AD, the Seljuks overran the Armenian Kingdom of Ani, killing King Kakig II, causing contingents of Armenian nobility lead by Prince Rouben to seek refuge in Cilicia.

            I guess Armenians were all too happy to help the turks do that.

                THose times the wars are not ethnically motivated, on the contorary of the belief by Armenians that Turks and Armenians always were enemies each other.

                  Some Armenian Mercenaries may have fought for the Turks, but most Armenians in what I read fought on the Byzantine side.

                  Gavur and Sadarapat the two of you should remember that the had Alp Arslan used Armenian Tactics he would have lost the battle very quickly, what truly enaled Alp Arslan to defeat Romanus Diogenes was a combination of Alp Arslan's brains, and the disloyalty of the Emperors senior officers.

                    I really like your "whose got a bigger xxxx" approach and attitude towards your own nation. Thank god you are not the only Armenian on this planet.

                      I find it incomprehensible that these turks are allowed to post this disgusting filth here.
