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.

    That means that the 2 supreme peoples in Turkey are Turks and Kurds, if we apply your logica. This is currently the same as in Iraq.
    What I meant is that Kurds can be granted some kind of autonomy or that they will be a minority people. This just means they are not the majority people.

    Why Turkey has to treat their citizen differently? Do Americans stamp their indians, irish, scotish citizens as 1st or second clas citizens. None of these people boms their home land, Indinans doe not aks for half of Newada.......These are for small timers and thinkers like the Armenians and Kurds. Good LUck to them. I see only one place that thew will get what they want...in hell.

        You know I am not the autority, if I were dukkan senin but unfortuenly I am not.

        The problem is to improve democracy. I dont think we should only focus on Kurdish rights, but we need a general balanced approach to rights in general.
        We cant solve the problem just only looking at Kurdish rights or Laz rights or women's rights etc. I mean if you have a heart problem, you cant totally relieved by fixing your blood sugar only. A general rehabilitation is needed.

        By calling Kurds as minority I believe their status is drawn bacwards not improved. And rights on paper dont mean much, I believe concordance in society is much more important, and I dont think this'll be achieved by officially calling Kurds as minority.

        About the mother tongue issue, my personal opinion is that Kurdish and Laz languages could've been taught to everyone in Turkey. We learn lots of languages, French English etc, even Greek in universities, why not Kurdish or LAzish or Bosnian?

        Also I think Armenian langauge and culture should also be taught in Universities. You see there are lots of Armenians who are pretty much fluent in Ottoman language(as scholars), we also need scholars who have in dept knowledge of Armenian and Armenian culture in order to research in Armenian archives and Armenian documents, which I believe is of grave importance. YOu probably know of Yektan Yilmaz and what happened to him while he was detained for no reason(actually to threaten about his thesis topic) in Yerevan last summer. He learned Armenian by his own effort, but thats not enough. We have to conduct our own research and see if they match with what they say, we cant just simply accept their archival research as it is right?
        T

        Anyways in conclusion if an average Turkish citizen could've udnerstood Kurdish the world wouldnt explode, and Turkish society will become stronger not weaker and also on the contrary PKK and other terrorists and anti-Turkish groups in Europe and elsewhere will have hard time to feed their propoganda machine.

        By saying you are not minority,you shouldn't prevent our human rights.

        • And I am sure you observe how the rights were improved in last 15 years, so in time things will be solved.

            I agree Turq. Further level in democracy and cultural rights are the issues that we all have to focus. Thus, reforming our educational institutions for learning Kurdish, Laz, Bosnian, Albanian, Armenian, Circassian (and others desired) as the community languages are important. In that regard, I also wonder why those British, French and Americans have their high schools and universities in Turkey when the Kurds and others could not, this is simply not logical.

            • Exactly!
              Thats what I wonder!

              but what i desire is litle bit further, I think average Turk should also at least have some familiarity with Kurdish, lazish or bosnian, not only the Kurds learn their own language

                I agree, I would have preferred to learn Kurkish instead of French of Italian. Laz or Armenian could have been my second choice though.

                    Well, my friend, I dont follow the principles of a particular religion, but I respect all of them since I respect people's beliefs.

                    I am interested in Armenian, Kurdish and other community languages of Anatolia, and I wish that we had a chance to learn at least one of them when we were kids at the secondary schools.

                    • Your lucky an Armenian revised Turkish which makes it easyer to learn all the latin languages and a huge part of that language was comprised of Arabic and persian words but i heard unfortunitaly they cleared lots of those words which is a shame.
