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.

      And expensive. It sold for $250 on ebay (which is where the pictures came from). I wonder if there were printed books in Kurdish at that time?

      And in which dialect of Kurdish is it printed in? Zaza, I think, is the one spoken in Dersim.

            Yes, I've heard that said, and that Zaza isn't really Kurdish at all but it is a separate language which contains a lot of Kurdish words. Zaza is also spoken in the Muş valley.

              Just search for "Armenian Bible". But it is sold now (the sale was over a month ago) actually there were two copies on sale within a month, the first one sold for over $250 I think. This one was $200

                The winning bid was someone from Turkey. An Armenian didnt even win this item.


                What do you think this Ottoman telegram says?
                http://cgi.ebay.com/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...tem=9512228106


                I bet its kind of order to soldiers to massacre some village.

                The Turk selling these things probably found them in Armenian houses and is selling them now to make mega profit. Sounds like a Turk thing to do.

                    ?

                    I know what the topic of the thread is. "Am I Armenian?"

                    Apparantly the person in question is not, but passes himself off as an Armenian (and gives us a bad name in the process), which is on the topic of the thread.

                    Personal attacks? My my, so touchy. I find the apauling behaviour of such people utterly disgusting and you seem to find it as something acceptable that shouldn't even be criticized.

                    He has even written: This was 2 years ago...and yes "average Turk" - be it in Turkey or elsewhere is a worthwhile person with dignity, honesty, integrity, heart and humanity. I have quite enjoyed most of my actual encounters with Turks (other the the internet) and have had a number of good friendships with Turks.

                    I wonder what would happen if someone wrote that the "average Nazi" is a worthwhile person with dignity, honesty, integrity, heart and humanity.

                      That's not necessarily bad - it proves that there is an interest in historical objects in Turkey. and that someone there is willing to pay quite a lot for it. At that price I think it was a bit overpriced. (Interestingly, the same buyer has been buying old Greek books as well.)

                      I doubt it!

                      It's in Italian - sent from Odessa in Russia to Pera in Constantinople via Varna in Romania. Addressed to the Italian Consulate.

                      Dated 1866.
