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.

    Short term solutions

    In the short term:
    Turkey should lift blockade and can and should initiate negotiation about reperations without accepting AG. Without accepting AG, Turkey can still pay reperations. Why? Because Armenians were citizens of the Ottoman Empire and Ottoman Empire was responsible of their life. AG recognition and reperations are two separate subjects and should be evaluated separately. This is my opinion. Turkey can also apologize for the Armenians whom it couldnot save their life. An offial apology would be smart.However, dont expect AG recognition and land offer, it seems impossible both in the short run and in the long run.

      I do not consider recognition from turkey an important thing. When it comes to recognition, universal recognition among the civilized countries of the world will suffice.

      So....in regards to Western Armenia and the Treaty of Sevres, give Armenians Western Armenia and total and complete independence, then let the politicians negotiate the reparations.

      There probably would have been 70 million Armenians today had it not been for the genocide. If you look at the tremendous inventions and contributions the small population of Armenians has already contributed to the world, you get a small idea of just what turkey has robbed from the Armenian people and all of human civilization. There should be a large bulk sum paid to the new Armenian Republic and then something to Armenians who lost family, which is just about everyone.

          If Turkey pays USD 3.000.00 to every Armenian in the world (ofcourse to those who can prove that their grand parents were murdered in 1915), can something change? Anger of the Armenians does it decrease? I dont think so..
          You'll be surprised to see how just an official recognition would change the tension between the two nations - at least the one from our side.

          I would also like to point out that we've talked about this amongst friends, and I don't have one single friend who hates Turks. The majority believe it's the government's responsibility to recognize it, and the people have nothing to do with it. Actually one of my friends was telling me how he went to a friends' family gathering and there was a Turkish couple there and he said he was scared to tell them he was Armenian. So you see, there is just as much hate from your side- or at least that's what many Armenians feel. And it's interesting, cause it's like Germans hating Jews.

            No similarity whatsoever. It is entirely different. You are referring to a case that has been settled for all practical purposes, at least for the time being.

              It doesn’t' matter whether or not the issue has been settled, when you look back in history, the similarity is in the fact that the Germans were responsible for the Jewish Holocaust. And Turks for the Armenian. It's like the guilty party hating on the victim's party. I never thought that would need an explanation-but you probably still won't see it.

                Turks dont hate

                Turks dont hate Armenians, they rather are afraid of.It may seem unbelievable but true. None of my friends can register for this forum because they think that if they do that Armenians will find them and kill them. ASALA gave so much damage to the Armenians image that when one says `Armenian` the first thing that comes to mind is ASALA. I am sorry but it will take many years to forget about ASALA.

                  okay, no offense - but don't blame us for your friends' retardation.

                  and the fact that you are so certain that Turks don't hate Armenians but Armenians hate Turks shows how one sided your views are.

                    Yet another taboo / myth in Turkey?

                    Didn't Abdul Hamid have such a paranoia?
