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.

    Turkey actually played the risky game, it is a historical fact. We won the game but we also paid the price in form of dark understanding of a hybrid Turkish nationalism and Islamicly justified violence parameter of our nationalism. Though looking at the empire's situation at those times, I can not expect another course of action..
    Thanks for your response.

    I don't agree with the above. I don't agree by declaring Jihad against Armenians that Turkey "Won the game". And the price isn't "dark understanding of a hybrid Turkish nationlism", The price was Turkish guilt of committing 1.5 million murders, and 90 years of cover-up money and efforts. As long as Turkey values its failing denial campaign, the price is yet to be determined...

      I guess you can see Gondorian that Armenia is in a bit of a quandry (as I've mentioned before, everyone is going to lose in the greater M.E. conflicts to some degree). We tend to have positive relations with boths Arabs and Persians so Armenians are very reluctant to take sides in a Christian/Muslim conflict and surely have so much to lose if they become involved. We seem to be forever between the hammer and the anvil.
      I understand, but it is a bit annoying to hear high ranking Armenians say Jihad means life when we are putting so much effort into fighting Jihad, I am sorry about losing my patience.

        An interesting thread:

        General Antranik (1865-1927): “I am not a nationalist. I recognize only one nation, the nation of the oppressed.”

          I agree. I also feel that even more so than the Armenia, Christians lving in Muslim nations (which includes many Armenians) are in a very perilous condition. Things will certainly not get any easier for them. I do feel a massive war (a religious war) is coming and though I feel the west will win, the Christian communities in the M.E. will be wiped out before the victory.

            Ummm, perhaps I'm missing something here but it seems as if you think that a "high ranking Armenian" was saying that Jihad means life...

            Well, unless I'm mistaken Mufti of the Arab Republic of Syria Sheikh Ahmad Badr Al-Din Hasun is a Mufti of the Arab Republic of Syria (as his title suggests. If his name was "Mufti of the Republic of Armenia" (which it isn't) then perhaps he would fall into the catagory "high ranking Armenian". However, as it is, he is a Syrian representative.

            Furthermore, the article doesn't suggest that the actual "high ranking Armenians" who were present to recieve the Syrian delegation agreed with this perspective. It did state that the actual "high ranking Armenian" did highlight that the Mufti visited during a time whe the neighboring country's (Azerbaijan) religious leader was threatening Jihad against Armenia.

            So to recap:

            The "high ranking Armenians" DID NOT make the statement that "Jihad means life".

            The Mufti of the Arab Republic of Syria Sheikh Ahmad Badr Al-Din Hasun DID IN FACT make the statement that "Jihad means life".

            (I should note that in my opinion, the Mufti made this statement (whether you agree with the actual statement or not) in a show of diplomatic solidarity with Armenia, not a show of solidarity of any kind with Jihadists...)

            I hope this clears things up for you.

              I could say the same things about Pan-Turkism, although sometimes it seems like the Turkic nations of the world have not advanced enough in mentality to realize that unification on the basis of being Turkic is unachievable and ultimately a pipe dream.

                Well, what can I say. The unficiation seems unlikely in distant future but an alliance perhaps can be made...Though I did not understand how the issue shifted to pan-turanism...
