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.

    Police blow up package outside Turkish parliament
    Thu 25 Jan 2007 10:40 AM ET
    ANKARA, Jan 25 (Reuters) - Turkish police blew up a suspicious package outside parliament on Thursday which carried a note calling for the release of two suspects in the murder of a prominent Turkish-Armenian editor, police said.

    The package contained a timer but no explosives, police told Reuters.

    The note, from a shadowy ultra-nationalist group TIT, called for the release of suspects Ogan Samast and Yasin Hayal. Five men, including Samast and Hayal, have been charged in connection with the murder of Hrant Dink.

    More Threats to Armenians

    Police Guard Turkish-Armenian Paper After Death Threats

    A Turkish-Armenian newspaper whose prominent editor Hrant Dink was gunned down last week was placed under police protection on Thursday after reporting death threats from a shadowy ultranationalist group.

    Employees of the bilingual “Agos” weekly said they received a letter late Wednesday that described Dink as an “enemy dog” and warned that anyone calling World War One-era massacres of Armenians in Ottoman Turkey a genocide will meet his fate.

    “If you fail to exercise caution, many of your other dogs will also die,” read the letter signed by the obscure Turkish Revenge Brigade (TIT). “We have enough explosives to send the ‘Agos’ building skywards.”

    “If you claim to have endured a genocide in 1915, then you don’t know what a genocide is. A real genocide will begin now,” it said.

    “Agos” journalists said the letter came while Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan was meeting with Dink’s widow and three children to offer his government’s condolences. They said they immediately informed the Turkish police about the threats.

    “We don’t take such threats seriously,” one of them told RFE/RL. “They seem a bit childish. In any case, the newspaper will continue to publish and follow Hrant’s path.”

    The building housing the “Agos” offices was surrounded and searched by security forces on Thursday morning. Although they found no explosives there, two police officers stayed on to guard the entrance to the building.

    Later in the day, police in Ankara blew up a suspicious package outside the Turkish parliament which carried a TIT note calling for the release of the two main suspects in the February 19 shooting of Dink. The package contained a timer but no explosives, police told Reuters news agency. The note warned that real explosions will follow unless Ogun Samast and Yasin Hayal are released.

    Turkish law-enforcement authorities are probing a possible link between ultranationalist groups and these and three other young men charged in connection with the crime which shocked many people in and outside the country. Hayal is a known nationalist militant who has admitted to inciting the 17-year-old Samast to gun down Dink in broad daylight.

    Hayal issued a stern warning to Nobel Literature Prize winner Orhan Pamuk as he was taken to an Istanbul court house on Wednesday. "Orhan Pamuk should be careful" he shouted to journalists.

    Like Dink, Pamuk has challenged the long-standing Turkish denial of a premeditated effort to exterminate the Armenian population of the Ottoman Empire. Both men were controversially prosecuted under an article of the Turkish criminal code that envisages tough penalties for “insulting Turkishness.”

    Meanwhile, a Russian news agency released on Wednesday what it described as Dink’s last media interview that was given two days before his violent death. The 52-year-old editor was quoted as repeating that he “constantly” gets hate mail and threats deaths relating to his public references to the Armenian genocide. “I am dogged by fear every day,” he told two correspondents for Ria-Novosti, again comparing himself to a pigeon who “always turns its head, flinches at any rustle and is always ready to fly away.”

    “I think I’m not like many Armenians [in Turkey] who prefer to hide their heads when things get dangerous,” Dink said. “But I can’t hide all the time … It’s not easy for my wife and children to know that their father constantly gets death threats, both by phone and e-mail.”

    Dink also revealed that he had tried unsuccessfully to make a career in the Turkish armed forces after finishing his compulsory military service in the early 1960s. “I realized at the time that you can’t become an army officer in secular Turkey if you are not a Muslim,” he said. “That’s when I really felt what it’s like to be an Armenian in Turkey.”

            Alright, this guy is completely insane. He takes the Turkish penchant for ceating conspiracy theories to a whole new level.

            Though, if there was ever a competition for the world's most pronounced eyebrows, he might take first prize.

              Belongs in the ridicules news.a turkophile and a cheap one I'm sure at that
              "All truth passes through three stages:
              First, it is ridiculed;
              Second, it is violently opposed; and
              Third, it is accepted as self-evident."
