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.

  • Evidence of Pan Turanist Ideology

    While getting some testimonies of the genocide for Saco, I came across one by
    Andreas Yessayi Gulanian, where he mentions the impact of Turanic ideals on the Young Turks :

    Memories of Eyewitness-Survivors of the Armenian Genocide

      The ones that don't believe in the genocide read the hate which inspires them in turn to plot to destroy whatever democracy and freedom of speech they have in their country. What else? As for the others I don't know...

        That's obvious but what I meant was what do they understand when they read all that? Do they think it's still a tall tale? Or maybe that we're just dissing their grandfathers? I've always asked myself what do parents tell their 5 year old children when they ask them about the Genocide after hearing about it at school. Just saying it was a lie won't always work. When I asked, I got a very good understanding, got examples, got descriptions, details, etc. What do they get?

          What do they get? It differs time to time, person to person. Let me sum the answers up:

          - Armenians were rebels and they were 5th column of Russia, so compulsorily government exiled/deported them.

          - Actually they killed Turks, by assaulting Turkish villages (they present some photos, testimonies and evidents of massgraves).

          - They wanted to establish an independent state.

          - They were cat's paw of Western imperialists to divide the country.

          etc etc

              Good points everyone. There are probably people who restrict anyone from talking about it at home or simply say everything was a lie and move on.

                  Actually it doesnt happen in that way. Because, there happens conflict of generations. Generally, educated sons/daughters ask their parents "What happened in 1915" question. Mainly fathers give the answers such as i mentioned, but children cannot feel satisfied if they are curious and clever enough. So parents need to persuade children but they cannot in most cases.

                  In my case, it happened so too. Still me and my father, we are discussing (and towards the end of conversation: argue) the Genocide. He cannot restrict me or knows he cannot slide over.

                  In such discussions, my father always tells that Armenians in his grandparents village killed and raped Turks. And always i respond "this doesnot imply that a genocide didnot happen".

                    Often in these situations the truth is secondary dependent on which side of the line you're positioned. That positioning is not always of your own doing either. Our position is determined by our place of birth and parentage, only when we enter education and develop ourselves can we begin to make our judgements. Reading posts by our turkish members, you can nearly feel the frustration they have with the system they're living in. I don't know where Utopia is to be found, certainly not in the UK but it seems we are far better placed than many.
                    Saco, I would imagine that in many households in turkey and Armenia people are too busy making ends meet, paying bills etc. for it to be a major talking point. It's quite a privelige to have access & time to this and other forums.
