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.

  • Human Rights Abuse in Turkey

    Amnesty International website shows over 360 reports on Turkey since 1998. Ten years later it seems things are getting worse rather than better.



    I am spreading this all over the internet. Al Jazeera just started a subject on human rights, UN, and the worst violators. So far they have been allowing my posts.

    What really gets to me is that most Turks believe this be normal human behavior and are shocked when someone says something.

    In November, Gülcihan Şimşek, a DTP member and mayor of the city of Van, received a one-year prison sentence for referring to PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan as “Mr”.

    Now that is really just ridiculous, arresting someone for calling someone Mister

      They should've called him retard. It looks like its still 1940 in Turkey. You placed Hitler's, Stalin's, or Lenin's pictures upside down accidentally and you'd be sent to jail with a life sentence, most of the time. Other times, you'd just get shot in the head. Man were they civilized.

        I thought Stalin and Lenin was Russia. But yeah I get what you are saying, its a cult of personality thing again. Hiter, Stalin and xxxkurtlar like leaders were monsters, Lenin had some good policies, but some I also turn a stink eye to. Its a pity Stalin ousted Trotsky, I think he would have been better as leader of the Soviet Union.

        I didn't even know all of these laws existed in Turkey, sounds like a police state

          Human rights sucks big time in Turkey although some progress has been made in some areas because of their EU ambition.On the other hand, as a Greek I can`t say I`m very proud of human rights in Greece either.There are many things that could be done in order to improve human rights in both countries(Greece and Turkey).

              Yes, but I was also speaking more in general terms.We are probably going to have new elections in Greece.There have been too many scandals with the current center-right government.The problem with Greece is that it has become a two party state.The corruption in Greece is a huge problem; if Greece wouldn`t been an EU member it would probably be even worse I guess.

              The treatment of some minorities and immigrants could have been much better.I don`t like the Greek church`s influence in politics - though it has decreased lately.Some Greek priests are acting like businessmen and do everything to make money instead of trying to help people in need.

              As for the riots, the policeman who shot 15-year old Alexandros Grigoropoulos must be jailed for life - I doubt however that this will happen.When it comes to the violent demonstrators they should be ashamed of themselves.Smashing cars, throwing molotovs against the police, smashing windows, looting shops...etc is totally unacceptable.A lot of these demonstrators seems to be anarchists.

              Anyway, I`m really sad for what happened to 15-year old Alexandros.May he rest in peace.

                Compare this to the actions of the Georgian priest!!!

                When we holidayed in Corfu in August there were riots and a police station was attacked after local police and businessmen had attacked and killed a woman who had protested about the siting of a landfill site. Did that make the national press Alexandros?

                    The reports indicate that the trade unions have said that they succeeded in paralyzing Greece today. Certainly the airports were closed, large parts of public transport were closed and civil servants did not go to work. Alexandro, are you over there? The government is thinking of declaring Marshal Law.

                    I also heard that the lawyer for the two officers accused of the killing has said that ballistics show that he was killed by a ricochet and not a direct shot. Sounds fishy to me.

                    News, analysis from the Middle East & worldwide, multimedia & interactives, opinions, documentaries, podcasts, long reads and broadcast schedule.


                    Man I hope the best outcome out of this.

                    You might be interested in this as well. Sometimes it takes up to 24hrs for your post to be published if you decide to respond.

                    BTW, I don’t work for Al J guys; I just think that their News is the most balanced, no bull dust, none influenced, and not a part of main stream media.
