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.

    I have seen in English with Turkish subtitles more than ten times
    It was amazing, especially introduction part.
    Yeah, it was an interesting movie. I know what it's like to see a movie a hundred times too . I'm a movie craze at times.

    Protestant churcuhes, they are all opened and can be easily visited. But there are problems in Orthodox churches i think regarding the church staff.

    Last week with my firend i went to Greek Orthodox church in Istanbul but they didnot allow us to enter.
    Damn, that's not really good. I guess freedom is only possible in dreams in Turkey for most.

    In Armenian, i like the most is Jirair which is my friend's name.

    In English Arthur and in Turkish Ulash.
    I like my own name which is Sarkis, named after Surb (Saint) Sarkis or Saco for short. I like the name Lina a lot too although I doubt its an Armenian name. For an English name, I'd say Jason is a good name. I don't know any Turkish names though so can't say which is my favorite.

      I think you misunderstood. A duty of church stops in front of the door and didnot let us to come in. That's not related to state policy. If you are not Greek, simply they dont let you in Greek church.

        Understood, I thought they didn't allow you in for other reasons.

          Saco, one of my research subject (as a hobby of course) Kurdish Ezidis (or Yezidis) and i know some of them live in Armenia. Unfortunately, many Ezidis of Turkey migrated to Germany. Do you know something about them?

                What do you want to know about Yezidis in Armenia? When I lived in Armenia I had many Yezidi neighbors... They are mostly hard working people. They got an official community in Armenia and I think they have a representative in Armenian Parliament...
                I have been there... I have seen ruins of St. Karapet!

                  From what I understand the Yezidis do not onsider themselves Kurds necessarily bit simply Yezidis; a different entity altogether. Their relgion is very much related to Zoroastrianism.
                  General Antranik (1865-1927): “I am not a nationalist. I recognize only one nation, the nation of the oppressed.”

                    That's pretty good. I do not intend anything. Just curious and want to know further about an Anatolian community.

                      DAMN, sorry Arda, this is rediculous. YEZDIS? I read it wrong. Of course I know them. Living in Armenia and not seeing Yezdi's is pretty much impossible. Sorry for the confusion. I was really drowsy when I was writing to you yesterday at night, lol.

                      Where I live there are lot's of Abarantsis at the moment but there are Yezdis. Believe it or not, some of the richest people in Armenia are Abarantsis and Yezdis. They really do work hard and all but I have to agree, they have their awkward moments from time to time. That's one of the reasons people tease them so much but to tell you the truth, I'm still against all that crap. I respect them for who they are and there are really great people amongst them. Their just people like all of us. It's simply become a motto to tease them and all. This is changing though.
