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.

      Re: 120

      Really? Didn't read up on the entire movie. I remeber about a year or two back, I was driving in a cab here in Yerevan when I heard a Radio host talk about a movie the Turks were starting to film against the Armenians. Me and the driver laughed about it, I really didn't have any idea how the Turks were going to pull it off.. Now we know what they were working on, lol. I'm gonna watch it or atleast I'll try my best to get my hands on it.

        You gotta love the euphamisms in the text :

        "During the Sarikamis Battle, the Ottoman army runs out of ammunition and appeals to the people of Van for help, who happen to have supplies"

        Yeah I think we all know what Ottoman appeals to Armenians were back then.
        Correct me if I am wrong though, but they keep going on about Hnchak rebellion against the Ottomans, I thought it was the ARF who was active in that area.
        Only after 1918 or am I wrong there.

        I can't wait to hear from Turkey how its actually Zildjian the cymbal company who is to blame behind all this and they secretly caused the "evil" rebellion against the "innocent" Ottoman army

            I hope it get's into my hands so I can laugh my head off. An entire country tries to wipe you out and then makes a movie(s) to prove it was YOUR fault. Pitiful....

                Check out this review (probably by a Turk)

                The Armenian organizations in Australia attempted to stop the screening of this movie in local cinemas without success. This indicated to me that the film was worth seeing.

                We went to see 120 on a sunny Sunday afternoon together with several family friends. Although we tried hard to hold back tears during the screening, we were nevertheless struck with the tender presentation of a bitter episode in Turkish history.

                "Munire" is a well known and deeply admired young actress in Turkey. Her performance adds great deal of warmth to the otherwise sobering and equally desperate struggle. Unfortunately, I found that the players were not given sufficient time to exhibit their full potentials. The plot was somewhat rushed and climactic moments were not well emphasized. Period atmosphere, superb music and excellent cinematography tend to alleviate many of these shortcomings however make-up and reproduction of local dialects fall far short of a commendable standard.

                Makers of this genre need to review and digest the productions of the rival camp before embarking upon such ambitious projects. Having said that, one should also bear in mind that Turks have to refrain from making Armenian style propaganda films which only help create friction and reinforce communal hatred. I believe viewers would like to see the historical facts made palatable with a small romantic story as was done in 120.

                Of course, one impediment towards creating a "Doctor Zhivago" standard movie is money. Turkish film makers have to find the necessary financial support in order to be able to create world class productions. This is not too hard to do in this day and age…. they only need to follow the examples of their Armenian and Greek counterparts.

                One last suggestion is to convince the producers that the copies to be shown overseas need to be dubbed into English or German – depending on where the films is screened – with Turkish subtitles. These films need to be tailored to attract Turkish youth abroad and the local population in foreign countries. Turkiye is on the back foot after 80 years of intense Armenian lobbying and the only way to reverse this trend is to show "the other side of the coin" to the world community.
