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.

    New Turkish film on Istanbul Pogrom

    When I was in Istanbul this past winter I saw a trailer for a movie about the Istanbul Pogrom against Christian minorities in 1955. I didn't catch the name of the movie, does anyone know the name of this and when it is coming out?

    I'm really glad this movie is being made. At least a quarter of Istanbul in the 1950s was non-muslim; Greeks in Istanbul were exempt from the western Anatolia/Thrace population exchanges. Its time Turks learned what their country did to loyal non-muslim Turkish citizens. In order to spark the riots, MIT (Turkish Intelligence Agency) BOMBED Ataturk's childhood house in Selanika (modern day Thessaloniki, Greece) in a false-flag operation designed to blame the Greeks.

    The Turkish deep-state has NO respect for Mustafa Kemal (the actual man of flesh).

    The Istanbul Pogrom is when old Istanbul really seized to exist, during Ottoman times Istanbul was a very multi-religious metropolitan. Muslims, Christians, and Musevis (followers of moses) celebrated each others religious holidays. Modern day Istanbul is just but a shadow of its past.

    Orhan Pamuk understands the loss of true Istanbul.

    Really, there is no other event in the Republican era of Turkey that I find more despicable and embarrassing. The Armenian Genocide was committed during a transitory time under Turanist rule. However, the Istanbul Pogroms was committed after the Kemalist reforms under the Turkish Republic, and is thus inexusable.

              I agree.

              The Greeks got trifecta special:

              1. Pontic Genocide
              2. Burning Symrna TO THE GROUND - even melting the topsoil - Post-seige 'orgy of wanton destruction with fire (fire is so popular in Anatolian Wars - maybe we all desire Zoroasterianism?)
              3. Population Transfer - Went Fine - Ataturk's influence
              4. Wealth Tax - Terrible Econoimc Policy

              And just when you thought you had entered the civilized post WW2 era,

              surprise:

              5. 1955 Istanbul Pogroms - but at least they 'repented and made restitution'

              With these tactics ('advanced civilization') - they were successful in destroying the Greek Population in Turkey / Thrace / Constantinople from the largest Christian Minority at 10-12% to 0.01% and Armenians after these wonderful measures

              Congratulations are in ordere for destroying a high per capita population set v causing mass capital flight out and the country less diverse, more religous unitarynism (i.e. Muslim Sunni had 99% of the population).

              Also, deporting and forcing out wealthy Istanbul Greeks and importing illiterate uneducated skill-less Kurds from the SE - a brillaint economic, political, and social move.
