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: The sense of loss?

    I thought the Turks invaded because Greece had turned into a dictatorship and the Turks felt they were poorly represented there. But hey, its Turkish government so I don't know what they were thinking.
    It is partly true. Turkey didnot care If Greece is democracy or dictatorships but greece made a coup at cyprus. Elected leader of cyprus(Makarios, He was greek and a saint?) fleed to UK and accuse greece.

    Turkish minority at island fleed from their villages to small enclaves..(Because of killings made by greek side) After coup, Turkey attacked island(first attack). This attack is supported by west. Later, when peace talks failed, Turkey attacked second time and divided land to two ethnics..

    All Turkey, Greece and UK had their rights over cyprus. Turkey firstly tried to cooperate with brits.. Than US threated Turkey. Later, Turkey just ignored UK.

    Lets not forget, makarios was not a lovely saint too. He said, When Turkey attack island, They would not any find Turks to help.(If You ask me, It is a threat of genocide.)

      The earliest known oil wells were drilled in China in 347 CE.

      The Middle East's Petroleum industry was established by the 8th century, when the streets of the newly constructed Baghdad were paved with tar, derived from petroleum that became accessible from natural fields in the region. Petroleum was distilled by the Persian alchemist Muhammad ibn Zakariya Razi (Rhazes) in the 9th century, producing chemicals such as kerosene.
      Though Henry Ford is well known in American history for making the automobile affordable to the average person in the early 1900’s, he was not the first producer of the automobile. By 1860, the gasoline engine had been invented in Europe and in 1885, Karl Benz had introduced the first gasoline powered automobile.

          Thanks, now I've just learnt what Armenian propaganda looks like.
          What Armenian propaganda looks like? And what the truth looks like than?

            1. Yep to produce chemicals, and who is to say that modern production of oil is the same to the ancient Chinese production of oil...it isn't. Again gasoline was used by very few people...the rich mainly...oil production only took off in the 20th century.

            2. Yep and owned only by the wealthy, cars didn't really take off till the early 20th century...the first ones weren't really cars...more like moving steam rollers...so slow.

              When cars take off, they become planes.

              Just admit you posted duff info and got it wrong.

                Is this fact or just another piece of duff info?

                They're the ones built just for New Zealand. (and more like "horseless carriages" as they were called)

                p.s. Twice you mention "the rich/wealthy", don't you like them/us?

Anyway I doubt Enver would have even grasped it anyway. The guy was probably little more than a wreckless and heavy handed meglomanic, hardly a visionary of a burgeoning oil industry. The obvious would suggest that Enver was madly driven with consolidating and gaining Ottoman territorities after suffering hugh losses in the Balkans at any cost and applied 'prison style politics' i.e. hit first before you get hit. Although his actions resulted in tragic consequences, I'd be betting he was probably motivated by greed for territory/land rather than oil or hatred of the Armenian race per se.
                  You show here that you don't really read posts you reply to.
                  The Baghdad railway was planned to link Berlin via the Balkans & Constantinople with Mosul and the Persian Gulf. This would have given Germany the supply route for much needed oil as the sea routes would be controlled by the British navy in times of war.
                  A secondary use of the railway would be to penetrate towards India and Central Asia through Persia to engage the muslims there in the Pan-turan fantasies of the ottomans.
                  Armenia and Armenians stood directly in line of this railway and were seen as a possible future threat to it. enver needed no excuse to carry out his murderous plans, just the "cover" of a war.

                    wtf?

                    Sorry just don't get what you are on about.

                    1. Excuse me? Are you saying that a modern oil derrick was made in China before the Industrial revolution? You are really confusing me now

                    2. What does a car have to do with New Zealand. Also please note all cars built in NZ were made by the same companies that existed in the Uk. So no they were exactly the same. :P

                    How is pointing out that cars originally could only be afforded by the wealthy anything discriminatory???

                      Easily done apparently.
                      You post duff info as fact and then dodge it.
                      A sense of humor wouldn't go wrong either.
