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.

Netherlands Recognizes Genocide

    We can safely say that this has been a fairly good year for the Armenian cause, with 3 countries (Canada, Slovakia and the Netherlands) recognizing the Armenian Genocide... The only bad thing I could think of is the fact that Kerry didn't become president after so much Armenian support.
    Another positive thing I could think of is when Turkey (or Turkish groups?) condemned the US of genocide in Fallujah ( ). This could easily be used as a weapon to get the AG acknowledged this year.

              It does not make a difference directly to us when a country passes legislation of recognizing the genecide.. however millions of people within those countries have no idea of any such thing.. most do not even know Armenia exist... here in the United States is the same situation.. The legislation hoever not important, allows for media converage which in turn will do its part for getting the word out to some people. And yes it does not make a difference directly to our lives, but im sure i am not the only one that feels it is a relevant topic to be discusse din history classes throughout the United States, cause as far as i remember no such thing was ever in any of my history books... There is an American made documentary about the History of Armenia leading to the genecide, it is titled "Armenia, Nation between worlds"

                Here too, the Genocide isn't mentionned in History (school) books... However, there would always be a whole paragraph dedicated to the Jewish Holocaust.
                I do respect them for what they have been through, but are the Jews more important than us?

                The strange thing is that a more recent French textbook gives some informations about the Genocide, and with one or two pictures...

                  It doesn't really make a difference to us, but it seems that it makes a difference to Turkey! They put a lot of effort to stop these legislations. They threatened to not buy products (train cars?) from ''Bombardier'', when Canada was going to pass the motion recognizing the AG but I don't think anything really happened... Note that the Motion acknowledges the Armenian Genocide without even mentioning the words ''Turk'' or ''Ottoman''...

                    Cool, dave.

                    And yes, Jews are more important than Armenians. They have done great things in the world like plague mankind with Christianity, Islam, Communism, Capitalism, Zionism and so much more lovely things. I am sooooo sad that others killed them, its not their fault that they try to take over the governments of every nation they live in.

                      I know that there are those bad Jews that support the Turks to deny the Genocide, that worship the dollar, etc. but there are also those that are just fine. That's how humanity is.

                      The Turks generalized too when they attempted to murder the Armenian race. They thought that all Armenians supported the Armenian revolution (but unfortunately it wasn't true). Instead of killing only Armenian leaders and revolutionnaries, they tried to kill all Armenians.

                      According to you, would the Armenian revolution justifie the Armenian Genocide? If not, then Capitalism, Zionism,etc wouldn't justifie the Holocaust.
