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.

  • Laws & the Denial of The Armenian Genocide

    [I did not know where to post the following, so I created a new thread. Siamanto.]

    The following is an automated translation. The French original follows.


    GENOCIDE, Wednesday May 4, 2005 - ARMENEWS According to Turkish sources', the Swiss authorities would have registered a Turkish academic on their black list for his persistent refusal to recognize the reality of the genocide of the Armenians. Such decision would have be taken after declarations inopportune last year of Yussuf Halacoglu which had denied the existence of a genocide perpetrated against the Armenians of the Othoman Empire, whose no file would keep according to him the trace, to affirm that it was in fact the Armenians which would have massacred the Turks of the Othoman Empire. According to Turkish sources', Switzerland would have launched a warrant for arrest against the Turkish academic, and would have seized Interpol so that it registers it on his " black list ". This lawsuit in negationnism is possible since the canton of Geneva adopted a resolution on December 10, 2001 recognizing the genocide of 1915 solemnly, the canton of Vaud having encased the step to him on September 23, 2003.
    In addition, the Senate of Belgium east studying the text of a resolution sanctioning the negationnism of the Armenian genocide. The Belgian Room had approved by a vast majority this text exposing to the imprisonment or strong those which would go guilty to deny the existence of the Armenian genocide. After approval, probable, by the Senate, the text will be submitted for ultimate ratification to king de Belgique.
    The text envisages a sorrow of 8 days imprisonment to one year and a fine from 26 to 5000 euros for the negationnists of the Armenian genocide. Moreover, the text gives to Belgium the possibility of bringing a legal procedure against any Member State of the EU which would deny the existence of the Armenian genocide.






    Un universitaire turc accusé de négationnisme en Suisse
    GENOCIDE, mercredi 4 mai 2005 – ARMENEWS Selon des sources turques, les autorités helvétiques auraient inscrit un universitaire turc sur leur liste noire pour son refus persistant de reconnaître la réalité du génocide des Arméniens. Une telle décision aurait été prise après les déclarations intempestives l’an dernier de Yussuf Halacoglu qui avait nié l’existence d’un génocide perpétré contre les Arméniens de l’Empire ottoman, dont aucune archive ne garderait selon lui la trace, pour affirmer que c’était en fait les Arméniens qui auraient massacré les Turcs de l’Empire ottoman. Selon les sources turques, la Suisse aurait lancé un mandat d’arrêt contre l’universitaire turc, et aurait saisi Interpol pour qu’il l’inscrive sur sa « liste noire ». Ce procès en négationnisme est possible depuis que le canton de Genève a adopté une résolution le 10 décembre 2001 reconnaissant solennellement le génocide de 1915, le canton de Vaud lui ayant emboîté le pas le 23 septembre 2003.
    Par ailleurs, le Sénat de Belgique est en train d’étudier le texte d’une résolution sanctionnant le négationnisme du génocide arménien. La Chambre belge avait approuvé par une large majorité ce texte exposant à l’emprisonnement ou à une forte ceux qui se rendraient coupables de nier l’existence du génocide arménien. Après approbation, probable, par le Sénat, le texte sera soumis pour ratification ultime au roi de Belgique.
    Le texte prévoit une peine d’emprisonnement de 8 jours à un an et une amende de 26 à 5000 euros pour les négationnistes du génocide arménien. En outre, le texte donne à la Belgique la possibilité d’intenter une procédure judiciaire contre tout Etat membre de l’UE qui nierait l’existence du génocide arménien.
