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.

  • Is there a hope?

    My great grand mom was a little girl when she escaped from Turks on Armenian Genocide. Her name was Zemroukht Vartanian( her children: Wartoosh(MY grand mom) Marous, Azik, Angin, Menik Abrahamians). She witnessed her mom’s death and Turks took her father away. That’s when she was separated from her sisters and brothers. I am hoping I can find them and know where their children are now. I am hoping for a reunion. Do you know how I can make this happen?
    Please if you don’t like this thread just let me know and we can stop it, I don’t want posts with hating and insulting.

    I wouldn't get your hopes up - but no harm in trying to find them. You should list what village they were from and look for others from this area. Armenians in the Diaspora from these times tended to group together based on ties from their villiages, towns and regions. You can't be sure if they made it and might have made it too the States - they could be anywhere. And best of luck!

      Hi, first of all, I'm really sorry for what has happened to your relatives. I'm actually Turkish. I can hypothetically guide you around in Turkey and help you with translations and everything if you think that that might be useful. I'm here to show you all that Turks are not as bas as some Armenians think they are, and also to try to help our nations build up a friendship again. You can PM me any questions you might have.

      Regards,

        Best approach ever to reach someting tangable.

        My point in raising the issue of KosovaGenocide was this, better stated by hyerebel. Because, in Kosovo case, most of those who were assumed to be dead. found somewhere in neighbouring countries.

        Let us ask, not simple recognition from Turkey, but funds to enable family reunions.

        I am of the oppinion that, most of those who were supposed to be dead will show up somewhere in the world. Then, real numbers of dead would be calculated, after that, Turkey will (i am sure of it) apologize for the forced relocation and following sufferings and perishing of the Armenians.

              I will gather all the info I can from my grand mom and her sisters. I just wish I can find a way to know where my grand mom’s uncles and aunts are, I know how much that means to her and her sisters.
              Thank you all for your help, I am hopping for the best!

              How long have you been living in US? When my parents were trying to leave Iran we went to Istanbul and into the other cities. If I was older I sure would start searching the schools and churches.

                  Since 1999.

                  I understand the difficulty of your situation, and again, I am really sorry. If you'd like me to translate some Turkish documents into English, or ask me specific question about Istanbul or elsewhere in Turkey, I'd be glad to help. Feel free to use the Private Messaging service.

                    They are subjects of war,hoping to see ethics in a battle is stupidity.
                    People of a nation which is at war are just "things".You should not see them as humans nor worthful beings etc....
                    Grief is not smth rational...
                    Turks died
                    Armenians died too.
                    Nothing can be done
                    SAD,but true...
                    think rational!
                    be realistic...
