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.

    BRITISH-ARMENIAN PARLIAMENTARY GROUP DEMANDS THAT UK RECOGNIZE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

    Pan Armenian News
    16.06.2005 03:35

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ The British-Armenian multi-partisan parliamentary
    group organized an international conference at the House of Lords
    yesterday, reported the Press Service of the Foreign Ministry of
    Armenia. Armenian FM Vartan Oskanian was invited as the main speaker at
    it. Head of the Armenian-British Friendship Group baroness Caroline
    Cox and Armenian Ambassador to UK Vahe Gabriyelyan addressed the
    opening of the conference. Senior Aide of the Canadian Prime Minister
    Sarkis Assadourian, head of the Armenian-French Friendship Group
    of the French Parliament Francois Rochebloine, Executive Director
    of Beth Shalom Holocaust Commemoration Foundation James Smith
    also addressed the meeting. V. Oskanian made the key report. The
    conference subject was the issue of genocide, which is considered
    as a threat to the humanity today as well, genocide prevention by
    the international community, unacceptability of the Turkish policy
    of denial of the Armenian Genocide. The issue of acknowledgement of
    the Armenian Genocide was discussed within the context of Turkey's
    accession to the EU. At that it was noted that before it Ankara
    has to recognize the Armenian Genocide and normalize relations
    with Yerevan. V. Oskanian drew the attention of those present to
    the contradiction between the statements and actions of the Turkish
    Government, which on the one hand tries to come out as a proponent of
    the truce, while on the other criminalizes the term �genocide�, bans
    public discussion of the issue in the country and event demands that
    the British Government revise histories of Genocide witnesses diplomat
    James Brice and historian Arnold Toynbee. Nevertheless, not seeing an
    alternative to the Armenian-Turkish reconciliation, V. Oskanian said
    Armenia is ready to normalize the Armenian-Turkish relations without
    preconditions. British politicians and public figures, foreign guests,
    diplomats and representative of British and foreign media were present
    at the event. The latest event of this level was organized in 2000 due
    to the 85th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. After the conference
    a dinner was organized in honor of V. Oskanian. In the latter half of
    the day the British-Armenian Group addressed the British Government
    a demand supported by 3 thousand signatures to recognize the Armenian
    Genocide and promote Armenian-Turkish reconciliation. Yesterday a joint
    liturgy of the Armenian Apostolic and Anglican Churches marked the 90th
    anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. V. Oskanian, V. Gabriyelyan,
    baroness Cox, founder of the British-Armenian Parliamentary Group
    duke Shanon, abbot Rice and other were present at the liturgy. The
    same evening V. Oskanian left London for Brussels, where he will
    present Armenia's Action Plan to the EU and the North Atlantic Council.

    What if I find someone else when looking for you? My soul shivers as the idea invades my mind.

    APPEAL TO THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT

    A1plus

    | 20:18:22 | 15-06-2005 | Official |

    In the House of Lords in Great Britain an International Conference
    devoted to Genocide took place organized by the British-Armenian
    multi-party Parliamentary group. RA Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan
    who had arrived the previous evening from Peking was invited to the
    Conference as the main speaker.

    The issue of the Armenian Genocide was discussed in the context of
    Turkey's membership to the EU, according to which Ankara ought to
    recognize it and regulate relations with Yerevan.

    Oskanyan invited attention to the contradiction between the words
    and actions of the Turkish Government, which on the one hand tries
    to show itself as proponent of conciliation before the International
    community and on the other hand criminalizes the term "Genocide",
    prohibits as public discussion with that theme in their country and
    even demands the British Government to reconsider the history recorded
    by diplomat James Brown and historian Arnold Toynbee.

    Nevertheless, Oskanyan expressed the readiness of Armenia to regulate
    the Armenian-Turkish relations without preconditions as he did not
    see any alternative.

    In the afternoon the British-Armenian Parliamentary group appealed to
    the British Government with a petition ratified with 3000 signatures
    demanding to recognize the Armenian Genocide carried out by the
    Ottoman Empire in 1915 and contribute to the reconciliation of the
    two countries.

    In the same evening Minister Oskanyan left London for Brussels to
    represent the plan of actions of Armenia to the North-Atlantic Council
    and the EU.
