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.

    Came across this recently.

    Author: McCULLOCH, J. R.
    Title: Russia and Turkey
    Publisher: London: Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans, 1854.

    Excerpt from the Turkey section: "Perhaps no nation ever possessed so little talent for governing others as the Turks. They have never struck their roots, or acquired any solid footing, in the countries they have conquered. They are encamped in and occupy them; but they hold them by no tie other than the sword. They have never coalesced with the original inhabitants. They look upon themselves as the nation, and the rest of the people, or those at least who have not embraced Mohammedanism, as an inferior race, which it is, if not a duty, at all events but a venial offence, to insult and xxxxxle upon. In this respect they differ widely from the Tartars who overran China, and, indeed, from every other people; and to this more than anything else, their weakness, and the wretched state of the countries subject to their dominion, are to be ascribed..."

If I were you, I would not go there.
              Fadix, it seems that you have another interesting example like winoman. Winoman seems like a person that have an ultra self confidence about Turkish-Armenian debates that nobody can convince that he makes stupid comments.
              And as I understood you consider yourself some kind of historian that has an ultra self confidence that nobody seems to convince you about how stupid and childish "knowledge" you have about history.
              You two really entertain me more than others.

                  No, actually I'm Georgian. CIA is funding me for a cold war against Armenians. Because they don't like the Russian involvement over Caucasian oil reserves and against Iran-Armenia alliance. You see nothing is as it seems.
                  There are big conspiracies around us. You have to be careful skhara. Big brother may be watching you.

                    Well this is overly simplistic and not entirely accurate, but I think you are on to something.

                      Written and published in Britain in 1854, the year Britain and France allied themselves with the Ottoman empire to protect your ancestors from getting a thorough kicking at the hands of the Russians. If that was what allies of Turkey thought of Turks - what do you think their enemies would write?
