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.

    Good relations? Armenia's official stand point on Turkey joining the EU is giving approval. Turkeys response is...training Azeri soldiers and CONTINUING the bloackade.

    Turkey on the other hand, one day, will have no choice but to acknowledge the Genocide. Some reforms in Turkey will have to be made though, like for one - you guys need to try that whole "free nation" thing. Turkey is a place for TURKS WHO ARE HYPER-NATIONALISTIC. Its a country for only ONE type of people.
    ace, please don't offend but Armenia can not have a official or non-official policy about Turkey-EU relations since Armenia is not and probably never will be the member of EU. Some conservative Europeans just use Armenians to oppose Turkey, that's all. Armenians can not play a role on this issue.
    Secondly, you do the same think again like those others. Talking about "free nation" or how Turkey have to evolve on democracy, as a person who live in Armenia please compare the democracy and freedom in Turkey and Armenia. Why does your people consider themselves as French, Canadian or American instead of simply Armenian? Armenia is a third world country and will continue as it, unfortunately this is true, I don't say it for insult since Armenia is our neighbour and it is better for us to cooperate with a better country, this is just reality. So please, not only you but eveyone here, stop questioning Turkey democracy and focus on Armenia. Armenia is the country that need democracy and freedom. Turkey is not perfect but is in a pretty good way because we do our best to improve Turkey democracy. On the other hand you do nothing for your homeland. Question Armenia not Turkey, please, please

      I was also just wondering, where do you live/are you from?
      I live in Turkey.
      I can not agree whether it is genocide or not as an ordinary person since you politisize this issue and there is no way to understand what really happened. Turkey denied eveything and still continue the same policy on a certain level, on the other hand you create a genocide mythology and ban every kind of discussion about questioning your myth. If you question this myth in Switzerland you go to jail, can you think about it? Do you really believe that this is a healthy behaviour?
      I accept that hundreds thoussands of people are killed. To state whether it was genocide or not we have to clarify some points.
      1. Did Turkish government have a policy to exterminate all Armenians.
      2. How many people are killed in reality.
      3. Were they massacre or genocide.
      Lots of terrible questions. To find the answers both Turks and Armenians have to stop producing fake documents, stop terrorising themselves, stop to consider this issue as a national hobby and talk about what really happened with historians.
      I can not say that it was genocide since I really don't know what was happened at all phases. You also don't know the whole reality, but you don't care. I really bored of this question of Armenians: "do you accept 1915 as genocide?" You just wait a reply as yes or no, but this is a really complicated historical event and can not analise with this beavis-butthead philosophy. Both of us have to communicate with each other and clarify our mutual history. This is more important than this "yes or no?" thing.

        WAR has always been pretty unstable, and control of events during war just the same. Armenians were unable to carve a piece of Ottoman land for themselves, but they tried really hard!!
        The transfer of Greek and Armenian people out of Ottoman and later Turkish land, for my taste, is pretty understandable, given the circumstances of pre-WWI, then WWI and finally Independence wars. How many innocent Anatolian Turks were murdered by Armenie militia? God only knows.

          Greeks in Turkey and Turks in Greece were exchanged safely but Armenians were not "transferred". Armenian militias crimes were limited, we have to admit the truth about what happened to Armenian civilians. It is understandable to exchange the populations but massive killings can not be understandable.

            Neither of you 2 Turkeys is at all serious or worth discussing anything with. My substantive posts on this issue speak for themselves and show both of you to be ignorant of the facts and essentially racist fools. So of course - considering that you are making false accusations against Armenia/Armenians/me and are being highly disrespectful of the memories of my kin - bruttaly slain and tortured by those of your kin whom you continue to defend - well I have nothing further to say to either of you but F U - big time - and please be gone!

            And I will be thinking of both of you tommorow when I stab the steaming dead bird with some vigor.

              Considering they wont let you in BECAUSE of us, I think what we say is very important.

              And Armenia is not a third world country. Most of Xarabagh deffinitly is but not Armenia as a whole.

              Journalists publically critisize the government - something you CAN'T do in Turkey, especially as a minority. Second off - we let our minorities live in peace, especially since they don't really even do anything.

              Turkish people who live in Armenia are not hated, by the way - just to let you know.

                    wino, just try to be quiet. Try to forget me, try to recover and turn back to your life.
                    And don't cry as "they sweared to my kins" Noone said anything unrespectful to your kins, unlike you do.

                      (2) Armenia immediately puts a stop to the FALSE and LIE of genocide, and take it out of her claims,
                      (3) Armenia and the Armenian authorities recognize the bloody rebellion and cooperation with Russians during war time, thus TREASON, and APOLOGIZE, and start paying restoration to the Turks of Anatolia.
                      ??
                      In a way we should all love Turks like lovataturk. Their minds are small and they are not shy about revealing it!

                      More sophisticated Turks, including those responsble for imposing the blockade in the first place, will give the reason for its imposition as being to support Azerbaijan. That sort of reason is acceptable to the international community, but lovataturk reveals the true, unacceptable, sentiments behind the blockade. Jerks like lovataturk gleefully tear down the carefully constructed PR facade that the Turkish state has put such expense and effort into bulding, and reveal what a racist country Turkey still is.
