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.

  • How important is it

    to you, personally, that the United States government officially recognise the Armenian Genocide? Do you care if the United States ever officially does this?

    2. When the United States finally does recognise the Armenian Genocide, how do you see this changing anything?

    Re: How important is it

    As far as I am concerned, we should leave history to the historians much like we should leave science to the scientists and philosophy to philosophers. Who cares whether a bunch of politicians decide to "recognize" the true facts about history?

    What is important is that the facts are all out there and well documented, recognized, and acknowledged by the real academics.

      The benefits

      1)It will show that Turkey is no longer a significant partner for US.
      2)This will be a punishment for Turkey's pressure on US as to Kirkuk referandum and Turkey's unwillingness for The Kurds',who have been an dedicated ally of US, emergence as a regional power
      3)Another great step for international recognition.
      4)It will also interest those who are aware not of Armenian genocide
      5)It will accalerate the process of Turks' oust from the civilised lands.
      6)Ultimately,it is a good thing for attaining Great Armenia goal
      Negative Points
      Nothing substantial but better take a look at this

        The recognitions or condemnations mean nothing if there is no punishment for Turkey, the punishment could be the least consolation to us.
        The facts about the Genocide have been there since ninety years ago, furthermore I don’t care whether any Rafael or Samuel have confirmed that or used the word genocide, decades later.

            Let me give you a hypothetical question. If a person were to premeditate a murder that took out 3/4 of your family. They would take all your assets, home, money and the innocence of the female family members. Would you not want that person to be held accountable for murder.

            What is the difference here! Any family member would want that person to be tried and held accountable for murder. And there are still survivors of the genocide that are still waiting to get that piece of mind.

                Sip, I do not understand this line of thinking. Regardless, of our current life in the diaspora (comfort/security). We have our roots in Anatolia, and sadly the end of many of our people was there. What does it matter for survivors, their decendents, and the continuation of an Armenian state to have a political solution? Everything, it provides for some measure of punishment for what was done and creates a political climate in which it would be increasingly difficult for TR to continue with hostile policies towards Armenia. As for the academics.... what good has come from their knowledge of the truth. The resolution of any conflict is on the political front not in a text book.

                  another step in a political battle. ideally it forces the facists out of the woodwork in TR.

                    New question:

                    When the US recognises the Genocide, do you think they will force their beliefs on Turkey or will it just be a token statement quickly burried and nothing much will ever come of it?
