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.

I'm sorry that I was such an idiot.

Turks will never sacrifice their wealth that belongs to Armenians that they already have mercilessly stolen. They will never accept it unless there is a greater power making them. We with the help of God, if you must, should be that power who enforces their decisions based upon our standards and or consent, primarily.I'm sorry that I was such an idiot.

Originally posted by Tres Bieni am not naive, there are turks who like armenians, so what?

If half of them even did feel remorseful for their ancestors acts towards our people, then why are they not contributing here? The civilians in this free nation refuse completely to acknowledge a genocide or help in anyway to at least apologize for their ancestors' genocidal plunderings.Last edited by Deviance; 06-16-2004, 10:01 AM.I'm sorry that I was such an idiot.

Originally posted by Baron DantsTurkey never shows up with any facts at any symposiums held by Armenians. This means that Turkey doesn't have anything to say, right?
Please, just give it up. It is a historical truth, and you will be doing greater good to your country by finally accepting it then by running away from it.I'm sorry that I was such an idiot.

Yes, the little "evidence" they come up with is truly sad.
This Turkish man, after the Taner Akcam lecture, approached Dr. Akçam and gave him a booklet published by a bunch of Turkish university students, as if a genocide scholar had things to learn from them.
During the lecture, the same man asked "why don't people use Ottoman archives? Of course that foreign consuls will make up lies about the Turks." He, of course, was ignoring the fact that most of Dr. Akçam's research is based on Ottoman archives.
It's like they have a set of questions and comments which they will use whenever they have the chance, regardless of the situation.

What the Turkish did, is by far one of the most shocking things I have ever known about, and believe me I do have sympathy. But I do not believe that anger towards turks now will solve anything. People change, and the turks that were involved in the genoicde differ from the turks that exist today. I am aware that some turkish adolences still shout out hateful things to armenians, but I believe it is only from lack of knowledge. You cannot strike down an entire race on the mistakes others have made in their past. It is like saying, I am a nazi, due to the fact that I am of German heritage. It just isnt right. Fighting hatred with hatred just isnt going to do any good. An eye for an eye? As ghandi said it, "an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind."

But when you do not commit youre crimes, its because you have a good reason not too, in turkeys case it means, you get away with anything you do today.
Because in no way was the armenian genocide a one time - atrocitiy but today they continue through azerbadjian and on their own ethnic minorites and cause death and devastation.
In azerbadjian pogroms was carried out on the armenian population not that long ago, in the same brutal style as they did during the atrocities of 1915-___genocide.Last edited by Tres Bien; 07-22-2004, 12:21 PM.
