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.

    THE WHITE HOUSE Office of the Press Secretary

    April 24, 2006

    Today, we remember one of the horrible tragedies of the 20th century --
    the mass killings and forced exile of as many as 1.5 million Armenians
    in the final days of the Ottoman Empire in 1915. This was a tragedy
    for all humanity and one that we and the world must never forget.

    We mourn this terrible chapter of history and recognize that it remains
    a source of pain for people in Armenia and for all those who believe in
    freedom, tolerance, and the dignity and value of every human life. It
    is a credit to the human spirit and generations of Armenians who live
    in Armenia, America, and around the globe that they have overcome
    this suffering and proudly preserved their centuries-old culture,
    traditions, and religion.

    We praise the individuals in Armenia and Turkey who have sought
    to examine the historical events of this time with honesty and
    sensitivity. The analysis by the International Center for Transitional
    Justice, while not the final word, has made a significant contribution
    toward deepening our understanding of these events. We encourage
    dialogues, including through joint commissions, that strive for a
    shared understanding of these tragic events and move Armenia and
    Turkey towards normalized relations.

    Today, we look with hope to a bright future for Armenia. Armenia's
    Millennium Challenge Compact reflects our confidence and the
    importance we place in Armenia making progress on democratic reform
    and advancement of free markets. We seek to help Armenia bolster its
    security and deepen its inclusion in the Euro-Atlantic family. We
    remain committed to securing a peaceful and lasting settlement of
    the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and hope the leaders of Armenia and
    Azerbaijan will take bold steps to achieve this goal.

    On this solemn day of remembrance, Laura and I express our deepest
    condolences to the Armenian people. Our nations stand together,
    determined to create a future of peace, prosperity, and freedom for
    the citizens of our countries and the world.

    Armenian Genocide Proclamation

    ARMENPAC WORKS WITH FLORIDA GOVERNOR JEB BUSH ON ARMENIAN GENOCIDE PROCLAMATION
    We're sorry, but something went wrong (500)
    http://www.armenpac.org/index.shtml

    Irving, TX - On April 7, 2006 Governor John Ellis “Jeb” Bush of Florida issued a proclamation in commemoration of Armenian Martyrs’ Day that states “many Armenians were victims of genocide…” ARMENPAC Board Member Marta Batmasian worked closely with Governor Bush to ensure that the Armenian-American community’s interests were appropriately represented in this proclamation. “ARMENPAC applauds Governor Bush for affirming the truth on the Armenian Genocide, as we continually work, now 91 years after the occurrence of this crime against humanity, to ensure that the United States record is appropriately reaffirmed,” said ARMENPAC Board Member Marta Batmasian.

    Governor Jeb Bush, first elected to office in 1998, is currently serving his second term as Florida’s chief executive. He led an aid mission to Armenia shortly after the devastating earthquake on December 7, 1988, and has since remained a friend to the Armenian-American community. Florida, by way of Governor Bush’s proclamation, joins the growing majority of States that properly recognize the actions taken by the Ottoman Turkish Empire against the Armenians during 1915-1923 as genocide. “We hope that United States President George W. Bush, who has employed a textbook definition of the word genocide rather than the word itself to describe this crime against humanity, will also properly recognize the Armenian Genocide in his April 24th commemoration statement,” said ARMENPAC Co-Chairs Edgar Hagopian and Annie Totah.

    Currently, two resolutions regarding the Armenian Genocide are pending in the United States Congress, i.e., H.Res.316 and S.Res.320. H.Res.316 and S.Res.320 call upon the President to ensure that United States foreign policy reflects appropriate understanding and sensitivity concerning issues related to human rights, ethnic cleansing, and genocide documented in the United States record relating to the Armenian Genocide and the consequences of the failure to realize a just resolution; and to characterize the systematic and deliberate annihilation of 1.5 million Armenians as genocide and to recall the proud history of United States intervention in opposition to the Armenian Genocide in the President’s annual message commemorating the Armenian Genocide.

      BUSH USES ‘MASS KILLING AND FORCED EXILE OF AS MANY AS 1.5 MILLION OF ARMENIANS’ ‘GENOCIDE’

      "Today, we remember one of the horrible tragedies of the 20th century: the mass killing and forced exile of as many as 1.5 million of Armenians in the final days of the Ottoman Empire in 1915. This was a tragedy for all humanity and one that we and the world must never forget," US President George Bush said in his annual speech on the occasion of April 24, the day of commemoration of the victims of the Armenian Genocide.

      Though Bush didn’t use the term "genocide," he stated about the mass killings and the forced exile of 1,5 million of Armenians in 1915.

      Praising the individuals in Armenia and Turkey who have sought to examine the historical events with honesty and sensitivity, Bush encouraged dialogues directed to normalized relations between Armenia and Turkey through shared understanding of the tragic events.

      "Today, we look with hope to a bright future for Armenia. Armenia’s Millennium Challenge Compact reflects our confidence and the importance we place in Armenia making progress on democratic reform and advancement of free markets. We remain committed to securing a peaceful and lasting settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict and hope the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan will take bold steps to achieve this goal," Bush stated.

      In fact, touching upon the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict, he urges resolute steps from the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan. This factor may be imparted with great importance from the viewpoint of USA activeness in Nagorno Karabakh issue.
