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.

    Congressman Radanovich Pledges to Support Genocide Reaffirmation Efforts



    Armenian Assembly of America, March 18, 2005, Washington, DC - The Armenian Assembly's campaign for reaffirmation of the Armenian Genocide gained strength today as Representative George Radanovich (R-CA), a member of the Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues, vowed to sponsor and support initiatives leading to U.S. recognition of the attempted annihilation of the Armenian people.
    In a speech before Congress today, Radanovich thanked current and former U.S. Ambassadors to Armenia John Evans and Harry Gilmore for publicly using the term to characterize this crime against humanity.

    "I thank the Ambassadors for their statements and pledge to continue my ongoing efforts to sponsor initiatives that would build on the U.S. record towards an inevitable, full and irrevocable U.S. reaffirmation of the Armenian Genocide," Radanovich said.

    Evans, who has studied Russian and Ottoman History at Yale and Columbia Universities, as well as the Kennan Institute, publicly affirmed the Armenian Genocide during meetings with major Armenian-American communities last month. During those exchanges, Evans declared, "the Armenian Genocide was the first genocide of the twentieth century."

    Gilmore, who has also studied the subject extensively, recently told Radio Free Europe/ Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) that, "There is no doubt that the Armenian events were genocide."

    The former diplomat told the news agency that the United Nations Genocide Convention, which was adopted following World War II, "sets up a standard and the massacres and deportations of the Ottoman Armenians meet that standard fully."

    On the heels of these and other pubic declarations, the Armenian Assembly launched a national campaign to urge President Bush to properly recognize the Armenian Genocide in his statement of remembrance next month. To that end, the Assembly mobilized its nationwide network of activists to join this effort, and those of Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues Co-Chairs Joe Knollenberg (R-MI) and Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ), who are rallying Members of Congress to urge the President to formally recognize the Genocide.
