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.

      Noyan Tapan
      Armenians Today
      Mar 30 2006

      YEREVAN, MARCH 30, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. Opening of a memorial
      complex dedicated to the memory of the Armenian Genocide victims
      will take place at the Bomon distict of the city of Marseilles on
      April 24. Gilbert Kerkerian, the Deputy Mayor of Marseilles informed
      about this at the March 29 meeting with the Armenia-France Friendship
      Deputies' Groups. It was mentioned that the French Government which
      allocated one million evros, implements building of the memorial
      complex, and the author of the idea draft is the Marseilles-Armenia
      Association. The Tsitsernakaberd memorial complex became a source of
      inspiration for building the memorial complex: it will be engraved
      in French and Armenia on the monument: "In the memory of 1 mln
      500 thousand Armenian became victims of the first genocide of the
      20th century conducted by the Turkish government in 1915." Petros
      Mashughian, a member of the Marseilles-Armenia Association mentioned
      that four flags will be placed in front of the memorial complex:
      France, Armenia, the European Union and the city of Marseilles. It
      was also mentioned that the assistance shown by Jean-Claude Gaudin,
      the Marseill es Mayor, the First Deputy Chairman of the Senate is
      great in building the memorial complex. Mher Shahgeldian, the head
      of the Armenia-France Friendship Deputies' Group appreciated the
      Armenian-French friendship, considering opening of the memorial
      complex symbolical, as the Year of Armenia is marked in France this
      year. He also attached importance to the contribution of the Armenian
      community in Marseilles and the Marseilles-Armenia Association in the
      issue of building the memorial complex . As Noyan Tapan was informed
      by the RA NA Public Relations' Department, other issues relating to
      the Armenian-French ties and of bilateral interest were discussed at
      the meeting.

The cinema, art in which the Armenians excel, will constitute a strong shutter, with Paradjanov, Verneuil, Guédiguian, or Egoyan. Finally the Armenian talents of today, the Republic or the diaspora, will be put at the honor.

              In parallel of the events organized in France, the autumn 2006 will be the occasion of a French Festival in Arménie, which will come to reinforce as much relations between our two countries.
