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.

          ARMENIAN GENOCIDE EDUCATION
          Reaching Into the School Curriculum
          A Panel Discussion with



          Prof. Richard G. Hovannisian

          Armenian Education Foundation Professor of
          Modern
          Armenian History, UCLA

          Director of Research and Development, Facing
          History and
          Ourselves



          Dr. Henry Theriault

          Associate Professor of Philosophy, Worcester State College

          Over the past several decades a remarkable amount of work has been
          done to document and analyze the Armenian Genocide committed by the
          Ottoman Turks in 1915- 23. Yet the level of knowledge of the Genocide
          outside the Armenian community remains disappointingly low; and,
          moreover, the lessons of the Armenian Genocide and other 20th century
          genocides have not halted the practice of mass killings for political
          purposes, as recent events in Darfur attest.

          Facing History and Ourselves of Brookline, MA, has been a leader in
          producing Holocaust and genocide curricula since it's founding in the
          late 1970s. They have now published an important textbook on the
          Armenian Genocide, Crimes Against Humanity and Civilization: The
          Genocide of the Armenians, supervised by Adam Strom with significant
          input from leading scholars such as Richard Hovannisian. The
          existence of such a text, as well as the huge body of scholarship on
          the subject, raises key questions: How to get the text and the
          teaching of the Armenian Genocide into public schools in Massachusetts
          and beyond? What is the most effective way to teach the Armenian
          Genocide to non- Armenians? Can the lessons of the Armenian Genocide
          have a far-reaching effect in the prevention of future genocides?

          These and many other questions will be addressed by the panel which
          will be moderated by Marc A. Mamigonian of NAASR. Join us for the
          opportunity to engage in an in- depth conversation on this most
          relevant subject and learn more about Crimes Against Humanity and
          Civilization.

            NAASR LECTURE ON OTTOMAN ARMENIAN

            PHOTOGRAPHS IN GETTY MUSEUM




            Van Aroian of Worcester, MA, will give an illustrated lecture on
            "Armenian Photographs in the Getty Museum," at the Center and
            Headquarters of the National Association for Armenian Studies and
            Research (NAASR), 395 Concord Ave., Belmont, MA, on Thursday evening,
            October 13, at 8:00 p.m.

            The Getty Museum in Los Angeles, California, houses the Getty Research
            Library, which contains an impressive collection of Ottoman photographs.
            This collection is an invaluable resource for Ottoman scholars,
            ethnographers, historians of Ottoman photography, and students of
            Armenian Ottoman life. Furthermore, this collection provides a valuable
            resource for an investigator interested in developing the significant
            contribution of Armenian photographers to the early development of
            photography throughout the Ottoman Empire.


            Sampling of an Important Collection


            The program will provide a visual presentation and sampling of the
            Ottoman photo collection at the Getty Research Institute, with a focus
            on its Armenian flavor and contributions. On a fundamental level this
            collection provides investigators with a rare opportunity actually to
            see aspects of Ottoman life and culture - a presentation of a world in
            transition captured for succeeding generations. These photos will
            provide us the opportunity to walk down memory lane and share together
            some social and historic commentary.

            Van Aroian spent some six weeks in 1999-2001 looking through the Getty's
            Ottoman photograph collection. He first presented the results of his
            investigations into the Getty's collection in an article in NAASR's
            Journal of Armenian Studies (vol. 7, no.1, Fall-Winter 2002-2003)
            entitled "Ottoman Photographs at the J. Paul Getty Research Institute:
            Armenian Themes and Contributions." There he offered an overview of the
            collection and provided detailed analyses of several photographs of
            direct or indirect relevance to the Armenians.

            Aroian earned a BA at Boston University and MA in Middle Eastern Studies
            at Harvard University. He was a fellow in Urban Geography at Clark
            University and an Urban Planner and Deputy Director of the Worcester
            Redevelopment Authority. He later joined his brother in-law, Kevork,
            and wife Mary Balekdjian Aroian in importing and retailing Oriental
            carpets. He is currently a member of the NAASR Board of Directors.

            More information on Aroian's lecture or seminar or about
            NAASR and its programs for the furtherance of Armenian studies,
            research, and publication may be had by calling 617-489-1610, by fax at
            617-484-1759, by e-mail at [email protected], or by writing to NAASR, 395
            Concord Ave., Belmont, MA 02478.

                    Armenians Will Protest Turkish Defense Minister's Visit to L.A.

                    GLENDALE, CA - The Armenian National Committee of American - Western Region
                    (ANCA-WR) announced last week that Armenian Americans will gather in front
                    of the Beverly Hills Hotel on March 24, at 11 a.m. to protest Turkish
                    Defense Minister Vecdi Gönül's visit to the Los Angeles area.
                    The Armenian American community will rally in front the Beverly Hills
                    Hotel, where Defense Minister Gönül will be a guest speaker at a luncheon
                    hosted by the Los Angeles World Affairs Council. During the luncheon, he
                    will discuss Turkey's role vis-à-vis the European Union, as well as the
                    changing strategic landscape of Eurasia. There will be a question & answer
                    session following his speech, during which issues such as the Armenian
                    Genocide and Turkey's dismal record of human rights should be addressed.
                    In traveling to California, Defense Minister Gönül will be visiting a state
                    that has not only recognized the acts perpetrated by the Ottoman Turkish
                    government in 1915 as Genocide, but one that teaches the history of this
                    crime to its public school students, and has officially set aside a full
                    week every April to honor its victims.
                    The ANCA-WR encourages the community to voice their concerns against the
                    Turkish government's denial of the Armenian Genocide and its continuous
                    violations of human rights by joining thousands of protestors at the
                    Beverly Hills Hotel on March 24th. The Beverly Hills Hotel is located on
                    9641 Sunset Boulevard in Beverly Hills.
                    "All truth passes through three stages:

                    Third, it is accepted as self-evident."
