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.

    Arnold Schwarzenegger Proclaims April 24 Day Of Remembrance Of The Armenian Genocide

    GOVERNOR SCHWARZENEGGER PROCLAIMS APRIL 24 "DAY OF REMEMBRANCE OF THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE"






    EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT
    STATE OF CALIFORNIA

    _________________________

    P R O C L A M A T I O N
    by the
    Governor of the State of California

    Ninety years ago today, the Ottoman Turkish government waged a war of terror on Armenian culture through the brutal deportation, imprisonment and decimation of men, women and children of Armenian descent. By 1923, the Ottoman Empire had dissolved, but its monstrous attempt at ethnic cleansing left more than 1.5 million Armenians massacred and 500,000 survivors forcibly exiled from their ancestral homeland.

    Today, the Republic of Armenia remains as the world's reminder of the Armenian Genocide and of the indestructible spirit of a people. It is a nation founded on the principles of freedom and democracy that we as Americans prize above all else. Our state's flourishing Armenian-American population - the largest outside of Armenia - has left its indelible stamp on our state's history, industry and culture.

    Each year, the Day of Remembrance of the Armenian Genocide brings an opportunity for all people to scrutinize the cause and consequence of this grim massacre. To carve out a secure future free from intolerance and persecution, we must examine the past and heed history's lessons of forewarning - for the sake of future generations who inherit our civilization.

    In 1969, then-Governor Ronald Reagan said, "Today, I humbly bow in memory of the Armenian martyrs, who died in the name of freedom." On the 90th anniversary of this great human tragedy, Californians continue to join with freedom-loving people around the world to honor the Armenian people as they continue to show the world the true meaning of hope, renewal and perseverance.

    NOW, THEREFORE, I, ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER, Governor of the State of California, do hereby proclaim April 24, 2005, as a "Day of Remembrance of the Armenian Genocide."


    IN WITNESS WHEREOF I have here unto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of California to be affixed this the fourteenth day of April 2005.

    /s/ Arnold Schwarzenegger

    Governor of California

    THERE IS NOTHING CALLED "Ottoman Turkish government".
    There were no Turkey or even the idea of Turkey at that time.
    This means what he is proclaiming is completely not legal.

        Turk is different than Turkish.

        Turk represents the ethnic group. It is the name of the ethnic group.
        Not the people who are citizen of Turkey.
        They dont called themselves "Young Turkish".
        Even if they called themselves "Young Turks" there were no Republic of Turkey at that time.
        Republic of Turkey has been establish way after the "Young Turks".
        And before that establishment of Turkey, all of them has been punished by the Ottoman government.

        Stop using the Term "Ottoman Turkish".
        There is no historical documentation or even a history book in the entire world calling "Ottoman Empire" as "Ottoman Turkish".
        Except only some group of Armenian people and some movie stars who are acting like governer.
        This shows that this group of people is trying to bend the truth with their playing with words tricks.

          The government of Ottoman Empire responsible for the Armenian genocide was called "Young Turks" and the perpetrators were of Muslim Turkish origins. The "Turkish Government of Ottoman Empire" makes perfect sense. You're trying to nail jelly to the wall with your argument. You're not getting anywhere nor are you making sense.

            the government of Ottoman empire is not Turk at all.
            Read the history carefully.
            The sultan family is not Turk. But Devsirme.

            Dont try to bend the history and try to connect Ottoman Empire to Turkey.
            You are not going to make that. You can not rewrite the history.

            Shame on you people.

              Your ignorance is unbelievable...

              Sultan Abdul Hamid II ordered the first massacre (not genocide) of Anatolia Armenians in 1894-6, where 200,000 Armenians perished. We’re talking about The Genocide of 1915 here. In 1908 Sultan was forced to sign a modern constitution. A year later Abdul Hamid was forced to abdicate his office, and the sultanate was stripped of much of its power. That’s when the most virulently nationalistic elements of the “Young Turk” movement started. This new leadership took the Ottoman Empire into the WWI. In 1915 the Ottoman Turkish leadership ordered and implemented a policy of genocide against the Armenian people. So it wasn’t the Sultan, but the Young Turks who ordered the policy of genocide against the Armenians. “Young Turks” were of Muslim Turkish origins. Also, Turkey is the successor of the Ottoman Empire, so what is your point?

                  "Young Turks" is just a group of loose people who has no connection with the government. They dont carry any of the ideas of the government or Turkey. But they do carry their own sick ideas.
                  You can compare them with the Armenian gans/rebels at that time who also commit massacre act against Turks.

                  As you should know, Ottoman Empire at that time %100 collapsed. And there were no solid government power at all because the countries who are fighting against Ottoman Empire started to divide the Ottoman Empire into pieces.

                    Another truth bending word from Arnold is >>
                    By 1923, the Ottoman Empire had dissolved
                    The Ottoman Empire had dissolved way before 1923. This is another strategy from genocide claimers inorder to show the false connection between Ottoman Empire and Turkey.

                    Turkey established it is own government in 1923. There were alot of minorities in the government also including Armenians.
                    The Ottoman Empire collapsed even before 1915 and has nothing to do with Turkey or Turkish government.
                    We fought our own independence war after the Ottoman Empire collapse.
