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.

    Armenia says Turkey border may open this year

    Armenia says Turkey border may open this year

    Saturday, May 14, 2005
    DIPLOMACY

    ANKARA - Turkish Daily News

    Armenian Prime Minister Andranik Margarian said his country's closed
    border with Turkey might be opened by the end of the year.

    The current situation is ripe for the normalization of
    Turkish-Armenian relations, Margarian said at a press conference in
    Armenia late Thursday.

    He emphasized that every effort should be made by the end of the year
    to ensure the re-opening of the border and establishment of diplomatic
    relations between the two neighbors.

    The border has been closed for more than a decade. Turkey closed the
    gate and severed diplomatic ties with Armenia after Armenian troops
    occupied the Azerbaijani territory of Nagorno-Karabakh. Ankara now
    says normalization of ties depends on Armenian withdrawal from
    Nagorno-Karabakh as well as progress on a series of bilateral issues,
    including Armenia's support of Armenian diaspora efforts to secure
    international recognition for an alleged genocide of Armenians at the
    hands of the late Ottoman Empire.

    Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has sent a letter to
    Armenian President Robert Kocharian proposing that a joint commission
    of historians study the allegations, but Kocharian instead called for
    the establishment of an inter-governmental group that would look into
    ways to normalize ties.

    Heikki Talvitie, the European Union's special representative for the
    South Caucasus, said a reopening of the border gate was not likely
    before the Nagorno-Karabakh dispute was resolved.

    I don't think the Turkey-Armenia border would be opened before first
    steps are taken for a solution in Nagorno-Karabakh, the Anatolia news
    agency quoted Talvitie as saying after talks with Azerbaijani
    officials in Baku.
