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.

    KOCHARIAN'S SPEECH TO AIM AT 'DRIVING TURKEY INTO A CORNER

    AZG Armenian Daily #090, 19/05/2005

    Armenia-Turkey

    In their CE Warsaw Summit coverage Turkish newspapers labeled
    Armenian President Robert Kocharian's speech "brief". The speech was
    apparently carrying some weight if it drew Turkey's attention. Turkish
    Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who expressed readiness to meet
    Kocharian, was the first to respond to it. The second response followed
    the first one.

    Turkish papers emphasize in May 17 articles that Erdogan's
    answer stemming out from his disappointment was rather
    "tough". Representatives of the Azerbaijani delegation, according to
    Milliyet, said, "Kocharian is an old Dashnak member, that's why his
    speech should not be surprising. You cannot expect anything but old
    approaches from him".

    Apparently feeling the weigh of Kocharian's words and his own
    vulnerability, PM Erdogan prepared his second speech on May 17
    (having already expressed his position on the Genocide in a previously
    called press conference) to oppose Kocharian with his links between
    "international recognition of Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey
    and faithfulness to European values".

    Daily Zaman cites some sentences from Erdogan's speech in May 18
    article titled "Crossfire of Words on Genocide in Warsaw". Erdogan
    reminded that Turkey has opened both civilian and military archives
    and repeated its calls for Armenia and the third impartial countries
    to open their archives as well.

    Semih Idiz of Milliyet draws readers' attention to the fact that
    French journalists considered Erdogan's speech to be inappropriately
    "tough" and "irreconcilable". But Idiz does not agree with them,
    "Instead of creating favorable grounds for Turkish-Armenian relations,
    Kocharian is trying to strengthen the old concepts in Europe and by
    doing this to 'get Ankara in line' and 'drive Turkey into a corner".

    In other words, Milliyet sees the reason of Kocharian-Erdogan
    meeting failure in aforesaid "calculations" of Kocharian. Referring
    to political observers Zaman, on the contrary, sees the reason in
    failure of Kocharian-Aliyev meeting. The same observers indicate
    that Erdogan viewed a meeting with Kocharian possible if the
    Kocharian-Aliyev meeting had been successful; however, "upon the
    failure of the bilateral summit, he did not attempt to meet with the
    Armenian President".
