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.

    Private bill concerning the recognition of the Armenian genocide deposited in Spain

    Tuesday June 20, 2006, Stéphane/armenews







    Take care media of Collective VAN

    Collective VAN received this advertisement of the young Benjamin Kasparian of Marseilles which undertakes as a recluse a true work of lobbying… “I ask you to find herewith an answer brought to email which I had addressed last on April 20 to all the Spanish deputies and in which I asked them to deposit at the Spanish Parliament a resolution of recognition of the Armenian genocide.

    This answer emanates from Mrs. Rosa Maria Bonas I Pahisa, deputy of Catalan party GP Esquerra Republicana. I translate to you below into French the text present in enclosure. “Benjamin Kasparian

    Private bill concerning the recognition of the Armenian genocide deposited in Spain

    The Parliamentary Group of the party Esquerra Republicana, at the request of the deputy Rosa Maria Bonas I Pahisa, at the shelter of the provisions of article 193 and according to the payment in force of the House of Commons, presents the following PRIVATE BILL concerning the recognition of the Armenian genocide so that it is discussed in Commission.

    The Armenian Genocide is the term usually used to refer to the massive deportation, and the dead one which was followed from there, of an unspecified number of civil Armenians (estimated at more than one million) during the First World War, like during preliminary and posterior years, following the repressive policies of the Turkish government.

    At the beginning of the genocide, the United Kingdom, France and Russia reflect in guard the Young Turks, who directed the Turkish government, that they would be held like persons in charge for crime against humanity. After the First World War, courts of post-war period in Turkey considered the Young Turks by condemning them to died for a genocide which was recognized by many officers Turkish and the testimonys collected by the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany.

    However, and with the Young Turks condemned to the exile, the Armenian genocide would have continued with a greater virulence if Mustafa Kemal “Ataturk” had been with the capacity.

    Despite everything the obviousnesses, Turkey always denied the existence of a genocide by concluding that the deaths were not the result of a plan of massive extermination ordered by the Othoman State but were caused by the interethnic fights, the diseases and the famine during the confused period of the First World War.

    However, almost all the specialists (including in Turkey) think that the events correspond to the current definition of genocide, opinion supported by the United Nations, the European Parliament and an increasing list of country among which France, Canada, Italy, Greece, Cyprus, Arménie, Slovakia, Poland, Lebanon, Russia, Lithuania, Belgium, Switzerland, Netherlands, Sweden, Venezuela, Argentina, Uruguay and the Vatican.

    The Spanish State does not form yet part of those which recognized the Armenian genocide. While the historical recognition of the perpetrated crimes is necessary to heal the wounds and to recreate bonds of peace, it is important that the recognition of the genocide by the Spanish State intervenes and that this last requires with insistence, in the adequate international authorities, the final recognition of the Armenian genocide.

    PRIVATE BILL

    The House of Commons reconnait the Armenian genocide carried out by Turkey as a crime against humanity and requests the Spanish government of:

    1. To ask with insistence at the Turkish State the recognition of the Armenian genocide as a gesture of reconciliation with Arménie and goodwill in the regional relations within the framework of the culture of the Alliance of Civilizations.

    It is for all these reasons that this private bill is deposited.

    2. To claim with the European Union the statute of mediator enters the States of Turkey and Arménie to obtain the final recognition of the Armenian genocide.

    First, it is ridiculed;
    Second, it is violently opposed; and
    Third, it is accepted as self-evident."
