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.

    ANKARA: Walesa: Armenian Bill Should not Influence Bilateral

    ANKARA: Walesa: Armenian Bill Should not Influence Bilateral
    Relations

    By Ergin Acar, Serdar Ertas
    Published: Monday 16, 2005

    Former Polish President Lech Walesa said the Polish Parliament's
    adoption of a bill regarding the so-called Armenian genocide should
    not influence bilateral relations with Turkey.

    Walesa interpreted the parliamentary decision as a political game and
    warned Turkey not to adopt an attitude forcing the Polish to choose
    "either us or the Armenians;" on the contrary, to maintain bilateral
    relations with Poland defended the former Polish President. Speaking
    with the Cihan News Agency before Turkish Prime Minister Recep
    Tayyip Erdogan's visit, he said that Poland wants to continue its
    friendship with Turkey and Ankara should remain balanced so as not
    to destroy relations. Mentioning Poland was not the first and only
    country making this decision, Walesa said: "Turkey should not offer
    us a choice and say, 'work with us and review the decision'. Poland
    wants to continue its ongoing friendship with Turkey. Ankara should
    not destroy relations."

    Former Polish President alleged that Turkey has been slow regarding
    the so-called genocide allegations and claimed that the parliamentary
    decision was taken to encourage both parties to find a speedy
    solution for the disagreement. "The parliamentary decision is not a
    blamable decision, on the contrary, it is a decision taken to find a
    solution. Turkey should insist on a solution to the incident. But all
    should be aware that these are all part of a political game." Turkey
    immediately became annoyed with regard to the allegations and did
    not want to listen the details, Walesa went on, "If Turkey does
    not want to listen, then, the incidents will be controlled in an
    international area."

    The Polish Parliament unanimously accepted the allegations regarding
    the "so-called Armenian genocide" last month.

      Genocide Exhibition Shocks Polish People

      24.10.2005 12:08 GMT-08:00
      /PanARMENIAN.Net/ An exhibition titled “The First Holocaust of the 20th century” opened in the Polish town of Wraclaw today. Over 40 photos depicting the period of 1915-1918 were represented in the central square, PanARMENIAN.Net reporter in Poland informed. The exhibition attendees shuddered with horror at the sight of the white and black photos show common graves of Armenian soldiers serving in the army of the Ottoman Empire, the Armenian children in Mesopotamia, who survived the Genocide, and pictures of 20 hung Armenians, members of the Hnchakyan party. Meanwhile not all of those present were aware of the events of 1915-1923. Some Polish students heard of Armenian Genocide for the first time in their life. “Turkey must acknowledge the crime it committed,” one of the students said. A historian, who was also present at the exhibition stated, “Armenia must press for the international recognition of the Genocide.” Another exhibition presenting the photos of the ruined churches of the city of Ani also opened in Wroclaw today. The photos were taken last year during the search of lost Polish student Rafal Edrasik, who headed for Turkey via Armenia to make clear the causes of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict and confront them with the events of 1915. However during the period of May 24 and June 1, 2003 the student disappeared in the environs of Lake Van and his search has been fruitless so far.
      "All truth passes through three stages:
      First, it is ridiculed;
      Second, it is violently opposed; and
      Third, it is accepted as self-evident."

      Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)
