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.

    'greek Nightmare' Adds To Armenian One

    AZG Armenian Daily #092, 21/05/2005


    Genocide...

    'GREEK NIGHTMARE' ADDS TO ARMENIAN ONE

    May 19 Declared 'Commemoration Day of Greek Genocide in Pontos'

    With unprecedented arrangements, Armenians all over the world
    commemorated the 90th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide on April
    24th. The most impressive of all arrangements was the march of more
    than 1.5 million Armenians to Tsitsernakaberd. The international
    conference in Yerevan held those days was a significant event as it
    added scientific meaning to the anniversary.

    What was also unique in this conference is the participation of two
    scientists from Turkey - Murad Belge and Baskin Oran. Unprecedented
    were the sympathies of the Turkish Union of Human Rights to the
    Armenian people on occasion of the 90th anniversary.

    Among the organizations that visited Tsitsernakaberd Genocide Memorial
    were Germany's TODAY, Turkey-Germany Union of Human Rights Protection,
    Confederation of Workers from Turkey in Europe and International
    Federation of Cultural Exchange. PSD, Liberty Party of Dersim,
    released a statement condemning "The Armenian Genocide in either
    Ottoman or post-Kemal Turkey".

    While official Turkey is seeking to curb initiatives directed at
    international recognition of the Armenian Genocide, the Greeks in
    Thessalonica organize a rally on May 19 demanding "recognition of
    genocide of Greeks of Pontos". Then, according to Anatolu agency, the
    protesters moved to the Turkish consulate in Thessalonica to hand their
    written demand in. It must be noted that May 19 is celebrated in Turkey
    as Ataturk Commemoration, Youth and Sports Day as that very day in
    1919 Mustafa Kemal Ataturk left Istanbul secretly and set foot in the
    Black Sea city of Samsun and launched the Turkish War of Liberation.

    Nikos Chiarchionis, minister of Macedonia-Thrace, said in his address
    to the crowd gathered at city square that ,"The Pontos genocide
    is one of the dark pages of world history, thus it should receive
    international acknowledgement together with the genocides of Armenians
    and Jews".

    Following Chiarchionis' speech, Thessalonica mayor Vasilis
    Papayorgopulos said that the Municipality took a decision of erecting a
    "monument to the genocide of Greeks of Pontos". Deputy foreign minister
    of Greece, Panayotis Skandalakis, issued a statement informing that
    19 May is a turning point in Greeks' history, they do not forget those
    banished from their homeland. "Exile is an incurable wound. Historic
    memory cannot be distorted. But the past should be no barrier for
    the future", he continued.

    Greek Prime Minister Kostas Karamanlis is said to have sent a note
    to the Greek unions of Pontos "on occasion of commemoration of Greek
    genocide in Pontos". We are now to wait for Turkey's comeback.

    And here is how Ankara reports the news... with the word "so-called" that is!


    Remembrance ceremony in Greece for the 'Pontus genocide'

    Hürriyetim
    20.05.2005

    Greek Foreign Minister Assistant Panayotis Skandalakis

    A remembrance ceremony and march took place in Thessaloniki, Greece yesterday evening for the victims of the so-called Greek 'Pontus genocide.' A group of people gathered in one of the city's central squares shouting anti-Turkish slogans, and then marched to the Turkish Consulate in Thessaloniki. The marchers then left a written notice of protest in front of the Consulate.

    Nikos Chiarchionis, Greek Minister representing Macendonia and Thrace, spoke at the gathering, saying "the Potus genocide should be remembered by the world on the same level as the Armenian and Jewish genocides." Mayor of Thessaloniki, Vasilis Papayorgopulos, announced at the meeting that the local parliament had decided that a monument would be built in Thessaloniki to the victims of the so-called 'Pontus genocide.' A message from Foreign Minister Assistant Panayotis Skandalakis read at the meeting explained that for Greeks, May 19 was an historical turning point, and that the day was "to remember those who were expelled from their homelands, and the struggles which followed."

    Greek government spokesman Teodoros Rusopulos said that Greek Prime Minister Kostas Karamanlis had sent a supportive message regarding the May 19 so-called Greek 'Pontus genocide' to the Pontus Greek Organization.
