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.

    Lebanese Armenians Protest Against Erdogan Visit

    LEBANESE ARMENIANS PROTEST AGAINST ERDOGAN VISIT



    BEIRUT, June 15 (AFP) - Several hundred Lebanese Armenians took
    part in a demonstration Wednesday at which a Turkish flag was burnt
    in protest at a visit by Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip
    Erdogan.

    The demonstrators in Bourj Hammoud, an Armenian suburb of
    Beirut, shouted slogans against the Ottoman massacre of the
    Armenians. Some carried cartoon posters of Erdogan depicting him as
    Pinocchio.

    Lebanon is home to the largest Armenian community in the Arab
    world, made up of descendants of survivors of the 1915-1917
    massacres in Turkey. The community is estimated to number 120,000,
    half of what it was before the 1975-1990 civil war.

    Several countries have recognized the massacres as genocide -- a
    term Turkey fiercely rejects -- and Brussels has urged Ankara to
    face its past and expand freedom of speech.

    But the Ankara government last month squelched a landmark
    conference questioning the official line on the mass killings that
    was to have been held at Istanbul's prestigious Bogazici
    University.

    Erdogan was expected in Beirut later Wednesday for talks with
    Lebanese officials and to take part in the Arab Economic Forum.

    Yes Mustafa, for your mental capacity, I am sure that every Armenian citizen of lebanon had ties to ASALA 30 years ago... whatever makes those little gears in ones head continue to squeak...

      For the rest of you, go and read about ASALA if you don't know much about them. A good start would be "My Brothers Road" by Markar Melkonian. You'll read that ASALA's staff was in the SINGLE DIGITS. Unfortunately for Mustafa, Lebanons Armenian community numbers 30% of its total population (in 6 digits).
