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.

    Lithuanians speak out against Turkey in EU

    The Baltic Times
    28.07.2005

    By TBT staff

    Vilius Alisauskas, coordinator of Voice for Europe in Lithuania, told
    the Baltic News Service that the current wave of protest against
    Turkey's membership, launched in Budapest in mid-July, will visit
    several largest European cities in two weeks.

    Participants in the action will seek to draw the attention of the
    public, politicians and media representatives to problems that Turkey's
    full-fledged membership in the EU would cause.

    Alisauskas said that participants in the Vilnius demonstration maintain
    the position that Turkey is `alien' for Europe because of the political
    system, religion, the human rights situation and the geographical situation.

    `Turkey is not a democratic country. It has serious problems with its
    neighbors and ethnic minorities, does not promote human rights and
    freedoms, does not preserve the European culture and values,
    furthermore, from the geographical point of view, Turkey is not in
    Europe,' he said.

    `Turkey has nothing in common with Europe. Algeria is not far as well,
    so let's maybe admit it as well,' he added.

    In his words, participants believe that the EU can cooperate with Turkey
    without granting the latter full membership.

    During the international initiative Voice for Europe, European people
    will be urged to sign a petition against Turkey's membership in the EU.

    International initiative Voice for Europe actions are organized in July
    in Slovakia, France, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, Great Britain, the
    Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Lithuania, Poland, the Czech
    Republic and Germany.

    Turkey, which has a population of 70 million, mostly Muslims, has been
    seeking EU membership since 1963. If Turkey joined the EU, it would be
    the largest EU member in terms of its area and population.

    EU accession negotiations with Turkey will start on Oct. 3.
