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.

    ARMENIANS OF URUGUAY: ARMENIAN GENOCIDE NOT TOPIC FOR DISCUSSION


    29.07.2005 07:45

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Yesterday the Armenian community held a protest
    action against Turkish Ambassador to Argentina and Uruguay Surku
    Tufan, who initiated a meeting with the commission for foreign issues
    to discuss the Armenian Genocide. The diplomat presented the
    Uruguayan parliamentarians Turkey's proposal on formation of
    Armenian-Turkish joint commission for the investigation of the fact
    of Genocide. Members of the Uruguayan parliament Lilian Kechijian and
    Jeime Trobo stated it's for the first time when a Turkish diplomat
    initiated such kind of meeting. However, the position of the Armenian
    people is unchangeable: the issue of the genocide of not a topic for
    discussion, since it is a proven fact and there is no need in forming
    any commission

    Armenian Genocide Issue Raised Again By Uruguay Parliament

    ARMENIAN GENOCIDE ISSUE RAISED AGAIN BY URUGUAY PARLIAMENT


    MONTEVIDEO, JULY 28, ARMENPRESS: Turkish ambassador to Uruguay
    asked for a behind the door meeting with members of an Uruguayan
    parliamentary commission on foreign relations but refused to talk to
    journalists afterwards. Uruguay was the first nation to officially
    recognize the 1915 Armenian genocide back in 1960-s.
    According to RFE/RL, members of the commission, spoke to
    reporters, describing the meeting as 'very useful," and even
    'historic." A member of the National Party was quoted as saying that
    it was the first time when a Turkish ambassador came to parliament to
    talk about the Armenian genocide. He said the meeting was focused on
    a well-known letter of Turkish prime minister Recep Erdogan to his
    Armenian counterpart Robert Kocharian suggesting that an
    international commission of historians be established to examine the
    mass slaughter of Armenians in the last years of the Ottoman Empire.
    He said the Turkish ambassador asked Uruguay to support the idea,
    saying also his government was ready to accept the guilt if the
    commission found it proven.
    An Armenian member of the parliament, Lilian Kechijian, was
    quoted as saying that she could support or participate in the
    would-be commission's work, but as an Armenian she could not question
    the fact of the genocide. She said the parliament of Uruguay is
    likely to make a statement addressed to Turkish and Armenian
    parliaments.
    Armenian ambassador to Uruguay Ara Aivazian, who learned about
    the meeting from a local Radio Armenia expressed his concerns and
    asked for a similar meeting with the commission. He also asked that
    Uruguay parliament to listen to the Armenian viewpoint before coming
    out with a statement. The commission was said to accept his proposal.

      Uruguay Joined U.S. and EU Call to Open Armenian Border

      /PanARMENIAN.Net/ The parliament of Uruguay has passed a resolution today demanding that Turkey ends the blockade of Armenia and begins the process of establishing diplomatic relations with it. Turkish ambassador to Uruguay had recently asked the parliament of Uruguay to support and participate in an international commission of experts and historians that would decide whether the mass killings of Armenians in the Ottoman Turkey constituted genocide. The parliament first agreed but later backpedaled after Armenian ambassador to Uruguay Ara Ayvazian asked for a meeting with parliament members to convey and explain the official position of Armenia which does not question the fact of the genocide. Today the parliamentarians met again to adopt the resolution. Uruguay was the first nation to officially recognize the Armenian Genocide. The resolution was hailed by an Armenian member of the parliament, Lilian Keshishian. Next week she is expected in Yerevan to attend ceremonies here celebrating the 15th anniversary of the Armenian parliament.
      "All truth passes through three stages:
      First, it is ridiculed;
      Second, it is violently opposed; and
      Third, it is accepted as self-evident."

        Reconciliation Impossible without Armenian Genocide Recognition

        Reconciliation Impossible without Armenian Genocide Recognition

        04.11.2005 22:54 GMT+04:00

        /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian National Committee of South America has issued a
        statement in regard with the resolution adopted by the Uruguay House of
        Representatives on October 25, 2005. The statement read in parts: In regard
        with the Uruguay House of Representatives October 25, 2005 resolution that
        joins in with the European Union and United States calls upon Turkey to lift
        the blockade of Armenia and establish diplomatic relations with Armenia, the
        Armenian National Committee of South America considers it crucial to suggest
        explanations that serve to maintaining the spirit of the resolution and
        express the Armenian people's rightful demand for reparation. We welcome the
        honesty of the Uruguay Parliament in searching the truth and reiterating the
        fact of the Genocide that took the lives of 1.5 million Armenians in
        1915-1923. We have to emphasize that the European Union not only demands
        that Turkey lift the blockade but, since 1987, it has adopted resolutions
        that condition Turkey's membership in the Union by that country's
        recognition of the Genocide, Yerkir online reported.
