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.

    DIPLOMACY
    ANAKARA - Turkish Daily News

    Azerbaijan's only ambassador to Ankara since the country gained
    independence in the early 1990s, Mehmet Aliyev Nevruzoglu will bid
    goodbye to Turkey on Friday after serving almost 13 years in the
    Turkish capital.

    "Similar to a French saying, I say everybody has two homelands. For
    me and the Turkic world, it is my own country and Turkey," Nevruzoglu
    said in an expression of his feelings at a farewell visit to the
    Turkish Daily News yesterday. "It's hard to say goodbye to a homeland."

    Despite being fond of his career as a physics professor, Nevruzoglu
    accepted the Ankara assignment in 1992 as he perceived his mission to
    establish the Azerbaijani Embassy in Turkey, which he describes as
    the center of the Turkic world, as very crucial. "I stopped working
    as a scientist, although I loved it and had invested 50 years in it,
    to come to Ankara for such an important mission," said the ambassador,
    recalling his early days of service.

    Ethnically and culturally bound neighbors Turkey and Azerbaijan
    enjoy close ties. For instance, Turkey insists on Armenian military
    withdrawal from the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region, among other
    conditions, before normalizing relations with Yerevan. Baku agreed
    to help Turkey in efforts to ease the economic isolation of ethnic
    kin in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (KKTC).

    Privately owned Azerbaijani planes have recently landed at a KKTC
    airport after visits to Nicosia by Azerbaijani parliamentarians.

    Nevruzoglu said that after April 2004 referenda in which Turkish
    Cypriots voted in favor of a U.N. peace plan while Greek Cypriots
    voted against it, the international community realized the Turkish
    Cypriot community was in support of a peaceful settlement to the
    dispute. "Everybody realized our brothers in the KKTC were subjected
    to injustice," he said.

    The veteran ambassador recalled an Organization for Security and
    Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) summit in Istanbul where the then
    leaders of Turkey, the United States, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan
    affixed final signatures for the start of the multi-billion-dollar
    Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) oil pipeline project as his happiest moment
    during his term in Ankara, along with the birth of his two grandsons.

    Nevruzoglu's career as a diplomat does not end with his departure
    from Turkey. He has been taking Spanish language lessons for the past
    two months because he will soon begin serving as Baku's ambassador
    to Madrid.
