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.

    Armenian Genocide Resolution To Be Discussed In U.s. Congress

    ARMENIAN GENOCIDE RESOLUTION TO BE DISCUSSED IN U.S. CONGRESS

    Pan Armenian News
    07.09.2005 06:59

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian Genocide legislation appears set to come
    before the influential House International Relations Committee as
    early as Wednesday, September 14-th. H.Res.316, which was introduced
    by Representatives George Radanovich (R-CA), Adam Schiff (D-CA), and
    Congressional Armenian Caucus Co-Chairs Frank Pallone (D-NJ) and Joe
    Knollenberg (R-MI), calls upon the President to ensure U.S. foreign
    policy reflects appropriate understanding of the Armenian Genocide. The
    resolution includes thirty detailed findings from past U.S. hearings,
    resolutions and Presidential statements, as well as references to
    statements by international bodies and organizations. This measure,
    which is in the process of being amended, reaffirms the Armenian
    Genocide within the broader context of regional relationships and
    addresses Turkey's efforts to join the European Union. The Turkish
    Ambassador and his lobbyists - including the Livingston Group - are
    actively making the rounds to members of the International Relations
    Committee, seeking to block any action on U.S.

    reaffirmation of the Armenian Genocide. As part of this effort, the
    Livingston Group has been distributing a four-page genocide-denial
    document to Congressional offices, Yerkir Online reports.

    ARMENIAN GENOCIDE LEGISLATION SCHEDULED FOR COMMITTEE CONSIDERATION

    YEREVAN (YERKIR) - Armenian Genocide legislation appears set to come
    before the influential House International Relations Committee as
    early as Wednesday, September 14th, reported the Armenian National
    Committee of America (ANCA).
    07.09.2005 15:43

    According to Congressional sources, Committee Chairman Henry Hyde
    (R-IL) is prepared to "mark-up" both Armenian Genocide Resolutions
    (H.Res.316 and H.Con.Res.195). During this mark-up session, the fifty
    members of the panel will have an opportunity to consider changes
    and then to vote to either approve or disapprove each measure.

    "We want to thank Chairman Hyde for his leadership in ensuring
    that the members of his Committee have the opportunity to vote on
    Armenian Genocide legislation," said ANCA Executive Director Aram
    Hamparian. "Along with our local chapters around the nation and
    coalition partners here in Washington, DC, we are working hard to
    support the efforts of our friends - Congressmen George Radanovich,
    Adam Schiff, and Armenian Caucus Co-Chairmen Joe Knollenberg and
    Frank Pallone - in encouraging the Committee to act favorably on
    this legislation.

    H.Res.316, which was introduced by Representatives George Radanovich
    (R-CA), Adam Schiff (D-CA), and Congressional Armenian Caucus
    Co-Chairs Frank Pallone (D-NJ) and Joe Knollenberg (R-MI), calls
    upon the President to ensure U.S. foreign policy reflects appropriate
    understanding of the Armenian Genocide.

    The resolution includes thirty detailed findings from past U.S.
    hearings, resolutions and Presidential statements, as well as
    references to statements by international bodies and organizations. As
    of today, a bipartisan group of over one hundred and twelve
    Representatives have already agreed to cosponsor this measure.

    H.Con.Res.195, introduced by Rep. Adam Schiff and cosponsored by over
    eighty Representatives, was offered following direct negotiations
    with House International Relations Committee Chairman Henry Hyde
    (R-IL). The Chairman agreed to Committee-level consideration of
    Armenian Genocide legislation in return for Rep.

    Schiff tabling a planned June 8th Armenian Genocide amendment to the
    House Foreign Relations Authorization bill. The agreement addressed
    serious concerns on the part of the Administration and Congressional
    leaders that the Schiff Amendment - which had strong prospects of
    passing - would overshadow the White House meeting, held that same day,
    between President Bush and Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan.

    This measure, which is in the process of being amended, reaffirms the
    Armenian Genocide within the broader context of regional relationships
    and addresses Turkey's efforts to join the European Union.

    The Turkish Ambassador and his lobbyists - including the Livingston
    Group - are actively making the rounds to members of the International
    Relations Committee, seeking to block any action on U.S. reaffirmation
    of the Armenian Genocide. As part of this effort, the Livingston
    Group has been distributing a four-page genocide-denial document to
    Congressional offices.

      US House committee to discuss `genocide' resolution

      US House committee to discuss `genocide' resolution

      ANKARA - Turkish Daily News


      The Committee on International Relations of the U.S. House of
      Representatives is to discuss a resolution on U.S. recognition of an
      alleged Armenian genocide and vote on it next week, the Anatolia news
      agency reported yesterday.

      The resolution seems likely to be approved by the committee, chaired
      by Republican Congressman Henry J. Hyde, the agency said. It will be
      sent to a full session of the House if the committee approves it. But
      whether the resolution will be on the agenda depends upon the
      initiative of House Speaker Dennis Hastert.

      The influential Armenian lobby in the U.S. Congress has been exerting
      efforts to secure the committee's approval of the resolution, which
      calls on U.S. President George W. Bush to formulate U.S. foreign
      policy reflecting U.S. recognition of the alleged Armenian genocide.

      Rep. Adam Schiff, a leading proponent of the Armenian lobby, first
      presented the resolution to the House of Representatives in June.

      Turkey denies Armenian allegations that some 1.5 million Armenians
      were killed as part of a genocide campaign in eastern Anatolia during
      World War I and is calling for a scientific study of the
      allegations. Several world parliaments, including those of France,
      Canada and Poland, have passed resolutions backing the Armenians'
      genocide claims. There has been strong pressure from Armenians
      worldwide for the U.S. Congress to recognize their allegations as
      well.

      The planned resolution would be similar to a past resolution in 2000,
      Anatolia said. That legislation was shelved before it was forwarded to
      the floor of the House following a last-minute intervention by then
      President Bill Clinton, who had warned House Speaker Hastert of
      `possible far-reaching negative consequences for the United States' if
      the House voted on the legislation.
