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.

      Armenia welcomes recognition of Armenian Genocide by Lithuanian parliament

      Recognition of the Armenian Genocide by Turkey in 1915 by Lithuania is another step towards international recognition of this horrible crime, said Head of parliamentary faction of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation Dashnaktsutiun Levon Mkrtchyan to a REGNUM correspondent.

      According to Mkrtchyan, it is very important from the political point of view that another EU country recognized Armenian genocide, and that understanding of the horrible character of this crime has spread Eastern Europe.

      Head of the Republican Party faction Galust Saakyan also expressed his gratitude and satisfaction with this decision and added that the world understood that without this recognition they could face serious problems.

      Head of the Defense, National Security and Interior Affairs Parliamentary Commission, member of Orinats Erkir party Mger Shakhgeldyan noted that “the process of the recognition of historical justice has a worldwide coverage and is irreversible”. He added that this decision is especially important to parliaments of Scandinavian and Baltic countries.

      As REGNUM earlier reported, on December 15 the Lithuanian parliament passed by a majority the resolution on recognition of the Armenian Genocide in 1915. The resolution condemns the events of 1915 and calls Turkey to recognize the Genocide.

      The resolution condemns the events of 1915 and calls Turkey to recognize the Genocide.

      The voting was held in the evening of Thursday. 55 of 141 MPs participated in the debates on the resolution. As a result, 48 deputies voted for the resolution, 3 abstained from voting, no one voted against.

            Lithuania's Call To Admit Armenian Nation's Genocide Draws Diplomatic Demarche From

            LITHUANIA'S CALL TO ADMIT ARMENIAN NATION'S GENOCIDE DRAWS DIPLOMATIC DEMARCHE FROM TURKEY

            Baltic News Service
            December 21, 2005

            The Lithuanian parliament's resolution, which urges Turkey to
            acknowledge having carried out genocide of the Armenian nation almost
            a century ago, will worsen the bilateral Lithuanian-Turkish relations,
            Lithuanian Ambassador to Turkey Vytautas Nauduzas has been told.

            Nauduzas was summoned by the Turkish Foreign Ministry's Security
            Department director on Tuesday.

            After Lithuanian lawmakers adopted the resolution last Thursday,
            the Turkish Foreign Ministry censured in on Friday, Nauduzas told BNS.

            "During the conversation (at the ministry), I was told that the
            Armenian issue was highly sensitive to Turkey. The official stance is
            that Turkey wants relations normalized with Armenia. He also said that
            the resolution had been adopted hastily. I was told this would without
            doubt have an effect on bilateral relations," said the ambassador.

            In his words, Turkey issued similar responses to analogous resolutions
            adopted by other countries - Slovakia, Poland and Russia.

            This also had an effect on the agenda of visits, for instance,
            Turkish parliamentary chairman did not go to Moscow and canceled
            other foreign visits.

            During the meeting at the Turkish Foreign Ministry, the Lithuanian
            ambassador noted the public opinions in Europe and Lithuania had been
            affected by the trial of writer Orhan Pamuk. Pamuk, Turkey's most
            famous novelist, should go on trial for "denigrating Turkishness",
            under the Chapter 301 of the amended Turkish Penal Code, which drew
            broad criticism abroad.

            The trial will focus on remarks made by Pamuk in the Swiss newspaper
            Das Bild in February 2005. In the interview, he said that "thirty
            thousand Kurds and one million Armenians were killed in Turkey"
            during World War One and again in the 1980s and 1990s. He also said
            that "almost no one dares to speak out on this but me." Ankara has
            always denied genocide against Armenians.

            "The reply was that Turkish courts are independent, and I said that
            the Lithuanian Seimas was independent too, especially from Turkish
            courts. The Seimas has a right to state its opinion on any issue,"
            said Nauduzas.

            The ambassador noted that the conversation with the Turkish diplomat
            had been an unpleasant and tense one: "It was not the friendliest
            meeting I've had."

            The diplomat said he had proposed a good-willed and constructive view
            of the Lithuanian-Turkish ties.

            He told BNS he had noticed many articles in the Turkish press about
            the Lithuanian parliament's resolution, saying there may be many more
            statements by Turkish officials criticizing the Seimas' stance.

            In the statement passed last week, the Turkish Foreign Ministry
            censured the Lithuanian resolution, dismissing it as lacking historical
            and legal background.

            "The parliament (...), condemning the genocide of the Armenian nation
            committed by the Turkish Ottoman Empire in 1915, calls on the Republic
            of Turkey to recognize this historical fact," reads the resolution
            adopted last Thursday.

            In the Armenians' words, about 1.5 million Armenians were killed
            during the genocide committed by the Ottoman Empire in 1915-1923.

            Turkey, which is seeking EU membership, denies the fact of genocide,
            saying that Armenians were victims of the war, which claimed the
            lives of many Turks as well.

            The genocide of the Armenian nation has been officially acknowledged
            by the Court of Human Rights (1984), UN Human Rights Subcommission
            (1985), the European Parliament (1987), Greece, Sweden, Belgium,
            the Netherlands, Slovakia, Poland and other countries.
